Hi Online Friends,

If you are looking for a way to enhance your browsing experience with the power of artificial intelligence, you might want to check out ChatGPT Edge, a new feature that is rolling out to Microsoft Edge users on Windows 11 and Windows 10.

ChatGPT Edge is a sidebar tool that allows you to interact with the browser using natural language in the flow of a conversation, much like the new Bing-powered by ChatGPT. You can also ask Bing to summarize the page you are looking at, including any PDFs, compose content for the web, and get insights on relevant information about the page.

In this article, we will explain what ChatGPT Edge is, how it works, how to get it, and how to use it effectively. We will also answer some common questions about this new feature and its benefits.

What is ChatGPT Edge?

A brief introduction to ChatGPT

Before we dive into ChatGPT Edge, let's first understand what ChatGPT is and why it is so impressive.

ChatGPT is a conversational AI system developed by OpenAI, a research organization dedicated to creating and promoting friendly artificial intelligence. ChatGPT uses a deep neural network called GPT-3, which stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3.

GPT-3 is one of the most advanced language models in the world, capable of generating coherent and fluent text on almost any topic, given some input. GPT-3 can also answer questions, write summaries, create content, and perform various natural language tasks.

ChatGPT is a specific application of GPT-3 that focuses on creating realistic and engaging dialogues with human users. ChatGPT can chat about anything, from casual topics to specific domains, and adapt its tone, style, and personality to suit the context and the user's preferences.

How Microsoft integrated ChatGPT into its products

Microsoft is one of the few companies that have exclusive access to GPT-3, thanks to a partnership with OpenAI. Microsoft has been experimenting with GPT-3 in various ways, such as creating chatbots, generating code, and enhancing its productivity tools.

One of the most prominent examples of Microsoft's use of GPT-3 is the new Bing-powered by ChatGPT, which was announced during Microsoft's AI event in February 2023. The new Bing is a radical redesign of the search engine that leverages ChatGPT to provide users with more natural and interactive ways to find information online.

The new Bing allows users to ask questions using natural language and get answers from ChatGPT in the form of a conversation. Users can also use voice input and output to chat with Bing more conveniently. The new Bing also features a compose tool that helps users create content for the web using ChatGPT's writing capabilities.

The new Bing is currently available only for select users who sign up for the waitlist on chat.openai.com. However, Microsoft has also integrated ChatGPT into its Edge browser, making it more accessible and useful for more people.

What ChatGPT Edge can do for you

ChatGPT Edge is a sidebar tool that brings ChatGPT's conversational AI features to your browser. With ChatGPT Edge, you can do the following things:

Chat with Bing using natural language and get answers from search result pages on popular search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, Duckduckgo and more.
Ask Bing to summarize the page you are looking at, including any PDFs. For example, you can ask it to summarize a 20-page document or an article on Wikipedia.
Use the compose tool to create content for the web using ChatGPT's writing capabilities. You can customize the tone, format, length, and other aspects of the text that will be generated. For example, if you had Gmail open, you could ask it to write a humorous email to a friend asking if they would like to go to dinner.
Get insights on relevant information about the page you are looking at, such as page topics, about that site, analytics, and 'more for you,' which suggests similar content.

ChatGPT Edge is designed to enhance your browsing experience by providing you with more options, information, and assistance. You can use ChatGPT Edge to learn more about the topics you are interested in, get help with your tasks, or simply have fun chatting with an AI.
