Microsoft Build 2023: New AI tools, plugins and integration of Bing and ChatGPT

Tech giant Microsoft is holding its annual Build conference this week in Seattle and, like every year, a barrage of announcements are expected. Major announcements have started coming in even before CEO Satya Nadella's keynote has begun. And, much on the expected lines announcements regarding AI tools are on top of the list.

The company has made three major announcements - integration of Bing Search into ChatGPT, a common plugin platform with OpenAI and introduction of new plugin partners along with expansion of integration of Bing ChatGPT across Microsoft Copilot.

The company has announced that its search engine Bing will now be the default search experience for ChatGPT, enabling the bot to offer answers from across the web. The company also said that it is adopting the same open plugin standard that OpenAI introduced for ChatGPT. This move will enable interoperability across ChatGPT and Microsoft’s copilot offerings.

Microsoft's copilot is an application that uses AI and large language models to assist its users with cognitive tasks. This was launched nearly two years ago with GitHub, which helps developers in their daily work exercises.

By enabling interoperability across ChatGPT and Bing, the AI bot will be able to undertake tasks like finding and booking a restaurant reservation using an OpenTable plugin, for example, the company said in a statement.

The company has also announced expansion in the plugin ecosystem. "As part of this shared plugin platform, Bing is adding to its support for plugins. In addition to the ones previously announced for OpenTable and Wolfram Alpha, it will also have Expedia, Instacart, Kayak, Klarna, Redfin, TripAdvisor and Zillow among many others in the Bing ecosystem," the company explained.

In addition, developers will now be able to extend Microsoft 365 Copilot with plugins. Plugins for Microsoft 365 include ChatGPT and Bing plugins, as well as Teams message extensions and Power Platform connectors – enabling developers to leverage their existing investments, it further added.

Plugin is like a bridge between a large language model that was trained on public data from the internet and all the data that a company may keep privately about its benefits, it gives the copilot access to those files when it answers a question from an employee at the company.

“A plugin is about how you, the copilot developer, give your copilot or an AI system the ability to have capabilities that it’s not manifesting right now and to connect it to data and connect it to systems that you’re building,” Kevin Scott, Microsoft’s chief technology officer said.

WhatsApp rolls out ‘edit sent messages’ feature. Here is how to use it on Android and iOS devices

WhatsApp started beta testing an interesting feature on its mobile and web apps earlier in May. The Meta-owned company is now rolling out a feature that will allow users to edit their sent messages.

The feature will be available for both Android and iOS devices. To use the new ‘edit messages’ feature, users will need to update to the latest version of WhatsApp from the App Store and the Google Play store.

The feature is similar to messages sent via Apple’s Messages app. Additionally, users will get a short window to edit sent messages on WhatsApp.

The feature allows users to edit sent text messages as many times as they want. But there is a cap of 15 minutes to edit the text message.

Additionally, for the feature to work seamlessly, both you and the recipients must update the app to the latest version. As of now, the feature is not supported on WhatsApp Web and desktop apps.

Open the WhatsApp app on your device.

Click and hold the message that you wish to edit.

For iOS, tap on Edit from the message context menu. For Android devices, click on the three-dot menu at the top right corner of the screen.

Enter your new message.

Next, you can click on the green check mark button next to the text box to save your edited message.
