Microsoft brings Bing's AI chatbot to its iOS and Android SwiftKey apps

<p>Microsoft has begun integrating <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://blogs.bing.com/search/april-2023/Easily-access-the-new-AI-powered-Bing-across-your-favorite-mobile-apps">Bing AI [/url] capabilities into its popular keyboard app SwiftKey. While the third-party tool already includes some AI features, like learning from users' writing styles to make suggestions. Once a user clicks on the Bing button, which is located on the top left side of the keyboard, it offers three options: Search, Tone and Chat.&nbsp;</p><p>Say you want to know which dessert pairs best with lasagna, just type that in to the search bar as you converse. Chat will suggest responses that it feels are in keeping with the messages or emails it's responding to. Tone, however, can help keep things more formal if you're replying to a work email and need a hand making things appear a little more professional.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>Any iOS and Android users can set SwiftKey as their default keyboard across apps, like social media and email. Basically, if an app allows a third-party keyboard, you can use SwiftKey on it. Aside from AI technology, SwiftKey's other features include correcting spelling mistakes, task saving and a personalized toolbar. The Bing button lives on the left side of the keyboard and also autosuggests across the top as a person types.</p><p>SwiftKey can also access up to five chosen languages and, in the same release, Microsoft revealed updates to its translation services in the Bing App. Users translating words and phrases from English to French, Spanish or Italian will now see the masculine and feminine versions, versus the chatbot making assumptions.</p><p>Bing's inclusion into SwiftKey follows the lead of other Microsoft programs like <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/microsoft-brings-its-bing-ai-chatbot-to-mobile-apps-and-skype-173839923.html">Skype[/url] and <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/microsoft-start-personalized-news-feed-164505328.html">Microsoft Start[/url]. Skype lets users message directly with Bing in a group chat or on-on-one, while Microsoft Start provides access to Bing across the app.&nbsp;</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/microsoft-brings-bings-ai-chatbot-to-its-ios-and-android-swiftkey-apps-113528183.html?src=rss
