Microsoft is set to integrate Bing Chat into its SwiftKey keyboard, in order to make this AI chatbot technology accessible to all via smartphone. Initially, it will offer the ability to rewrite text to change its tone.

Bing Chat is powered by the GPT-4 language model developed by OpenAI, the same one used by ChatGPT 4. The idea now is to integrate this into SwiftKey, Microsoft's virtual keyboard for smartphones. A first beta version has been launched for Android, a version for iOS should follow a little later in order to reach a maximum number of potential users.

For the moment, this new feature is only available to a select few. It appears as an icon to the left of the GIF selector in the SwiftKey toolbar. According to the first testimonials that have appeared on Reddit, this Bing Chat feature in SwiftKey so far allows users to rewrite messages in different ways, depending on the context, with a more professional or polite tone, for example.

There's no doubt that Google, which recently presented its own conversational AI, Bard, will also soon be integrating this technology into many applications, including its own Gboard keyboard. – AFP Relaxnews
