Microsoft Swiftkey Keyboard Now Comes With Bing Chatbot Ai

Microsoft is now making available a beta version of its SwiftKey keyboard app for Android, which includes the new artificial intelligence features marketed as part of Bing. This is how the Bing Chat AI can help with writing in practically every app.

As announced by Twitter user XenoPanther last night, the Bing chat integration is now available to SwiftKey beta users. Not only is the well-known chat function integrated, with which one can also interact with the AI ​​chatbot on the web, but also a so-called “tone mode”, which can rewrite entered texts directly “in the keyboard”.

So anyone who uses SwiftKey on their Android smartphone anyway – after all, some manufacturers already supply the Android keyboard ex works – can now access the powerful AI bot from Microsoft Bing even more easily. The only requirement is that you download the beta version of the SwiftKey app from the Google Play Store and register for use with your own Microsoft account.

Whether there will soon be an update for the iOS version is open

Microsoft has since officially confirmed SwiftKey’s Bing AI integration, with Mobile and Commerce CTO Pedram Rezaei tweeting that the new functionality is being rolled out slowly. So it may take some time before the AI ​​integration reaches the individual beta users. It is still unclear when and if SwiftKey for iOS users will also be able to use the AI ​​integration.

The software company bought SwiftKey in 2016 and has been developing the product ever since. The iOS version was surprisingly put on hold last year, but then, based on feedback from the user community, it was quickly decided to continue offering the software keyboard for iOS. In addition, extensive investments in the iOS version were promised.

Meanwhile, Microsoft has also started adding new ways to access OpenAI’s ChatGPT or GPT-4 AI functionality to other products, after recently announcing plans to invest billions in the startup company. Soon the technology can also be used in OneNote in the form of an “AI Copilot”.
