Bing Chat AI now has access to plugins in addition to being able to use GPT-4 for free.

You can even disable web search to use it as ChatGPT.

I'll show you how to access and use the plugins:
1. Accessing plugins

Go to bing .com/chat

A new "Plugins" tab is available next to your conversation history.

Note:
This is currently being rolled out, but you may be able to access it later.

By clicking on it, you can scroll down to see all available plugins.

You can activate up to 3 at a time.

There are 6 at the moment:

- Instacart: get ingredients delivered to your store
- Kayak: plan a trip
- Klarna: compare prices online
- OpenTable: restaurant recommendations and reservations
- Shop: search for products
- Search: give the web access to Bing Chat

More to come (see below).
2. Use a plugin

Check the plugin(s) (up to 3) you're interested in.

Bing Chat will then be able to use it according to the prompt you write (like ChatGPT).

Example with the Klarna price comparison plugin:

Prompt → "Where to buy the cheapest white Nike Air Force?"

The plugin will give you websites to order from and the sizes available.
3. Enable / disable search

Until now, you couldn't use Bing Chat without web search.

Now you can disable it when it's not needed.

One advantage is that it makes Bing Chat faster at answering your questions.

Caution:

1. Dall-E 3 does not work when web search is disabled.

2. The recency of Bing Chat knowledge is limited to the GPT-4 one.
4. Future plugins

In May, Microsoft announced the arrival of plugins for Bing Chat.

Several others are already available in beta (Canary).

Canva, Adobe Express, Calendly or Wolfram could be added soon!

Here's the image that was published at the time of the announcement ↓ Image
Bing Chat now has many of the features of ChatGPT Plus :

It literally takes just a few minutes.

1. Nano Banana

Import your original image into Gemini App or AI Studio.

Then simply ask it to transform the room (or other object) into an isometric view.

2. Video

You're almost done:

Ok AI video gen is evolving really fast

You can now set the EXACT start and end frames before generating.

This means you can literally control your entire video with just 2 images and let AI fill the video in between.

Steps to do it using Kling 2.1
You just need 2 images:

- First frame of your scene (where the video begins)
- Last frame (where it ends)

In Kling 2.1, select "AI Video Generator" then "Image to video."

1. Upload your start image then your end image
2. Type a prompt if you wish
3. Click "Generate" and voilà!
Here’s another quick example:

You can easily control the whole scene and the transition by choosing the right start and end frames.
