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

ChatGPT o3 and canvas is a builder's dream

You can create a complete web app with a backend and deploy it.

The whole workflow takes less than 5 minutes, here are the steps: Image
1. Prepare the prompt

I use my GPT "Prompt Enhancer" to save time.

It transformed my basic prompt into a much more complete prompt so that o3 could one-shot the app.

(You can get it for free below)

Prompt:

"You're a senior front-end developer with experience in building productivity tools using vanilla JavaScript and browser-based storage. Create a single-file web application that serves as a "Prompt Organizer" to help users save, edit, delete, and categorize AI prompts directly in the browser without any external dependencies. Use only HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and store data persistently using localStorage or IndexedDB to ensure saved prompts remain available across sessions. Each prompt should include fields such as title, description, tags, and the full prompt text. Users should be able to filter prompts by tags, search by keywords, and sort by date created or modified. Include example prompts to populate the organizer on first load. Structure the code so it’s readable and modular within the single HTML file, using internal
