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 :

- Web search
- Vision
- Voice
- Plugins
- GPT-4

It becomes even more interesting to use!

You can add a local "=AI" formula in Excel

Excel can then process data using a free and open-source AI model like Gemma.

This means that it understands what's in the cells and returns a tailored response based on your prompt even offline.

Steps to set it up and examples below Image
Keep in mind that everything runs locally, even the AI model (LLM): no remote servers or APIs!

EXAMPLE 1 - Categorize data

Formula:
=AI("Is this a basketball or baseball team? Just write one word: Basketball or Baseball. Team name: ",A1)
EXAMPLE 2 - Sentiment analysis

Formula:
=AI("Is this sentence negative or positive? Just write one word: Positive or Negative. The sentence is: '",A1,"'")

And you can do much more like data extraction, summarizing, etc.!
