Bing Chat Open To All With New Upgrades

Microsoft had an event yesterday in NYC showing off some new features for Bing Chat, touting some growth figures and announcing it removed the waitlist for the co-pilot feature.

I covered this in more detail on Search Engine Land but honestly, I covered many of these feature announcements on this site already, so you are all familiar with it.

New Features

Here are the updates to Bing Chat:

(5) You can upload images and search the web for related content in Bing Chat.

Oh, that includes growth of the Edge browser, which is important.
