Good news for users of Samsung Galaxy smartphones or tablets, a close partnership with Microsoft has led the company to deploy its Bing Chat conversational AI on the Korean giant’s devices.
On social networks, Microsoft has just announced that it has integrated Bing AI, its artificial intelligence, into the “Swiftkey” keyboard. The conversational tool is therefore now available on almost all Samsung Galaxy devices, since Microsoft’s keyboard is built into the system.
By default, Samsung smartphones use the manufacturer’s keyboard, but you can also opt for the Swiftkey keyboard in the settings without having to download any additional software. While many people use Google’s GBoard keyboard thanks to its many features, the arrival of Bing Chat on Swiftkey might just change their ways.
SwiftKey gets a Bing Chat button
The new SwiftKey update, which is number 9.10.11.10, specifically adds three different buttons, all related to Bing AI. We find a search button, a chat button, and a third “Tone” button.
To use SwiftKey, it’s simple. Just go to Settings > Languages & input, and look for the SwiftKey keyboard in those installed by default. The first allows you to perform fast web searches without switching appswhile the second allows toaccess the Bing Chat conversational toolwhich allows you to chat with the AI in the form of requests.
Finally, with Tone, SwiftKey users can communicate more effectively using Bing AI to personalize their text being written in order to adapt it to the situation. They can ask Bing AI to rephrase the text more formally and generally change the tone of the text to suit the situation. This feature will therefore be very interesting to improve or correct your messages before sending them.
Samsung would also consider strengthening its collaboration with Microsoft, to go further than a simple button on a keyboard integrated by default. Indeed, Samsung is reportedly considering turning away from its $3 billion deal with Google to make Bing its new default search engine.
