Satya Nadela introduced an all-new AI-powered search engine, Bing, and a reinvented browser, Edge, to help people unlock the joy of discovery, feel the wonder of creation, and better harness the world's knowledge. His vision is to create tools that serve as an AI copilot for the web, empowering users to get more from their search and web browsing experiences.
Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO of Microsoft, believes that AI will fundamentally change every software category, starting with the largest category of all, search. With Bing and Edge, powered by an AI copilot and chat, we are taking the first step in that direction.
Every day, there are over 10 billion search queries, but we estimate that half of them go unanswered because people are using search to do things it wasn't originally designed to do. That's why we've brought together search, browsing, and chat into one unified experience, offering better search results, more complete answers, and a new chat experience.
The new Bing search engine provides an improved version of the familiar search experience, with more relevant results for simple queries like sports scores, stock prices, and weather. A new sidebar provides more comprehensive answers if you need them. Bing also reviews results from across the web to find and summarize the answer you're looking for, even offering detailed instructions for tasks like baking a cake.
For more complex searches, the new Bing offers an interactive chat experience that empowers you to refine your search until you get the complete answer you're looking for. You can ask for more details, clarity, and ideas, with links available so you can immediately act on your decisions.
In addition to providing answers, the new Bing can also generate content to help you with tasks like trip planning, job interviews, and trivia night quizzes. It cites all of its sources so that you can see the web content it references.
The new Edge browser comes with new AI capabilities, a new look, and two new functionalities: Chat and compose. With the Edge Sidebar, you can get a summary of a lengthy financial report and compare it to a competing company's financials, and you can also ask Edge to help you compose content like a LinkedIn post. Edge can understand the web page you're on and adapts accordingly.
Satya Nadela believe that the new Bing and Edge are the perfect AI copilots for the web, providing a unified experience that helps users get more from their searches and web browsing. We are excited to launch these tools and see how they can benefit people all around the world.
