Users can now engage with Bing on Skype, which is powered by AI, thanks to Microsoft.
In contrast to conventional messaging via SMS, Skype is a messaging platform that provides text messaging, video calls, and voice calls over the Internet. Microsoft acquired Skype in 2011.
The platform has gradually lost users over the last thirteen years, mostly to Zoom, Whatsapp, and Telegram. But with the recent integration of its latest Bing ChatGPT into the chat service, Microsoft has given Skype some new AI life.

How do you integrate Bing ChatGPT with Skype? The 5 easy stages are listed below.
- Register with the Bing Waitlist. You currently need to be chosen to be a part of the Bing Preview for using Bing ChatGPT on Skype, and you can join the preview by signing up for the waitlist. You can move on to the following step after receiving an email from Microsoft informing you that you have been chosen to test out the Bing Preview.
- Install the Skype application on Windows. If the Skype application is already installed on your PC, move on to step 3.
- Use your Skype or Microsoft account to sign in to Skype.
- Make Bing a contact on Skype. To start a conversation with Bing, select “New Chat > New Chat > Search “Bing” > Bing”. When you say “hello” to Bing, Skype will add it as a contact.
- Bing can be added to group chats (Optional). Go to your group conversation, click the gear-shaped setting button beside the group name, and then click “Add Participants > Bing” to add Bing as a participant. Simply add @Bing to the top of your message to start a conversation with Bing in the group chat.
That’s it; you can now use the voice call giant to communicate with the New Bing ChatGPT!
Upon request, Bing can also summarise group chats and make restaurant recommendations for you and your pals. Not to mention, you can download the Skype applications from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store to use the service on Android and iOS.
Users of Bing can ask the chatbot queries or request information by using the voice search option. With a straightforward voice or text command, it will be able to reply with potential travel locations, weather reports, and hotel names and price lists, assisting users with chores like planning their upcoming vacation.
Users of Skype can rely on Bing to spice up conversations with peers by sharing poetry, jokes, quizzes, and other content. They can even suggest that the bot compose a song using the data they provided in their request.
