Did you know Microsoft Follows In Google’s Footsteps With New Copilot Search Mode

 

We recently heard about Google working on a new AI Mode for Search and we’re not surprised that other tech companies are following suit.

Software giant Microsoft is also taking inspiration from the Android maker and preparing to do something very similar with the latest Bing Copilot Search mode. This is giving rise to a new Generative AI tech that we first saw roll out in early last year.

The combination of Bing with AI search summaries that are based on Copilot might be genius when we see that’s exactly what Google is trying to produce for AI Overviews on Search. The latter is already out there for audiences to use.

Microsoft is adding this latest Copilot Search variant for its Bing. Thanks to Windows Latest, we got more insights on how Bing is now displaying search results produced by Copilot on the whole page. Summaries of users’ queries are displayed on most of the page and it also features backlinks to various sources inside summaries.  

The feature links out to different pictures and video search results and gives users the chance to add queries to the page’s bottom. This feature is quite similar to the Deep Search feature on Bing Copilot. The only difference now is that it has a more streamlined UI that gets rid of classic links on the internet as a whole but doesn’t leave Bing completely as the dedicated Copilot feature does.

The feature is currently live in the US and Copilot Search is popping up alongside a new overflow menu with different search filters. The latest interface is also shown to be up for grabs without pressing on more tabs. 

So you can say that this interface is very much like Google’s AI Mode trials that were shared during this month’s start. The search engine giant’s is only being tested by the company on an internal level. Meanwhile, Microsoft did share that it was testing the latest AI search mode but failed to delineate how many audiences can benefit from it.
