Microsoft fusing AI chatbot into search engine

Introduction

Hi everyone,

Welcome! It's great to see all of you in Seattle in person. Today, we're excited to show you some of the innovations that are set to reshape the largest software category on planet Earth, which I've personally been working on for a long time – search.

A New Era in Search Technology

We want to discuss how this innovation is going to reshape search. Imagine asking for a very accurate and comprehensive answer that tells you where to go, such as a 3-day itinerary which includes various sites in Malaga. It signifies a new day and a new paradigm in search technology. Rapid innovation is ahead, and indeed, a race begins today in what you can expect from search engines.

For us, bringing out new features every day is paramount. Most importantly, we're excited to revisit the innovation within search, because it’s high time for change.

Unleashing the Power of AI

This technology is set to reinvent pretty much every software category we know. Think back to the web. We've had at least three very distinct platform shifts that have shaped it. The web was born on the PC and server, then evolved with mobile and cloud. Now, the critical question is: How is AI going to reshape the web?

Conversational Intelligent Agents

You'll witness some of this excitement today. We believe in two emerging trends: conversational intelligent agents and a broad integration of AI. These agents will become ubiquitous, mediating all computer interactions. They will function as co-pilots across every application canvas, within operating system shells, and browsers.

You should try this feature when you get access.

Here's an example:

• It recommends some hotels and provides a rich answer with a map.

Stay tuned for more amazing advancements.
