(b)As part of this shared plugin platform, Bing is adding to its support for plugins and will be the default search experience for ChatGPT. In addition to previously announced plugins for OpenTable and Wolfram Alpha, Microsoft will also have Instacart, Kayak, Klarna, Redfin and Zillow, among many others in the Bing ecosystem.
II. Announcing new plugin capabilities within Microsoft’s Copilot ecosystem:
Microsoft Copilot will be getting plugin support, providing developers the ability to extend AI-powered experiences across a variety of Microsoft apps and services. Now in limited preview, developers can use plugins to bring their data and code into Microsoft 365 Copilot, to act, and to operate – and interoperate – with other applications and system software. Additionally, Microsoft 365 Copilot will be natively integrated into Microsoft Edge.
