Everything ’s coming up Copilot — including Bing .
Today atMicrosoft Ignite 2023 , the company renamedBing Chat , the AI - powered chatbot it launch on Bing earlier this year , to Copilot in Bing . Meanwhile , the premium , corporate - focused reading of Bing Chat , which was previously calledBing Chat Enterprise , has also been rebranded to Copilot .
Why the name changes ? Not to cause confusion , Microsoft swears — despite the fact that the ship’s company now has roughly a dozen product that share theCopilotbrand .
“ rename ‘ Bing Chat endeavour ’ to ‘ Copilot ’ reflects our vision to create a unified Copilot experience for consumer and commercial-grade client , ” Caitlin Roulston , theater director of communication at Microsoft , told TechCrunch via electronic mail .
That makes sense . But it could be , also , that Bing Chat did n’t move the phonograph needle much for Bing — and so Microsoft ’s looking to divorce the technical school from the hunt engine that launched it . An Augustreportfrom StatCounter found that Bing failed to take any marketplace contribution from Google six month after Bing Chat set in motion ; Microsoft has scrap the determination .
“ Copilot will update the commercial-grade term and conditions on December 1 to reflect that it ’s a generally available product from Microsoft , ” she added . “ As part of this , it will inherit Microsoft ’s universal license terms for online services … Over meter , Microsoft will expand eligibility of co-pilot with commercial-grade information shelter to even more Entra ID users at no extra cost . ”
