Earlier this month, I covered a “big” press event Microsoft held announcing some new features and removing the waitlist for Bing Chat. Yesterday afternoon, Bing announced that these features are now rolling out, some are live, and some will be live within a week or two. I already covered it a couple of weeks ago […]
