Once you have received access to the ChatGPT on Bing, you can also use it directly on the Edge browser. However, this feature is currently only available on the dev build of Microsoft Edge. Fortunately, users can download the Beta, Dev, and Canary versions of the browser from the Microsoft Edge Insider Page.
The update will likely make its way to the beta version first and then finally be released on the global build. Until then, users can download the Dev Channel build to check out ChatGPT on Edge. Once you have downloaded the correct version of Edge, go to the Bing sidebar and select the Discover icon in the top right.
Users can then access Bing chat directly from the Discover tab and complete their tasks side by side. Microsoft has also showcased how the AI chatbot can be used on LinkedIn and other social media websites as a writing aid.
