This new integration is initially rolling out to ChatGPT Plus subscribers and will be made available to free users soon through a plugin that brings the Microsoft search engine to ChatGPT. Previously, ChatGPT relied on individual plugins to access recent information.
In addition to the integration, Microsoft is also introducing updates to new plugins. They are creating a single platform for developers to develop and submit plugins for ChatGPT, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and other services. Microsoft in-chat plugin options will expand to include companies like Expedia, Zillow, and Klarna, facilitating targeted communication on topics such as travel and shopping.
