Last month, Microsoft launched its new Bing Chat Enterprise service in preview for commercial customers. The company has announced on the Microsoft 365 Admin Center that the Bing Chat Enterprise service plan will be available for Microsoft 365 subscribers next month.
Bing Chat Enterprise is an AI-powered chatbot that offers business-focused data privacy and governance controls. It provides a high level of protection for organizations with security and privacy concerns. The chatbot is designed to ensure that sensitive corporate data remains secure within the organization.
According to Microsoft, Bing Chat Enterprise provides relevant and detailed responses based on current information. For instance, employees can ask questions about internal documents, create product sheets, as well as write code.
“Just like Bing Chat, Bing Chat Enterprise is grounded in web data and provides complete, verifiable answers with citations, along with visual answers that include graphs, charts and images, and is designed in line with our AI principles,” Microsoft explained.
Later this month, Microsoft plans to enable Bing Chat Enterprise by default for commercial customers. As part of the rollout, the company will update Microsoft 365 subscriptions with the new Bing Chat Enterprise service plan. This release will let employees access the chatbot when signed into Bing.com/chat and Microsoft Edge with work accounts. The service plan will also enable IT admins to control access to Bing Chat Enterprise at the user level.
The new Bing Chat Enterprise service plan will begin rolling out to organizations with a Microsoft 365 subscription in early September. Meanwhile, IT admins can choose to opt out of Bing Chat Enterprise before it’s enabled by default in late August, and you can find more details on this support page.
