5 Top ChatGPT Alternatives & When to Use Them

Users with a Google account can sign and use the chatbot to converse with the AI tool to create a variety of content, from writing an email, giving you feedback on a piece of content, creating marketing content and more. It uses information from the internet to generate content.

Bing AI
Bing AI was built by Microsoft. It was actually built using the GPT-4 technology created by OpenAI (the creator of Chat-GPT), which means it has similar capabilities. However, Microsoft’s plan has been to use Bing AI alongside their search results to provide you with more information about your searches, and allow you to change your searches in a more conversational way to find more accurate responses. Microsoft recently integrated the chat bot with DALL-E, which enables you to submit text-based prompts to receive images in response.
If you’re looking for specific information online, Bing AI may be a very useful resource for you. It’s available in the Bing search results page (near the search bar), as well as when using the Edge web browser. For other purposes, like creating content on scale, you may want to look for another AI chatbot or tool.
