TL; DR
- Microsoft has introduced Bing Chat integration into the SwiftKey Keyboard app.
- This integration provides both AI chatbot functionality and Tone feature.
- This feature is only available in the beta version of the Android app for now.
We thought Bing Chat integration could be the killer app for the Surface Duo 3, and we also urged Microsoft to bring it to SwiftKey Keyboard. It turns out we didn’t have to wait long for that wish to come true, as Microsoft has already brought an AI chatbot to its Android keyboard app.
the edge Spotted Bing Chat integration in the latest SwiftKey beta, allowing users to access a chatbot while in any app.
The integration takes the form of two options, the first being the familiar chat option. This allows you to ask a wide variety of queries using natural language, from simple web search queries to creating travel itineraries and more. The experience looks similar to Bing Chat on the Bing app, so those expecting something different may be disappointed.

The second option as part of the Bing Chat integration is the “Tone” functionality. This feature allows you to highlight or copy text, with Bing Chat later outputting color changes of your choosing. In other words, if you want your email or WhatsApp draft to look more professional, informal, or polite, this is a useful tool.
SwiftKey’s Bing Chat integration is slowly moving to the beta version of the app on Android, according to Microsoft Microsoft Executive. So you may have to wait a little while if you don’t see her yet. Then again, we imagine there are a lot of people who would prefer Gboard and other keyboard apps instead. But these users can always launch the Bing app to use Bing Chat.
