3 Best Ways to Use Bing ChatGPT

You’ve probably heard the buzz when Bing Chat first came out following the launch of ChatGPT—it was all anyone could talk about. What started as a basic AI chatbot has since had a major glow-up. Now rebranded as Copilot, it’s integrated directly into Microsoft Edge and offers far more than just casual conversation. From summarizing PDFs and assisting with writing to helping you code, research, and plan your tasks, it’s become a powerful productivity tool. If you're looking to get started or curious about how it works, you're in the right place—because in this article, I’ll walk you through how to use Bing ChatGPT (now Copilot) to its full potential.

What are the Key Benefits of Bing ChatGPT?

Bing ChatGPT is Microsoft's AI-powered chatbot that integrates OpenAI’s advanced language model—GPT-4—directly into the Bing search engine and Microsoft Edge browser. It enhances traditional search by combining conversational AI with real-time web access, offering up-to-date answers, summaries, and suggestions. This tool bridges the gap between search engines and AI assistants by providing accurate, conversational responses backed by live search results.

Core Features

• Live Web Access: Bing ChatGPT is always connected to the internet, meaning it gives you up-to-the-minute search results and answers, perfect for finding current news or product comparisons.

• Conversational Responses: It chats with you in a more human-like way, answering follow-up questions and offering detailed explanations, which traditional search engines can't do.

• Citations and Sources: The tool includes direct links to sources, so you can easily check where the information comes from and dive deeper if needed.

• Visual Results: In addition to text, it can pull in images, charts, and videos to make your search more engaging and informative

Advantages

• Free Access to GPT-4 Technology

You get to use GPT-4 for free, which is typically behind a paywall in other platforms, making it an affordable option for users who want advanced AI.

• Real-Time Web Search

Since Bing ChatGPT is connected to the web, it pulls in the latest info, making it ideal for looking up current events or getting up-to-date answers on just about anything.

• Transparency with Source Citations

Bing ChatGPT provides links to the sources it uses, so you can easily verify its answers and explore more on the topic.

• Multimedia Integration

Whether you’re researching, shopping, or creating content, Bing Chat can deliver not just text answers but also relevant images, videos, and charts to make things clearer.

• Seamless Integration with Microsoft Edge

If you’re using Microsoft Edge, Bing ChatGPT is right there in the sidebar to help with summarizing web pages, generating content, or even drafting emails while you browse.

How to Use Bing ChatGPT Effectively

To get the most out of Bing ChatGPT, it's important to approach it with precision. Rather than asking broad questions like “Tell me about marketing,” try framing your queries with more detail, such as “Summarize 3 popular marketing trends in 2025 for beginners.” The more specific you are, the more relevant and useful the response will be.

As you continue to interact with the tool, you'll get a feel for how to craft effective prompts, making the experience more like working with a highly efficient assistant than simply talking to a chatbot. Here's how you can begin using Bing ChatGPT effectively.

Since Bing’s ChatGPT has been rebranded to Microsoft Copilot, many users face confusion when searching for it, leading to incorrect results. Here’s how you can use it for free:

Step 1: Open your browser and go to the Bing search engine, which now hosts Microsoft Copilot.

Step 2: Look for the "Copilot" icon in the taskbar and click on it to open Microsoft Copilot.

Step 3: Microsoft Copilot will open in a new tab. Here, you can use the chatbox to type in your queries, attach images or datasheets for more detailed responses.

Tip: For a more seamless experience, use the Microsoft Edge browser. From there, you can easily access Microsoft Copilot by simply clicking on the "Copilot" icon in the top-right taskbar.

These steps allow you to start using Bing ChatGPT (Microsoft Copilot) for office work, college assignments, or any other daily tasks. The choice is completely yours!

Step 1: Research and Information Gathering

Once you have access to Bing Chat, you can begin your research right away. It simplifies the process by allowing you to ask questions directly or even just type what’s on your mind. Bing Chat uses its AI capabilities to respond with accurate, up-to-date answers, backed by real-time search results, thanks to its integration with the Bing search engine.

Step 1: First, open Bing Chat in your browser to begin your research.

Step 2: Once Bing Chat is open, take a moment to explain your assignment in detail. This helps Bing understand the context of your research and generate more relevant responses. Here’s an example of a prompt you can use:

Prompt: "I need help with a research assignment on [insert your research topic here]. My task is to analyze [insert your research questions here]. Specifically, I’m focusing on [insert your research focus here] to gain deeper insights and gather relevant information for my work."

You can modify this prompt by replacing the placeholders with your specific assignment details.

Step 3: Now that Bing Chat understands your task, you can enter specific prompts to guide your research. Here are two versions of the prompt you requested:

Prompt: "Can you provide an overview of the topic [insert your research topic here]? I’m interested in understanding the key factors, benefits, and challenges associated with it. Additionally, can you suggest credible sources or studies that I can reference in my research?"

Tip: To enhance the depth of your research, don't hesitate to use follow-up questions suggested by Copilot. These can be incredibly targeted and help you dig deeper into your topic.

Step 4: To dive deeper into your research, searching for research articles from credible journals and other sources is a great way to learn more about the topic. Try using the following prompt:

Prompt: "Can you provide any case studies or articles on [insert your research topic here] from credible sources?"

Pro Tip: To save your research, you’ll need a writing app where you can paste the information from Bing Chat, along with all the sources and links. During my research, I used WPS Writer to store all my documents. Not only is it easy to use for formatting my research, but it’s also completely free, just like Bing Chat.

Step 2: Content Drafting and Rewriting

Once we have completed our research, let's move on to the most lengthy part of the research, which is to compile our research data from the literature review, where we got help from Bing Chat, and create a draft with the help of Bing Chat to speed up the process fourfold.

Step 1: To begin, let's request Copilot to generate a structured outline for the research topic. A simple prompt can be used to guide this process.

Prompt: "Can you create an outline for a research paper on [insert your research topic here]? Please include sections for the introduction, literature review, methodology, analysis, conclusion, and recommendations."

Step 2: With a clear outline in place, the next step is to ask Bing Chat to help compile relevant research for each section of the paper. This ensures that each heading is backed by solid data and analysis.

Prompt: "Can you help me compile the research I’ve gathered for the [specific section, e.g., Literature Review, Methodology] on [insert research topic here]? Please organize the information based on the outline and highlight key insights."

Step 3: While using AI tools, there might be limitations, and you may not receive the entire draft in one response. To overcome this, repeat the prompt for each section of your research to generate a more complete and comprehensive draft.

Step 4: Once your draft is finalized, transfer it to a dedicated document in WPS Writer for better organization and further editing. Simply click the "Copy" icon located next to each response, then paste the content into your WPS Writer document.

Pro Tip: Saving your draft in WPS Writer ensures you have an editable offline version of your work. Additionally, with the WPS Office mobile application, you can conveniently review and refine your draft anytime, anywhere—enhancing your workflow flexibility.

Step 3: Data Analysis Assistance

A research project is only considered complete when it is backed by meaningful qualitative and quantitative data. While Bing Chat has been incredibly helpful with qualitative data, let's now explore if it can be equally effective in assisting with the analysis of the quantitative data we've gathered for our research.

I currently have a dataset, which I mentioned during my research, from different suppliers working on different channels. So, let's use this dataset and take help from Bing Chat to analyze it.

Step 1: First, open your Excel sheet on WPS Spreadsheet and clearly define what you want to analyze from the dataset.

Step 2: Next, head back to Bing Chat, click on the "+" icon in the chatbox, and then select "Upload". This will allow you to upload your dataset directly to Bing Chat.

Step 3: Once your dataset is uploaded, enter a prompt asking Bing Chat to analyze it and provide insights. Here's an example prompt:

Prompt: "I have uploaded a dataset with sales data from different suppliers working across various channels. Can you help me analyze the following aspects?

• The distribution of gross margins across suppliers.

• The relationship between discount rates and sales performance.

• Which suppliers are performing best in each channel (online, retail, etc.)?

Please provide insights based on the data."

Step 4: Once Bing Chat has analyzed the dataset, you may want to extract some specific Excel formulas to calculate key metrics or perform further analysis. You can prompt Bing Chat to help you with that. Here's an example of how to ask for Excel formulas:

Prompt: "Based on the analysis of the dataset, can you provide Excel formulas for the following calculations?

• A formula to calculate the average gross margin for each supplier.

• A formula to calculate the correlation between discount rates and sales performance.

• A formula to filter suppliers with the highest sales performance in each channel (online, retail, etc.)."

Step 5: Once Bing Chat generates the formulas, you can refine or clarify any aspects of the calculations. If you need additional formulas or further details, simply ask for them.

Pro Tip: These Excel formulas and functions can also be used in WPS Spreadsheet to perform advanced data analysis. WPS Spreadsheet is fully compatible with Excel functions, so you can apply the same formulas to analyze your dataset, calculate key metrics, and even create sophisticated reports, just like you would in Excel. It’s a great tool for handling complex data analysis tasks, and it’s free to use, making it a fantastic alternative for those who don’t have access to Microsoft Excel.

Using Bing Chat for research provided a practical and efficient solution, offering accurate data analysis and content refinement. While the responses could be more detailed at times, refining the prompts helped yield better results. With some learning, you can gain deeper insights and improve the overall quality of your research.

Additionally, utilizing tools like WPS Office makes the experience much smoother. It helped me compile data during the initial quantitative research, document my findings, and then provided the tools and functions needed to perform advanced data analysis. WPS Office ensures smooth management and formatting of your work, making the entire research process more efficient and streamlined.
