Skype is introducing Bing in 1:1 chats on all platforms

Skype’s newest Insider build brought new features to the platform. Android users will now have a new Camera experience, that will allow them to take pictures with just a click, and then edit them inside the platform.

The build also came with a new and improved Call screen, which has a lot of new features, including an intuitive focus mode.

And speaking of intuition, Skype is integrating Bing in 1:1 Skype chats with the release of the new build, according to the platform’s latest blog post.

The AI assistant will be available for 1:1 Skype chats on all the Skype versions out there: from desktop to mobile.
