How to Enable Bing AI in Microsoft Edge

Hello everyone…

I’m interested in using Bing AI and was wondering how to enable it in Microsoft Edge. I’ve heard that it’s integrated into the browser, but I’m not sure how to activate or access it.

Can someone provide a step-by-step guide or explain the process to enable Bing AI in Edge? Any tips or troubleshooting advice would also be appreciated :wink:
