Plug-ins support interoperability, Microsoft and OpenAI work together to create a new environment of chat robot plug-ins

CTOnews.com, May 23, Microsoft announced today at its annual Build developer conference that it will use the same open standards as OpenAI to develop plug-ins for its Bing chat and Copilot platform. This means that these plug-ins will be able to communicate between Bing chat, Copilot platform and OpenAI's chatbot ChatGPT.

This is another important move to deepen cooperation between Microsoft and OpenAI. Earlier this year, Microsoft expanded its partnership with OpenAI with a "multibillion-dollar" investment and launched Bing chat based on OpenAI's GPT-4 technology a few weeks later.

Plug-ins are important ways for chatbots such as Bing chat and ChatGPT to expand their capabilities and access new sources of information. OpenAI has supported ChatGPT plug-ins since March this year, and Microsoft is now committed to supporting the same open standards, which will provide developers and users with more possibilities to build and use plug-ins across platforms.

In addition to plug-in interoperability, Microsoft announced a series of new features related to artificial intelligence at Build, including Copilot applications on Windows 11, artificial intelligence improvements in Microsoft Store, plug-ins on the Microsoft 365Copilot platform and some artificial intelligence features for developers, which can be found in more reports on CTOnews.com.
