- [Instructor] You have the Edge browser installed and you're familiar with the Bing chat interface let's start streamlining our work. Now, you can come over here on the top right hand side click Bing and start typing your questions here or click insights to gain some insights about the current website that you're on. But you can also use Bing chat using the entire screen real estate area. And to do that, just point the Edge browser to bing.com. This is going to take you to the root site of Bing, the search engine and from here you can click chat at the top of the screen. It's the same interface, it just takes up the entire screen and that's something that you may be more comfortable with. So these first set of examples I want to give you are ways to use Bing chat as a glorified search engine. Why scroll through pages of search results to find the right website to answer your question when Bing chat can do all that work for you. So you can ask it straight up factual questions to help you during your workday. If it's 3:00 PM in Los Angeles, what time is it in Dubai? Maybe I'm planning a meeting. There we go. Here's my answer. Now, any time I can click the broom icon to sweep the topic up and start a brand new topic. This means the answer won't have any context to do with the last question that I asked of it. So let's start with something fresh. I might need to brush up on some accounting skills for an upcoming meeting, so I'll ask it, what is the double entry system of accounting? Here's my answer, and I wanted to show you this example because sometimes you still don't understand exactly what it's telling you, and that's fine. You can ask Bing chat to clarify it or tell you it in a different way. Now, because I'm on question one of 30 and I'm not starting a new topic the next thing that I type can be related to this answer. So I'm going to ask Bing chat to explain that like I'm five years old. Now I understand. I could take it one step further and ask for a good starter book I could read to learn more about this. Now I'm asking for this example because I want to show you that at any time you can click stop responding. If it's taking too long or it's typed out an answer and you've gotten all you need from that answer you can click stop responding and it's going to instantly stop. So you can move on. I'm going to click new topic, and over the course of my day there's some more things I might want to know. I might want to ask my manager if we can get our employees together for a yearly event. My manager might need some good examples of why we should do this. So I'm going to be ready with some facts. I also purposely spelled beneficial wrong because I wanted to show you that you can just start typing and Bing chat is smart enough to still recognize what you're asking. Here's some great examples. I can take these and bring them to my boss. Let's do a few more. What are good ideas to send as thank you gifts to a good client. It's even sent me some images, that's great, but I might need some more ideas. Now I'm on question two out of 30. We're still relating to this chat so I can ask it to give me some more ideas. In fact, I'll say, give me three more ideas. There we go. It's very helpful. And at any time if I want to remember any of our previous chats, they're up here on the right hand side so I can come back and see what they are.
