Windows Copilot Preview Adds Bing Chat Enterprise Support

Microsoft has started rolling support for Bing Chat Enterprise in the Windows Copilot Preview. The new experience will let eligible commercial customers access Bing Chat Enterprise right from the Windows Copilot panel, though you’ll need to be on the Windows Insider Dev Channel. Some Insiders on the Beta Channel may also get access to it, the Windows Insider team said today.

Bing Chat Enterprise is already available for Microsoft 365 commercial customers on bing.com and the Edge sidebar, though the feature currently needs to be enabled by IT admins. Compared to the regular version of Bing Chat, the Enterprise version provides enhanced commercial data protection. In practice, chat history is disabled, Microsoft doesn’t retain prompts and responses, and the company doesn’t use them to train its large language models either.

“For your employees, the experience will be very similar to the existing experience with Bing Chat – the branding changes to reflect Bing Chat Enterprise, and there is a reminder with each prompt that personal and corporate data is protected,” the Windows Insider team explained.

With the Windows Copilot Preview, Windows 11 will get a new AI assistant that provides access to Bing Chat and the Microsoft 365 Copilot right from the desktop. Soon, Windows Copilot will also be able to talk to third-party services thanks to plugins, something that ChatGPT already supports.

Windows Copilot is expected to ship to all Windows 11 users later this fall with the 23H2 update for the OS, which is currently being tested with Insiders on the Beta Channel. On September 22, Microsoft will be holding an event to discuss its latest AI innovations, and we’ll likely hear more on Windows Copilot on this occasion.
