The "creative" Bing conversation style will start an "original and imaginative" chat, while the "precise" one will give you a "concise and straightforward" chat. The "balanced" chat lands right in the middle with an "informative and friendly" user experience.
Type your questions in the search bar at the bottom of the screen. When Bing answers, you can like or dislike the response, share the answer, or copy it.
