It is pertinent to note that Wong has previously shared updates about chatGPT-parent, and OpenAI’s plans to introduce a “Beta features” page for Plus users, and the information was 100% accurate.
Why It’s Important: Last month, Microsoft empowered Bing and Edge browser users with several features, including multimedia search capabilities, the ability to retain chat history during web browsing, seamless conversation sharing and export options, and the convenience of “actions” for assistance.
