AI chatbots like Bing chat are able to address more complex questions that a traditional search on the World Wide Web doesn't address, also impacting how users interact with ads and online content. However, this approach is reportedly designed to provide more value and opportunity for publishers because it drives users to learn more from the original sources through links and citations.

Buying guides and review summaries highlight products based on relevant and popular information from across the web, meaning it's different from product advertisements that pop up in a traditional search.

When you enter shopping queries like "college supplies" on the Bing homepage you'll received an AI-generated buying guide that gives you recommendations of what a college student might need, product suggestions, and comparisons of similar products including details like specs and prices. Buying guides source information from articles, blogs, reviews, and product descriptions from across the web.

If you're already shopping around for a specific product on Edge, you can open Bing chat to get information about which aspects to consider and a summary of reviews from users. In the demo video, Bing chat cheerfully writes, "Welcome back! I see you are shopping for noise-cancelling headphones." Whether this is an official nod to the infamous Clippy assistant is unclear, but it definitely feels like an evolved version of its predecessor.

Microsoft has partnered with U.S. retailers that offer price-match policies, so if the price drops after you've bought something, Microsoft can help you get your money back.

Buying guides are available in the U.S. as of today, and review summaries are available today worldwide. Price matching will roll out to users in the U.S. soon.
