Bing Chat Enterprise: Differences to Bing Chat

Compared to Bing Chat, in Microsoft Bing Chat Enterprise, user and business data is protected and chat data is not saved. Microsoft has no eye-on access to data, and chat data is not used to train the underlying models.

Employees using Microsoft Bing Chat Enterprise sign in to https://www.bing.com/chat or https://copilot.microsoft.com with their work accounts. While Bing Chat Enterprise aims to match consumer features, it initially lacks support for chat history and plugin integration. In the meantime, Bing Image Creator, Visual Search in Chat and the Bing mobile app became available.
