JAKARTA - Along with the launch of the Bing Chat widget for Android and iOS users, Microsoft is also bringing a reshuffle to its smart keyboard app, SwiftKey.

This time, the company integrated the Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered Bing into SwiftKey so that users can easily find and chat with Bing from within their favorite mobile app.

"Today we are excited to expand this ability to include the Writing feature in SwiftKey, which will now create a draft text for you according to the parameters you suggest not only subject matter but also tones, formats, and message lengths," Microsoft said in its official blog, quoted Wednesday, May 17.

Users can also create documents and other administrative tasks with the Writing or Compose feature. Where they can write emails to service providers asking for a solution to a problem, as well as quickly editing emails in draft to make sure the details are correct, then users can send the email.

Starting today, users can click on the Bing icon on the ribbon on the SwiftKey keyboard. The feature will be available to all users on Android and iOS in the next two weeks, also available on desktop via the Edge.

The translator is also present at SwiftKey, users can click the Bing icon on the ribbon on the SwiftKey keyboard. From there, click Translated, and users can choose the language to translate to and from, including translations in any language Bing supports.

Type or paste the text, then it will drop the translated text directly into the messaging field for the sender. The plan, next week this feature will be available on Android and iOS for users around the world.

Not only that, users are also given the ability to change the tone or refraction their messages before sending them.

The two new Nadas were presented by the Redmond giant, the US, namely Witty and Funny. With this AI-powered feature, users can compose the right messages, in appropriate tones for everything, from fiddling with funny one-liners to compiling important work email from scratch.

This SwiftKey update indicates Microsoft is serious about responding to user feedback asking for the keyboard app not to be turned off

In 2022, after years without an update, SwiftKey's keyboard was removed from Apple's App Store's online store. But now, the company canceled the plan and brought a lot of AI features into it.
