What is the use of the Bing Discover button?

The Bing Discover button is located in the upper-right corner of Microsoft Edge, which opens a flyout overlay that allows you to interact with Bing Chat AI in the same tab.

It has three tabs, Chat, Compose, and Insights. The Chat tab lets you interact with the chatbot on Bing.com.

The Compose tab can help you create different types of content formats. In the Write about box, you can mention the details and choose the tone, format, & length.

The Insights tab understands the web page context you are viewing and mentions its related information.

It is a valuable feature; however, not everybody wants a chatbot on their browser. If you are one of them and wish to turn it off, then move to the next section.
