Microsoft’s Bing search engine gained a supercharged upgrade earlier this year thanks to ChatGPT integration. The new feature means you can enjoy longer, more detailed responses without phrasing your query in a specific way.
Our own Calvin Wankhede recently tried Bing Chat on mobile, which arrives with voice functionality. He declared that he wouldn’t be going back to Google Assistant as a result. We used his article to find out whether readers would switch from Assistant to Bing. Here’s what you told us in this poll.
Would you ditch Google Assistant for Bing?
Results
Over 1,700 votes were cast in this poll, and it turns out many of you aren’t as attached to Google Assistant as I thought. 42.1% of surveyed readers said they’d switch from Assistant to Bing Chat right away for their voice assistant needs.
Meanwhile, 29.1% of respondents said they would switch from Assistant to Bing if it comes to smart speakers. In other words, these people clearly like the idea of Bing Chat but need it on more devices.
Finally, 28.7% of polled readers said they’re still happy with Google Assistant. Google’s smart concierge is able to do a few things that Bing Chat can’t, such as controlling smart home gadgets. So we can see why these users would still be happy with the older service.
In other words, just over 70% of respondents are willing to switch from Assistant to Bing in some capacity. This certainly suggests that Microsoft has a hit on its hands. But the company will need to work hard to expand availability and add new features if it hopes to steal Google and Apple’s voice assistant thunder.
