What you need to know
SwiftKey for Android and iOS is being updated with support for composing messages using AI, extending the capabilities ofSwiftKey’s already integrated Bing Chat AI.Now, users will be able to draft longer texts using AI by providing more parameters, such as tone, context, format, and length.
Until now, the AI capabilities within SwiftKey were limited to the Bing Chat experience, most useful when browsing the web, but now you’ll be able to use Bing’s compose features directly within the SwiftKey keyboard experience, making replying to messages in WhatsApp or Teams a breeze.

For example, you can ask SwiftKey to reply to craft a message that includes “congratulating someone on a promotion and arranging to get together soon, in a casual tone” now that sentence alone isn’t something you can send, but punch it into SwiftKey’s AI compose mode, and it’ll generate an actual sentence or two that you can send:
“Hey, congrats on your promotion! You totally deserve it. I’m so happy for you. Let’s celebrate soon, okay? How about next weekend? We can go to that new place you’ve been wanting to try. Let me know what you think. Cheers!” -generated by Bing’s AI compose mode.
Microsoft is bringing AI to many of its products since Bing Chat first launched 100 days ago. In fact, the company just announced moreAI features for Edge mobileand the mobile Bing app, including anew Bing widget with AI built inand the ability for Bing Chat to analyze webpages within the Edge mobile client.
