Hi Everyone,
The latest Skype Insider build 8.104 was fully released and this is what we were working on.
What’s new?
Unveiling Bing's AI-Powered Tone Rewrites in Skype!
Get ready to take your chat game to a whole new level! Our latest update brings Bing's AI magic into your Skype chat composer, making every message a masterpiece.
Feel the power of AI-driven creativity and never settle for dull messages again!
- Rewrite As You Write: As you start typing, we’ll offer you smarter, snappier, or more formal rewrites—your choice. Bye-bye, writer's block!
- Dynamic Overlay: Select a tone—be it Professional, Casual, or even Witty—and watch your words transform instantly in a pop-up overlay.
- Real-Time Progress: No more guessing! Our overlay includes a spinner and progress sentences, keeping you updated every step of the rewrite process.
- Actions in Overlay: Change your mind? No problem! Our overlay allows you to:
- Change Tone: Switch between different tone categories.
- Copy: Send the rewritten text to your clipboard.
- Update: Replace your original text with the chosen rewrite.
- Cancel: Go back to your original text.
- Empty State: When there's nothing in the composer, we keep it clean, no distractions. But if Bing has a suggestion, it'll pop back up once you start typing.
