You can actually use Bing within ChatGPT and even vice versa. So keep reading as this guide shows you methods for the same.

How to Use Microsoft Bing Inside ChatGPT

We will begin by using Bing search inside ChatGPT. Don’t worry, as there aren’t any complex steps involved. Just follow the process below, and you’re all set.

Step 1: Buy a ChatGPT Plus Subscription
