Microsoft has announced that it is bringing Bing AI to SwiftKey, a third-party on-screen keyboard for Android.

The integration allows users to access and chat with Bing AI to get answers or it can be used in what Microsoft calls “tone” mode, where it can rewrite and clean up texts.

The bot is currently limited to the beta version of SwiftKey, which can be downloaded on Google's Play Store.

As spotted by The Verge, Microsoft’s CTO of mobile and commerce, Pedram Rezaei, confirmed that the feature “was slowly rolling out” and invited everyone to check out the beta on the Play Store.

Did we just add major AI functionality to @SwiftKey? Slowly rolling out. Get yourself onto the Beta channel to taste the future.

So far, Microsoft has not confirmed when the integration will show up on iOS.

The Redmond-based technology giant had dropped support for the iOS version of SwiftKey last year, but after fan demand, brought it back.
