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. 🎨
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.
Feel the power of AI-driven creativity and never settle for dull messages again! 🌟
