Bing Chat Enterprise brings secure, AI-powered chat to organizations by keeping commercial data protected. This addresses a key concern around consumer chat offerings like Bing Chat — that company data could be exposed. Bing Chat Enterprise provides managed access to AI within an organization’s data environment. While it’s rolling out in preview now, general availability is still to be determined. Pricing at $5 per user per month (or free for certain Microsoft 365 licenses) makes it accessible to many businesses. This has strong potential to bring AI assistance and conversation to business users, but the preview limitation means functionality could be limited initially.
