Full definition

Bing Copilot (historically associated with Bing Chat) blends web search retrieval with large language model generation. Users receive conversational answers, often with source links, and can refine questions without leaving the search or browser context.

It is a practical answer-engine surface for brands monitoring Microsoft’s ecosystem—especially where Edge, Windows, or workplace defaults route users to Bing. Visibility patterns can diverge from Google AI Overviews and from OpenAI ChatGPT.

Optimization foundations remain crawlable, accurate pages and clear entities; Bing’s indexing and ranking still influence what retrieval can find. See Copilot, Answer Engine, and Citation.
