Microsoft tests Bing image creator icon in Edge sidebar

Microsoft Edge has a Bing button in the upper right corner of the Edge browser to maximize productivity when you browse the internet. In addition to the new Bing button, Edge may have another useful tool to help you quickly insert images into whatever content you're editing. Microsoft is testing the Bing image creator icon in the Edge sidebar.

The Sidebar in Edge is currently home to many apps and useful tools, including the Outlook app, Drop, Microsoft 365, and more. When you open anything from the sidebar, it opens a small side panel on the right that helps get work done quickly without having to open a separate tab to access the tool. Microsoft's Mikhail Parakhin confirmed that the Bing image creator will also be coming to the sidebar in a future version of Edge.

You can already tell Bing to create images, and image generation capabilities have been improved in Bing Chat v98. But what Microsoft is currently testing is independent icons generated from images in Edge Sidebar. You can access it with just one click, allowing you to quickly generate images with the help of AI. However, Parakhin also said that if the dedicated image creator icon doesn't get a lot of usage, Microsoft will "move it behind the plus sign."

Clearly, Microsoft is quite aggressive in rolling out the new Bing to all of its services. The software giant recently started testing the new Bing on SwiftKey keyboard beta, making the chatbot easier to use. It also brings AI capabilities to other apps and services, including Skype and GitHub.
