In a recent blog post, Microsoft announced a new feature for Bing Chat, called Visual Search. With Visual Search, you can upload an image or select an existing image on the web, and Bing will try to understand it and use that context in responses.

Use smart identification of image content to recognize celebrities, find products, or search for related content. Bing Visual Search automatically identifies the type of picture, recognizing image context whether it is a barcode, a business card, or a product.

Bing’s Visual Search will soon allow users to copy and search for text captured with a smartphone camera. For example, it will be possible to: Take a photo of a phone number to make a call Add an email address as a contact Navigate to a URL Get directions to a physical address Copy and paste text into the search bar
