It appears bots will soon be integrated into Bing search results, and this news will likely be announced next week at Build, an annual Microsoft developer conference taking place this year May 10-12 in Seattle.
Multiple news outlets are reporting from anonymous sources that bots are coming to Bing, but verification can be found in the Build schedule, which includes a session titled "Chatbots on Bing.com." The session invites developers to "learn how chatbots enhance the Bing experience and how you can add your custom bots to Bing.com."
MSPoweruser describes how the bots will show up at the bottom of the screen, similar to Facebook Messenger's experience, and that Microsoft, third-party developers, and businesses will be able to integrate bots into Bing. Infobot, a bot that draws on the corpus of wikipedia.org knowledge, is among the initial bots and will appear when people ask questions.
