Whats coming to Bard?
Bardis Googles AI chatbot, most similar toMicrosofts Bing Chat.
Google announced alotof new updates to its big venture into consumer-facing AI.
Bard now has a dark theme (this announcement generated alotof applause).
It also works in Gmail and Google Docs.
Even better, Lens is coming to Bard, so you might analyze any photo with AI.
When you search with Bard, youll be able to add new data columns to your results.
Then, you’re free to ask it to move the whole result to Sheets.
Bard integration might prove pretty useful when working in Google apps.
In Sheets, the Help me organize prompt can create detailed tables based on a simple sentence.
It analyzes a Google Doc and offers suggestions for where to go next.
It can read an entire email thread, and summarize whats going on.
(We dont want to get stuck with suggestions based onhallucinations.)
Finally, Sidekick in Slides lets you do things like automatically create speaker notes on a slideshow.
That lets you chat with the AI to get you closer to the result you want.
Its very reminiscent of Microsofts Bing Chat.
