Google Assistant is set to incorporate Google's AI chat service, Bard, into its responses soon, according to an announcement from the development team. Bard, a browser-based AI chat program, is designed to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT. Unlike Google Assistant, Bard can perform complex tasks such as generating cover letters, creating computer code, and answering detailed questions about history or math. The integration will enable Google Assistant to access a user's email (with permission), plan vacations, write documents using Google Docs, compose SMS text messages, and more. Google did not provide an exact release date but mentioned that the integration is currently being tested.
Google Assistant to Integrate Bard AI Chat Service for Enhanced Responses
Google Assistant is gearing up to incorporate Google's AI chat service, Bard, into its responses, as announced by the development team. Bard, a browser-based AI chat program developed by Google to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT, offers capabilities beyond the standard responses of Google Assistant. It can perform complex tasks, including generating cover letters, creating computer code, and answering detailed questions about history or math. Google's presentation at the Made by Google event further highlighted the new upgrade, revealing that Bard Assistant would gain access to a user's email with permission, allowing it to sort through the email account and report on its contents. Additionally, Bard Assistant will be capable of planning vacations, writing documents using Google Docs, composing SMS text messages, and accepting images as input to generate captions. While Google did not specify an exact release date, it mentioned that the integration is currently in the testing phase.
