Bard can now connect to your Google apps and services

Sep 19, 2023 - blog.google
Google is enhancing its AI tool, Bard, to integrate with Google apps and services, providing more tailored responses to user queries. The new Bard Extensions allows users to access information from Gmail, Docs, Drive, Google Maps, YouTube, and Google Flights within a single conversation. For instance, users can plan a trip by asking Bard to fetch dates from Gmail, check real-time flight and hotel information, and even watch YouTube videos of the destination.

In addition to this, Bard now includes a "Google it" feature to verify its responses, and it allows users to build on shared conversations. Google is also expanding access to existing English language features to more than 40 languages. The improvements are due to updates to the PaLM 2 model, which uses reinforcement learning techniques to make the AI more intuitive and imaginative.

  • Bard, an AI collaboration tool, has been updated to integrate with Google apps and services, providing more helpful responses and allowing users to access features in more places.
  • Bard Extensions have been launched, enabling Bard to find and display relevant information from Google tools such as Gmail, Docs, Drive, Google Maps, YouTube, and Google Flights and hotels.
