Google’s Bard chatbot can now find answers in your Gmail, Docs, Drive

Sep 19, 2023 - theverge.com
Google's Bard AI chatbot has been upgraded to scan Gmail, Docs, and Drive to assist users in finding information. The new integration allows Bard to perform tasks such as summarizing email content or highlighting key points in a document. This feature, currently available only in English, is designed to save users from having to manually search through numerous emails or documents. Google assures that the information accessed by Bard will not be used to train its public model or be viewed by human reviewers.

In addition to Gmail, Docs, and Drive, Bard can also connect with Maps, YouTube, and Google Flights, enabling it to pull real-time flight information, find nearby attractions, and surface YouTube videos on specific topics. Other improvements to Bard include a "Google It" button that allows users to verify Bard's answers through Google Search. Google is also adding a feature to continue a conversation with Bard based on a shared link.

Key takeaways:

  • Google's Bard AI chatbot can now scan your Gmail, Docs, and Drive to help find information, with the ability to summarize emails or highlight important points in documents.
  • The feature is currently only available in English and requires user opt-in, with the ability to disable it at any time.
