After long months of waiting, the famous AI-powered conversational agent Google Bard has finally launched in France this Thursday, July 13, 2023. Available for free as an online service, it is revolutionizing the sector with its technological advancements and is set to be a major competitor against ChatGPT or Bing Chat. Here’s a look at the main features and innovations of this AI giant.
Real-time generated responses
One of the major innovations brought by Google Bard is its ability to generate responses in real time. Unlike previous versions that required completing the generation before displaying the response, Bard now allows users to get a preview of the response as it is being created. Thus, users save valuable time and can interact with greater fluidity during their discussions with the conversational agent.
An AI in constant evolution
The development of Google Bard is continually progressing: in autumn 2023, several notable improvements have been integrated. The AI can now access information from Google services and applications to deepen its responses, share an ongoing conversation with a colleague, or provide the sources used to generate its text. These advancements reflect the company’s commitment to continuously improving its product to satisfy the largest number of users.
Integration with Google Assistant
At the announcement of the Pixel 8, it was revealed that Google Bard would soon be integrated with Google Assistant. By combining the strengths of both entities, the capabilities of Google’s voice assistant will be greatly enhanced, thus ensuring an even more satisfactory and complete user experience.
Testing on different devices
According to information revealed by 9to5Google, tests are reportedly underway on Pixel generations equipped with Tensor chips as well as on Galaxy S23 devices. Thus, it seems clear that Google aims to maximize Bard’s features in the market, ensuring its sustainable and lasting success.
Specific innovations for emails and image sharing
With its October 2023 updates, Google Bard also made waves by introducing the ability to summarize multiple emails simultaneously. Users thus become more efficient when wanting to stay informed about received messages. Another new feature: if you send an image in a conversation shared with Google Bard, the AI can now display it. This adds an extra layer to the interactions between users and the conversational agent, further enhancing their quality.
Google Bard: an AI at the service of users
It goes without saying that Google Bard represents a major turning point in the field of artificial intelligence and deep learning. With its deployment in France and its many innovations, this conversational agent promises to improve communication with machines while offering an increasingly rich and complete user experience. Direct competitors, such as ChatGPT or Bing Chat, will need to double their efforts to keep up with this new technology that is likely to change the game. The future of conversational AI is now underway.
