Google Assistant to Integrate Bard, Enhancing Capabilities Beyond Simple Queries
Summary:
Google is integrating Bard, its AI chat service, into Google Assistant, with plans to expand Assistant's abilities beyond answering simple queries. Bard, designed to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, can perform tasks like generating cover letters, creating code, and answering complex questions. Google showcased the integration at its event, Made by Google, noting that with user permission, Bard Assistant will be able to access emails, plan trips, write documents, and compose text messages. While an exact release date is not yet confirmed, testing is currently underway.
Google Assistant is set to integrate Bard, Google's artificial intelligence chat service, into its functions, as indicated by an October 4 message from the development team on social media. Anticipating the unveiling of Google's ambitious vision to craft the world's premier personal assistant, the team also invited users to sample Bard's capabilities.
Google Assistant, an AI utility powered by Google home devices such as Nest Mini or Nest Hub, can also be accessed on Android smartphones and tablets. Comparatively, Bard, the web-based AI chat software from Google, is designed to rival OpenAI's ChatGPT. Bard's newer and broader suite of abilities includes tasks such as resume cover letter generation, programming, essay writing, solving intricate historical or mathematical queries, and executing many other advanced tasks based on user inputs, outperforming the Google Assistant's current capacity of only answering simple inquiries.
In its recent event called Made by Google on the same day of the announcement, Google presented an overview of the upcoming upgrade. As ZDNet reports, once given permission, Bard Assistant could delve into a user's email, organize and report on its content. Furthermore, it could organize vacations, craft documents through Google Docs, and even compose SMS texts. The Assistant's capability also extends to processing image inputs to generate corresponding captions. While the exact release date remains undisclosed, Google disclosed that Bard Assistant is currently under testing.
Steadily rolling out AI enhancements to level up against competitors like OpenAI and Microsoft, Google launched Bard on May 10 in specified countries. Despite the rigorous AI regulations in the EU, Bard was extended to EU states on July 14. Even with such strides, Bard still undergoes improvements, as evident in the missteps Cointelegraph found in June, where Bard wrongly recommends non-existent hotels.
