Google's Bard gets important updates increasing productivity

Google’s artificial intelligence-based chatbot Bard is now available in Ukrainian. The chatbot helps to get clear answers to questions.

The user formulates a query, and Bard collects the most relevant information from the Internet. Requests can be made both in text and by voice through a microphone.

Bard about itself

No one can tell you more about a new chatbot than it can tell you about itself, because it is an artificial intelligence. That’s why we asked a simple question:

“WHAT CAN BARD DO?”

This is what the chatbot answered:

“I’m Bard, a large language model (LLM) from Google AI trained on a huge amount of text data. I can generate text, translate languages, write different types of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. I am still under development, but I have learned to perform many types of tasks, among others:

  • I will make every effort to follow your instructions and requests carefully.
  • I will use my knowledge to answer your questions in a comprehensive and informative way, even if they are open-ended, complex, or strange.
  • I will generate a variety of creative text formats such as poems, code, scripts, musical pieces, emails, letters, etc. I will do my best to fulfill all your requirements.

I can’t do everything, but I’m always learning new things. If you have any questions or requests, don’t hesitate to ask.”

Big update

Today, Google announced the biggest expansion of Bard to date. The tool is now available in most countries and in the most common languages. We’re also launching new features to help you better customize your experience, boost your creativity, and achieve more.

You can now interact with Bard in more than 40 languages, including Ukrainian, Arabic, Chinese, German, and Spanish. You can also now access Bard in many locations, including in Europe, including Ukraine.

As part of its approach to artificial intelligence, Google has been actively collaborating with experts, policymakers, and regulators on this expansion. And as Bard becomes available in new regions and languages, the company will continue to follow its AI Principles, consider user feedback, and take steps to protect privacy and personal data.

More personalized answers

Google is rolling out new updates to make Bard query results more relevant to your needs:

  1. Listen to the answers. Sometimes hearing something out loud can help you approach your idea in a different way. That’s why starting today, you can hear Bard’s answers. This is especially useful if you want to hear the correct pronunciation of a word or listen to a poem or script. Simply type in your question and select the sound icon to hear the answers from Bard. This feature is now available in more than 40 languages.
  2. Easy customization of Bard answers. You can now change the tone and style of Bard’s answers to five different options: simple, long, short, professional, or normal. For example, you can ask Bard to help you compile a list of vintage armchair offerings on the market and then shorten the answer with a drop-down list. This feature is available in English and will soon be available for more languages.

Increase your productivity

Four new Bard features are also launching today to help you get more done:

  • Pin and rename conversations. Now, when you start a conversation, you’ll see options in the sidebar to pin, rename, and select recent conversations. For example, if you ask Bard to help you compare outdoor sports activities in the summer, you can review those tips later.
  • More opportunities to export code. Google continues to see interest in using Bard for programming. So today they’re adding a new feature that lets you export Python code to Replit (in addition to Google Colab).
  • Share your answers with your friends. The developer has also made it easier to share part or all of a Bard chat within your network. With the help of share links, you can share your ideas and creations with others.
  • Use images in your queries. At I/O, Google announced that it is bringing the power of Google Lens to Bard. If you need more information about an image or need inspiration for writing text to go with an image, such as a thank you for a gift, you can now upload an image with your query and Bard will analyze the photo to help. This feature is now available in English and will soon expand to more languages.

So the next time you have an idea, a full concept, or just need to brainstorm, give Bard a try. Not only will you find the tools to bring that idea to life, but you may also discover completely new ideas.
