Bard Gets a Major Update (Experiment updates 2023.07.13)

Google’s experimental conversational AI service, Bard, has received a major update, adding new features and expanding access to more languages and countries.
One of the most significant changes is the addition of Google Lens to Bard. This allows users to upload images alongside text in their conversations, opening up new possibilities for creativity and exploration. For example, you could use Google Lens to identify an object in an image and then ask Bard to write a poem about it, or to generate a code snippet that will create a 3D model of the object.
Another new feature is the ability to listen to Bard’s responses out loud. This is especially useful for people who prefer to consume information aurally, or who want to hear how their ideas sound when they’re spoken aloud.
Bard has also been updated with new ways to organize and share your conversations. You can now pin conversations, rename them, and have multiple conversations going at once. This makes it easier to keep track of your ideas and to collaborate with others on creative projects.
Finally, Bard now includes five new options for modifying its responses. You can now make Bard’s responses simpler, longer, shorter, more professional, or more casual. This gives you more control over the tone and style of your conversations with Bard.
These are just a few of the new features and updates that have been added to Bard. To learn more, visit the Bard website or sign up for the waitlist.
Here are some of the ways you can use the new Bard features:
- Use Google Lens to identify objects in images and ask Bard to generate creative content about them.
- Listen to Bard’s responses out loud to get a better sense of how they sound.
- Pin conversations and rename them to keep track of your ideas.
- Share your Bard conversations with others to collaborate on creative projects.
- Modify Bard’s responses to get the tone and style you want.
