Bard integration set to enhance Google Assistant with AI capabilities; significant improvement anticipated
Google Assistant has recently undergone numerous changes. Shortly after announcing significant layoffs that impacted numerous employees in the Bay area, the company has now disclosed the removal of 17 features from Google Assistant, primarily due to their lack of usage. Nevertheless, Google’s transformation is not yet complete. In fact, it may soon receive a revitalization with the integration of its AI chatbot Bard into Google Assistant, resulting in an AI makeover. Stay informed about what lies ahead.
Google Assistant – Bard integration
According to the Google News Telegram channel, Google Assistant with Bard could be just around the corner. According to reports, the deployment is planned for March. Google has reportedly created a special page for the Pixel Tips app that showcases the features of the Google Assistant integrated into Bard. However, it is not yet available to users. We couldn’t find the page, but the shared video also has a demo of the Google Assistant interface in action. It is said to run on the new Gemini family of Large Language Models (LLM) that Google announced last year.
According to the report, the Bard-compatible Google Assistant can be invoked in the same way as the existing version – by saying “Hey Google” or by double-tapping the side buttons. 9to5Google previously reported that the Bard-enabled Google Assistant displays the following welcome message:
“You can still say ‘Hey Google’ for hands-free help. I’m learning some classic Assistant features, but I already know a lot.”
After waking up, the Bard-compatible Google Assistant reportedly has three input methods:
1. Enter the query using the keyboard.
2. Speak the survey in your voice.
3. Add a picture and fill it with a survey.
Google announced that it was bringing Bard to Google Assistant last year. However, no details have been revealed so far and only information about it has surfaced thanks to leaks.
