Google’s Upcoming Bard Memory Feature: What You Need To Know
ChatGPT competitor Google’s AI chatbot Bard could soon include a “Memory” feature that allows it to store important user data and settings. A look at Bard’s user interface, as seen by 9to5Google, suggests that this feature allows the AI chatbot to remember certain user-supplied information and use it to improve future interactions.
This means you don’t have to tell Bard your dietary choices or family size every time you ask for recipes or travel tips. Additionally, the report mentions that you can easily add new settings directly from the Memory page.
This page is also expected to provide the ability to delete inaccurate or unwanted memories. For privacy, there’s a switch on the left side of the screen that lets you easily disable Bard’s memory feature.
In related news, the US tech giant recently released a new version of its Bard generative AI chatbot. The new update enables the integration of the chatbot with Google applications and services, such as Gmail, Docs, Drive, Maps, YouTube and Google Flights and Hotels.
Google calls this version of Bard its most powerful model yet, and has improved the “Google it” feature to check the accuracy of Bard’s answers.
Citing an example, Google said you could apply for a new job and use Bard to help you in the process. “You can ask Bard to ‘find my resume titled June 2023 in my Drive and summarize it into a short paragraph personal statement’ and continue working on your new cover letter,” Google explained.
Regarding privacy issues, Google also clarified that when you use Google Bard’s Workspace extensions, auditors or Google employees cannot access or view your content from Google apps such as Gmail, Docs, and Drive. And Bard can’t use it to serve tailored ads or provide training
