  • Google is improving Bard with the introduction of PaLM 2.
  • Bard will soon be getting visual-oriented responses to questions and other small improvements.
  • Google also plans plenty of new extensions and integrations, both in-house and via partners.

AI has come a long way in a very short time, largely thanks to ChatGPT. Of course, that’s far from the only option out there. One of its would-be competitors is Google Bard, but up until now, it required you to go through a few hoops to try it out. That changes today.

At Google I/O 2023, Google announced Bard is now available for anyone to try. Previously Bard was only available by invite, and in just the US and UK. The new and improved Bard is rolling out to 180 countries and has added Korean and Japanese language support, with 40 more languages coming in the near future.
