Google Bard Is Getting More Sophisticated, Chatbots Can Now Speak And Analysis Images

JAKARTA - Google again challenged its competitors by adding Bard's new capabilities. Now, the chatbot can provide a response in the form of sound.

Users can use audio to listen to Bard's response, which the company says is useful for users if they want to hear the correct words or listen to poetry and scripts.

"Just enter the prompt and select the voice icon to listen to Bard's answer," Google said in its official blog, quoted Friday, July 14.

This feature can be used in more than 40 languages, including Indonesian. Bard can also answer in a different voice depending on the tone that users want, including simple, long, short, professional, or relaxed.

"For example, you can ask Bard to help you write a list of markets for antique seats, then shorten the response using drop-downs," Google said.

However, the feature is only available in English and will soon be extended to new languages. Responses from Bard are also now easier to share with friends or other people via links.

At the Google I/O 2023 event yesterday, the company announced Google Lens integration into a Bard that users can use to upload images with clues.

Then, chatbot will analyze photos to help users get information from the image.

In addition, Google also added a new way to embed and change the name of the conversation with Bard. Now that the user is starting the conversation, they will see an option to embed, change the name, and take the latest conversation in the video.

Another new feature for coding is also presented by Google. Users can export Python codes to Replit, in addition to Google Colab.
