Google has introduced "Assistant with Bard," a digital assistant powered by generative AI. This new assistant aims to provide a more intuitive, intelligent, and personalized experience for users by extending beyond voice commands to handle tasks through text, voice, and images. Google Assistant, which has been used for seven years, has primarily operated through voice commands, assisting users with tasks like setting alarms and checking the weather. With generative AI, Google seeks to take digital assistants to the next level, enabling them to better understand and adapt to users' needs.
Assistant with Bard offers multi-modal interaction, allowing users to engage with it through text, voice, and images. This digital assistant is designed to handle a wide range of tasks, such as trip planning, email management, creating lists, and sending messages. One notable feature of Assistant with Bard is its integration with existing Google services like Gmail and Docs, streamlining tasks related to emails and documents.
This new assistant will be accessible on Android and iOS mobile devices in the coming months. Google is working to ensure contextual assistance on Android devices. For instance, users can ask the assistant to help them create social media posts based on recently taken photos, which will take into account the content and context of the images. Google emphasizes user privacy and is committed to allowing users to customize their privacy settings to maintain control over their data.
Assistant with Bard is currently in an experimental phase and will be rolled out to early testers soon. A wider public release is expected in the coming months. This development represents Google's effort to provide a more versatile and personalized digital assistant to simplify daily tasks and interactions with devices.
