The launch of ChatGPT, a chatbot from a startup OpenAI powered by Microsoft, last year sparked a race in the tech industry to put AI in the palms of more customers. The goal is to transform how people are working while also winning business.

Bard additionally had a feature that displayed three distinct versions or “draughts” of any given answer, which users could toggle between, as well as a button that said “Google it” if a user wanted web results for a request.

“Bard is designed so that you can easily visit Search to check its responses or explore sources across the web. Click “Google it” to see suggestions for queries, and Search will open in a new tab so you can find relevant results and dig deeper. We’ll also be thoughtfully integrating LLMs into Search in a deeper way — more to come,” the company added.

Google said it was focused on users and that internal and external testers have turned to Bard for “boosting their productivity, accelerating their ideas, really fueling their curiosity.”

We’re releasing it initially with our lightweight model version of LaMDA. This much smaller model requires significantly less computing power, enabling us to scale to more users, allowing for more feedback,” Google CEO Sundar Pichai wrote in a blog post last month.
