Bard Extensions – Are what, exactly?
Bard is Google’s slightly dumber version of ChatGPT
Unlike the original free version of ChatGPT, Bard is connected to internet
Extensions take Google’s use of the internet one step further
By connecting Bard to 5 these different apps:
Google Flights
@flights
Pull in real-time flight info for intuitive, personalized travel planning
Google Hotels
@hotels
Search hotels based on what’s important to you, the same way you’d talk to a friend
Google Maps
@maps
Tap into location-based information to bring your plans to life
YouTube
@youtube
Discover and learn from YouTube videos in your Bard conversations
Google Workspace
@gmail, @drive, @docs
Summarize, find, and get quick answers from your own content to fuel your personal journey
Bard Extensions – Help you do, what, exactly?
How does this extension help you? Why should you use it?
In some cases, it could save you a lot of time
Instead of searching these apps multiple times to answer one question
You can just ask Bard the question using normal or natural human language
We’ll use the @flights and @drive extension to demonstrate
Let’s go!
That’s it! Some notes…
Once you’re connected, don’t need to use the @words to direct Bard
Trust but verify
Bard can be inaccurate, and wildly so, especially for @gmail searches
But Josh, what are some examples of @youtube, @maps, and @gmail?
Great question!
I got nothing! @flights @hotels are really it so far for me
I would love to hear your ideas or discoveries in the comments!
That’s it (for reals this time)!
