Toss a coin to the Witcher

Google announced in a blog post that its chatbot is now available in over 40 languages, including Arabic, Chinese, German, Hindi, and Spanish and is launching in Brazil and “across Europe.”

At the same time, the company is launching more features. It’s now possible to listen to responses, making for an almost Google Assistant-like experience when you use the voice input option to converse with Bard. The big difference to Assistant is that you have to hit a sound icon to start listening, so it's not (yet) as seamless as the good old voice assistant.

The other exciting launch is the addition of Google Lens. It’s now possible to import images to the chatbot, which you can combine with written prompts to get help from Bard. The feature is only available in English for now, but Google says it’s coming to more languages soon.

Google gives five different options: simple, long, short, professional, and casual. This is supposed to make it easier for the chatbot to generate content, this might make it easier to get the right style without manually prompting the language model to create text in a certain way.

Google Bard now offers a sidebar where you can easily access past conversations, and they can be renamed them to properly match the topic or keyword of your choice. You can also pin the most important conversations to the top.

Coders can export generated Python code to Replit, joining the ranks of Google Colab. For those who want to share the Bard conversations they have with others, there is now the option to create shareable links. You can share all or parts of a conversation with Bard this way.
