Bard Gains New Features Like Email Summarization and Images in Conversations, Expanding Beyond Web Search

Bard can now summarize multiple emails at once using the new Workspace extension for Gmail. Just activate the extension and give Bard a command.

Bard's summarization abilities stem from improvements to Google's PaLM 2 AI model. This helps you quickly find key info in your inbox.

Bard's capabilities expanded last month beyond just searching the web. It can now scan Gmail, Docs, Drive.

Images are now displayed in Bard's shared conversations, not just text. This provides a more visual experience.

Bard is gaining new features like code generation and a "Memory" mode. It's becoming a versatile AI chatbot.
