O chatbot da Google, o Bard, is officially released for Brazilian users. The Artificial Intelligence feature (IA) generativa was launched this Thursday, 13, after new update to the “Brazilian Portuguese” language. Until then, the tool was only available in the English version, contemplating the United States, UK and others 100 countries.
Update includes the release of Bard to others 40 languages like Arabic, German, Chinese, Spanish and Hindi. In this way, just like Brazil, more 27 European Union countries gained access to the tool. Another important update is that now users will also be able to repost the content and chats generated through a sharing link.
What is Bard and how does it work??
Bard is a chatbot, i.e., is a robot that talks based on artificial intelligence. Content and chats are created using machine learning techniques and neural networks using the LLM language model. That's why, the novelty is quite similar to its main competitor, o ChatGPT, chatbot option available since the end of last year.
Although, the big difference between the two tools is that Bard generates content based on information from Google. The OpenAI solution develops all information and texts through a database dated until 2021.
Something similar between the tools is that both allow you to fix, name and save conversations found in search. Although, the Bard provides a button that, after the mechanism response, takes the user to a Google search page. Like this, it is possible for the person to check and read more about the information or answer.
How to access Bard?
Using the tool is simple. To access it, simply open your computer or cell phone browser at bard.google.com. The page now opens in Portuguese, although, You need to log in with your Google account. After that, the user can now start exploring using the search button.
In addition to generating content and chats, Generative intelligence can summarize existing texts in Google search. Although, as soon as the user accesses the website, other possibilities for using the tool are suggested on the home screen, as:
- Create a study routine for exams
- Format citations according to ABNT standards
- List travel essentials
- How to start a podcast
Google claims to be an experiment
Nonetheless, Google continues to label the technology as a completely error-prone experiment. When opening the page, there is a warning about possible risks of false or meaningless answers during searches.
But, the company states that it continues working to correct these flaws through feedback that can be sent by users themselves. The Bard version in English has other features and integrations with other Google services that the Brazilian version does not yet have.
One of them is the possibility of quickly modifying responses through four personalized modes: shorter, longer, casual or professional. Another very practical option is integration with Google Lens. Like this, the tool allows you to generate content through image analysis.
