FULL STORY
======================================================================

The AI chatbot race is well underway and companies are in a mad dash to shove 
quirky, sometimes snippy little chatbots into our lives as quickly as 
possible. ChatGPT burst through global consciousness and cemented itself as 
the chatbot to beat, quickly assimilated by Microsoft in its updated search 
engine, Bing . Not wanting to be left out, Google announced its AI champion, 
Bard, at an underwhelming launch event , followed by mixed messages and an 
obvious struggle to keep up. 

Its hard to keep track of what is really going on with Google Bard , but it 
seems like its public debut may finally be imminent. 

Some members of Googles Pixel Superfan program have apparently received an 
email offering them early access to Google Bard, spotted in a Reddit thread . 
In the invite below users can click on a link thatll ask them to verify their 
email address and hang tight until they follow up with further access 
instructions. 

The Superfan Program is for people passionate about Pixel and Google tech, 
and is essentially a free members community that allows people to engage with 
other fans, ask the Google team questions directly, get invited to special 
events, buy merch and more. (Image credit: u/mon205 via Reddit ) Invite Only 

The invite hammers home that not only is the selection random, but spaces are 
limited and the form will be closed off once early access capacity has been 
reached. So, if youre feeling a little left out dont worry; it wasnt 
personal. 

According to selected participants, once the form is filled out they are told 
that Google will get back to them with further instructions to allow users to 
get started as soon as Bard launches which could hopefully be soon. 

If you are in the Pixel Superfan program and havent received the invitation 
mail, youll probably have to wait for the public version of Bard with the 
rest of us. 

But if youre feeling as much FOMO as I am, you can sign up to become a 
Superfan at no cost and join the social private community. You probably wont 
get added to the list of Bard special guests, but youll be all setup and 
ready for the next big launch or event. All you have to do is fill out the 
survey provided and Google will get back to you.
