Google Bard gets another update that makes it better for research

Description:
Bard can help you conduct research minus the clutter with new updates that 
make it much more useful.

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

Bard, Googles answer to ChatGPT, is a friendlier chatbot that has gone 
through quite the glow-up recently. A few new updates could make it the 
perfect tool to use when writing long papers or conducting academic research. 

The bot was the star of the show at this year's Google I/O event , with a 
host of new features announced - features that will hopefully take Bard out 
of the field of mediocrity and up to the big leagues of ChatGPT and 
Microsofts Bing Chat . Now, with these experimental updates, Bard could 
become the research partner you need for your next big project. 

At the time of writing, weve already seen a few of the new updates presented 
at Google I/O rolled out to Bards live build, including easy exports to Docs 
and Gmail, using Bard in Google Workspace, and - something this writer is 
very grateful for - a dark mode. The more exciting image integration and 
generative capabilities that we previously covered will come later.
 Bard just keeps getting better 

On the official experimental updates page , we can see a quick summary of the 
new features thatll take your plans off the ground. 

According to the page, Bard will now be able to give more concise summaries, 
which could be especially helpful when youre looking to get to the core of a 
topic quickly. Itll also help you identify which parts of a response match a 
source. So rather than just getting a list of sources at the end of a lengthy 
response, youll see footnote-style number tags alongside each response which, 
when clicked, will identify the section of text that matches the source, and 
let you easily navigate to it. 

So if youre writing an essay on a topic that requires very specific knowledge 
or detailed citations, you can quickly head over to the websites Bard links 
and find out more about your chosen topic. Plus, you can verify that the 
citations are coming from credible sources - a potential pitfall when using 
AI tools for research since chatbots like Bard cant truly verify information 
in the real world. 

As we mentioned above, you can also now export big chunks of your chat with 
Bard to Google Docs and Gmail, so if youre working collaboratively you can 
send over summaries and explanations from Bard - now with new-and-improved 
sourcing - to your collaborators and work together in Docs without having to 
individually copy and paste the content Bard produces. 

I'm really happy to see Bard improve and get better with these changes, and I 
look forward to trying out the upcoming image-generation abilities very soon.
