oogle just spruced up its Bard AI chatbot, and now it’s like a YouTube pro! In the recent update log for their experimental features, Google spilled the beans on how Bard’s YouTube extension got a major boost. Now, this smarty-pants AI can actually “understand some video content.” Fancy, right?
So, picture this: you’re watching a video on how to make an olive oil cake, and you can hit up Bard and ask how many eggs are needed. Cool, huh? But wait, there’s more! If you’re into DIY stuff, you can throw questions at Bard about the specific tools in those handy DIY videos. And foodies, listen up! Bard might spill the beans on where those restaurants in food review videos are or dish out the deets on where a particular cuisine originated.
Now, rewind a bit to September when Bard first got cozy with YouTube. Back then, it could pull data from the platform and mingle with other Google goodies like Docs, Maps, Lens, Flights, and Hotels. But here’s the kicker: it couldn’t really understand what was going on in the videos or give you the lowdown on the nitty-gritty details. Google caught wind of users wanting more from their YouTube experience, so they dropped this update to make Bard a YouTube whiz.
According to Google, this is just the beginning of Bard’s YouTube journey. They’re teasing us with the idea that Bard might get even better at analyzing videos in the future.
