As Google forays into the competitive AI space with Bard, the time might be right to revisit one of its discontinued products, Google Wave, to set itself apart in this rapidly evolving landscape.
Google Wave, although discontinued in 2012, was far ahead of its time. It was designed to help users manage workloads and collaborate seamlessly, all within a familiar interface reminiscent of Gmail and Google Search. With today’s focus on productivity across operating systems like iOS 17, Android 14, and devices such as Google’s Fold, it’s essential for Google to leverage its past innovation.
Many AI platforms, including Grammarly and Spark Mail, have integrated into applications. However, Google could distinguish its Bard AI platform by reintroducing Google Wave.
