Google Should Revive Google Wave to Supercharge Its Bard AI Platform

A Look Back at Google Wave's Collaboration and Productivity Features Could Enhance Bard

A synergy of Bard and a reimagined Google Wave could facilitate seamless collaboration. Imagine a scenario where Google Bard assists in coordinating tasks, taking meeting minutes, and prioritizing group activities. As you converse, Bard could recommend scheduling Google Meet calls for in-depth discussions, set up minutes-tracking documents, and transcribe discussions. These documents could then be shared via a ‘Wave,’ ensuring everyone involved in a project stays informed.

This integration would not only set Bard apart but also unify multiple Google apps into a single ecosystem. Adobe’s Firefly AI serves as an example, aiding creatives in tasks ranging from color palette selection to overcoming creative blocks. Google can draw inspiration from Wave and merge Bard with its suite of apps for a more seamless experience.

AI should be a tool to enhance, not replace, human capabilities. While concerns about AI abound, history shows that new technologies have often elicited unwarranted fear, from the advent of videotapes to the iPhone.
