One of the standout integrations is with Gmail, allowing Bard to access and analyze emails. Additionally, it can tap into data stored in Google Drive and Docs, enabling users to request information from their files or request content summaries. Bard can also fetch real-time data from Google Maps, Google’s travel features (covering hotels and flights), and YouTube. These extensions are enabled by default, although users have the option to disable them if desired.
One significant addition to Bard is the ability for users to fact-check its responses. If a user is unsure about a particular answer from the chatbot, they can click on a ‘Google It’ button, which retrieves additional information from Google search (where applicable). This feature empowers users to verify responses independently and cross-reference information with external sources.
