Google has a generative AI-enhanced version of Assistant

Google

Google has unveiled a new feature for its Assistant that uses generative AI to provide personalized assistance to users. Assistant with Bard, which was announced at the Made by Google event along with new Pixel 8 and Pixel Watch 2 devices, can help you with various tasks such as planning your next trip, finding details in your email inbox, and creating a grocery list.

Assistant with Bard works seamlessly with some of Google’s existing apps, such as Gmail and Docs, to help you find and summarize information. You can also interact with the tool through text, voice, or images, and it will still offer some of Assistant’s key features that allow you to do things like send a text message.

One of the examples of what the tool can do is to create a caption for a photo you want to post on social media. You can simply ask Assistant with Bard to generate a caption while floating the Bard overlay on top of the photo. The tool can also come up with relevant hashtags to match the image, as shown in the demo above.

Google says you can choose your individual privacy settings for Assistant with Bard. But the tool is not available yet. Google is rolling it out to early testers "soon" before it arrives on Android and iOS "in the coming months."
