Arr, me hearties! Methinks we be addin' the Bard AI to Google's Messages app, so it may assist us scurvy dogs in talkin', translatin', and suggestin' ideas durin' our jolly day-to-day chatter. Har, har!
Google’s experimental AI chatbot, Bard, may be coming to the Google Messages app in the future. This chatbot promises to bring major upgrades to phone-based chats. Assembler Debug, a tipster, uncovered this feature in the beta code of the Google Messages app. Bard can help write text messages, arrange dates, and even craft messages calling in sick to your boss. It could also help translate conversations, identify images, provide book recommendations, and offer recipe ideas.The app is believed to use location data and past chat information to generate accurate replies. Users can provide feedback to Bard's response and help the AI learn by giving a thumbs up or down, copying, forwarding, or favoriting its answers. However, conversations with Bard in the Messages app are not end-to-end encrypted or treated as private, so it's recommended to avoid sending personal or sensitive messages through the app when Bard is enabled.
The inclusion of Bard AI in the Messages app reminds us of the past project Google Allo, which incorporated Google Assistant. Bard integration could be a way for Google to continue the features of Allo. Bard mentioned that it might become available with Google RCS messages in the future. The integration of AI into messaging apps reflects the eagerness of companies to infuse AI technologies into smartphones. Google has already implemented AI tools in its phones with features like Magic Eraser or Live Translate.
Although Bard’s inclusion in Google's messaging app is not yet available, the implications of AI in messages are intriguing. It is uncertain whether a thoughtful reply or a fantastic date idea was thought up by a human or their AI assistant. The future of Bard in the Messages app is still unclear, and we'll have to wait to see how it will change the app.
