Save $20 a month with Google BARD AI
Chat GPT is no longer the undisputed king

Chat GPT 4 costs $20 per month. And Google BARD is FREE!
Now it's available worldwide with some huge updates:
• Internet browsing
• Code interpreter
• Image input
• Voice input
• Plugins
• Image answers
• Answer export
• Multiple drafts
Read on to find out how it can help you be more productive!

Internet browsing
BARD is connected to the internet! Yes, that means no cutoff date, unlike Chat GPT.
You can create web page summaries & get up-to-date information with fewer hallucinations. Epic!
Code interpreter
Chat GPT has a code interpreter which is still in ALPHA, but BARD has it open to everyone!
What can it do?
• Explain code
• Adapt code to guidelines
• Code conversion
• Bug hunt
• Annotation
• Code testing
Image input
Yes, multi-modal input is finally here! (before Chat GPT!)
This is huge!
Many ways to do this:
• Upload a link to a file-sharing service hosting the image
• Send the image as an email attachment
• Send the image as a text message
Voice input
Oh yes, you can now talk to BARD too. Just click on the mic button to start speaking. This makes writing long prompts a breeze.
Here I tell it to "Summarize your top 5 features"
Plugins

Now BARD has plugins as well.
Some notable ones:
• Indeed (jobs)
• replit (coding)
• TripAdvisor (travel)
• Walmart (e-commerce)
• Wolfram (mathematics)
• Spotify (music streaming)
• Uber Eats (food delivery)
• Adobe Firefly (image generation)
Image answers
BARD can now show images in its answers. You know what they say, a picture tells a thousand words!
Answer export
You can export your results into other Google apps like Docs or Gmail natively.
Multiple drafts
If you don't like an answer, you don't need to regenerate. Just look at one of the alternative drafts! BARD automatically creates 3 answers for every question you ask it. Smart!
