-: Google's Bard just entered the field
with some extremely powerful innovation.
Now Bard is accessible in up to 230 countries
and in addition to that, Bard speaks up to 30 languages.
So not only can you input your mother tongue
into Google's Bard,
it can also respond to you and your mother tongue.
In addition to that, Google's Bard is able
to actually speak its responses out loud.
So for those of you who prefer
to have your answers read out loud to you,
now the time has come for you to use Bard
and get exactly what you want.
So we're gonna get started with how
to access Bard from any normal browser.
I've decided to use Google Chrome,
because I'm using Google's Bard.
So inherently, it seems a little bit more efficient.
And the disclaimer on this choice,
I was using Safari and I had difficulty seeing
Bard's responses even though it was responding.
And when I logged into Chrome, I could see its responses
and I'm not sure if it was an error
on Safari's part or that my browser was outdated,
but I would highly suggest using Google Chrome
when using a Google product.
So first, we'll type in Google
and it'll take us to Google.
And right here, you can see it says to try Bard.
But what I'm gonna do is go to the normal Google page
so that everyone can get there in the same way and fashion.
From the normal Google page, type in Bard
and the first link will come up, bard.google.com.
Now when you get to Bard, it'll come up just like this,
except your chats won't be pinned on the side just yet.
Notice that when you highlight a chat,
you can unpin it,
you can pin it
and when you pin it, it allows you to change the title.
Another thing is that you can go here
and you can hide your menu.
Small updates, but those are recent updates about Bard.
If we look at the bottom of the screen here,
you'll see the area to enter your prompt,
the area to use the microphone to speak to Bard
and the area to upload your files.
With Bard, you can use JPEGs, PNGs and WebPs.
Not as many files as Claude 2, however,
Bard allows you to upload JPEGs while Claude 2 does not.
One thing to note is that you will need
a Google account in order to use Bard.
So if you don't have one, create a Google account first
and then go to Google and then go to Bard
and connect your accounts.
So one of the first things I'm gonna show about Bard today
is its ability to analyze photographs
and give information about that photograph.
Considering that Bard uses JPEGs,
and a lot of the other programs
are not able to use JPEGs yet,
this is a special feature
that you would have to go to Bard for.
Now you come down to the upload file section,
click upload file and whatever file you're searching for,
you'll be able to pull it directly from your finder
or your file section, if you've got a PC
or something that's not a Mac.
After you've uploaded the photo,
it gives you the option to still type in your prompt.
Now we can see here, this is the photo that I've uploaded.
Let's pretend that I don't know anything about it
and follow through with my prompt to see what Bard says.
The prompt, tell me about this photo and the history of it.
I'm going to have it on the wall during my business meeting
with a Chinese client and I'd like him to know
I respect and care about his culture.
This is Bard's response.
The image you sent me is a painting of Guanyin,
the Buddhist goddess of mercy, riding a dragon.
It is a common depiction of Guanyin and her Chinese art
and has a rich history.
All of this is just Bard telling me information
based off of the prompt that I've put in.
I'm getting details, not only about the entity in the photo,
but all of the aspects that are in the photo
and how they relate to Chinese culture.
I think this is absolutely fantastic.
We'll continue on and see what it says.
Bard thinks the painting I sent is beautiful.
It's a traditional depiction of Guanyin riding a dragon.
It would be a great way to show your client
that you respect and care about his culture.
The image would also be a good conversation starter
and it could help you build a nice rapport with your client.
Here's some additional details about the image.
The woman in the painting is weighing a white robe,
which is a symbol of purity and enlightenment.
She's holding a lotus flower in her right hand,
which is a symbol of purity and rebirth.
The dragon is green,
which is a symbol of growth and prosperity.
The painting is set against a backdrop of clouds,
which represents the heavens,
and it tells me it hopes this information is helpful.
Now if we look at the details in this photograph,
I think it's actually amazing
that it was able to pick out the dragon,
her white clothes, the cloud backdrop
and all those other details, including what's in her hand.
And if I scroll down to my next response
based off of Bard's response to my first prompt, I say here,
now translate those additional details into Mandarin
and let me hear you speak them
to ensure that I've got the best possible pronunciation.
We're gonna go up to the top right corner of this box
where you see this microphone.
We're gonna click Listen
and we can hear Bard speak the English,
what's written in English,
and the Mandarin, what's written in Mandarin.
-: Sure, here are the additional details
about the image in Mandarin.
(speaking in Mandarin)
(continues speaking in Mandarin)
-: It may not be the authentic Mandarin
that you would hear someone in the country speak.
However, it does a great job at pronunciating
all of the different words in both English and Mandarin.
And just for the example of other languages,
I'm gonna ask it to translate
this same information into Spanish.
You'll notice when Bard is generating its response,
it doesn't type it out
like a lot of the other programs does.
This little star right here will just circle around
and you'll have to be patient and then bam,
it'll pop out its answer.
So here we go.
It's translated everything into Espanol,
and I'm gonna click Listen again
so we can hear just a short example
of what Bard does with the Spanish.
-: Sure, here are the additional details
about the image in Spanish.
(speaking in Spanish)
(continues speaking in Spanish)
-: And that is just an example of what Bard can do
with its responses out loud
and how it can manage multiple different languages
and how it can analyze a photograph
and pull information out of it,
relevant to the task at hand for you.
