-: 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 in 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 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 like 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.
(laughs) 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 see 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.
Bard: Sure.
Here are the additional details about
the image in Mandarin.
(speaking in foreign language)
-: 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's 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.
Bard: Sure.
Here are the additional details about the
image in Spanish.
(speaking in foreign language)
-: 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.
