Bard can now connect to your Google apps and services
that is correct. Bard can now connect to your Google apps and services, such as Gmail, Docs, Drive, Maps, YouTube, and Google Flights and hotels. This allows Bard to find and show you relevant information from the Google tools you use, even when the information you need is across multiple apps and services.
For example, if you ask Bard to help you plan a trip, it can access your Google Flights and hotels reservations to suggest a possible itinerary. Or, if you ask Bard to help you write a report, it can access your Google Docs and Drive files to find relevant information.
To connect Bard to your Google apps and services, simply sign in to Bard with your Google Account. Once you are signed in, Bard will be able to access the information you have stored in your Google apps and services.
Here are some examples of how you can use Bard's new ability to connect to your Google apps and services:
Ask Bard to summarize your upcoming meetings from your Google Calendar.
Ask Bard to help you write a blog post using information from your Google Drive files.
Ask Bard to generate a list of potential customers from your Gmail contacts.
Ask Bard to help you plan a trip using your Google Flights and hotels reservations.
Ask Bard to create a presentation using information from your Google Slides and Drive files.
Bard is still under development, but the ability to connect to Google apps and services is a powerful new feature that makes Bard even more useful.
