The launch is an important step for Alphabet Inc as it seeks to expand its presence in the AI space. The company has been investing heavily in AI research and development and has made significant progress in developing machine learning algorithms and natural language processing technologies that can be used to power chatbots like Bard.

Bard additionally had a feature that displayed three distinct versions or “draughts” of any given answer, which users could toggle between, as well as a button that said “Google it” if a user wanted web results for a request.
“Bard is designed so that you can easily visit Search to check its responses or explore sources across the web. Click “Google it” to see suggestions for queries, and Search will open in a new tab so you can find relevant results and dig deeper. We’ll also be thoughtfully integrating LLMs into Search in a deeper way — more to come,” the company added.
