Google’s large language model (LLM), Bard, is a powerful chatbot that is capable of writing poems, solving puzzles, providing travel advice and more. The app is easy to use – all you need to do is start typing. However, to get the best out of Bard, there are some tips and tricks to consider.
To make sure Bard produces the desired output, edit the prompt by clicking on the pencil icon next to the prompt. You can also see variations on Bard’s response by clicking on the “View other drafts” drop-down menu. To get the best out of the app, provide the bot with ample information. For example, you can finish a tagline for an art studio, rather than generate the entire tagline on its own.
Furthermore, you can use Bard as a conversational tool. Ask the bot to explain or refine its ideas or have it role play two friends discussing a certain topic.
Bard can go beyond writing as it is able to absorb the text within web articles. This can come in handy when summarizing lengthy articles or simplifying complex topics. It can also be used to compare two news reports or product reviews.
Moreover, Bard can be assisted with the addition of specifics. For instance, when looking for activity ideas for a certain city, provide Bard with information like how many people are going and how old they are. It can also help come up with recipes by providing information like the cooking time, number of people for and available ingredients.
Additionally, you can use Bard in rewriting existing texts. Tell Bard to change the tone, increase/decrease word count, adapt emails to letters or translate texts into different languages. Bard can also be used with spreadsheets to help generate formulas and understand programs like Excel.
Finally, Google Bard can produce better answers than searching a query on Google. For popular searches, the app can offer concise responses while still providing value to users. However, note that factual inaccuracies can slip in, so it is important to double-check the sources.
