Google Bard is Google's answer to ChatGPT, but it's also different. The chatbot at this stage is an experiment that lets you do everything from planning a birthday party and drafting an email to answering questions on complex topics. It even lets you code and soon will feature an AI image generator thanks to Adobe.

Google is quick to point out some of Bard's responses may be inaccurate. Google sees it as a complementary experience to Google Search — which just got its own huge AI upgrade. Still, you'll see a "Google It" button next to responses when you use Bard that takes you to Search. 

Even better news, the Bard waitlist is gone. Initially, Google limited access to Bard AI but now the experimental AI is available in 180 countries and three languages. If you want to test it for yourself, check out our guide on how to use Google Bard.
