Google has been working on a new version of its Assistant with Bard. Bard is a large language model (LLM) that can generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way.

Google announced last year that Bard will be integrated with Google Assistant for Android phones. This means that you will be able to use Bard to do all of the things that you can do with Google Assistant now, plus a whole lot more.

While an official release date is still unknown, developer Dylan Roussel has offered a glimpse into Assistant with Bard’s interface. 

Sneak peek into Google Assistant with Bard

We can see that it’s designed to be straightforward, with a setup screen explaining how Bard works and the data it accesses. You can even connect your Google apps for a more personalized experience, similar to how extensions work in the current Bard web app.

After you finish up the setup, you can tap the arrow icon on the popup and you’ll be presented with a full interface offering helpful suggestions or letting you type your questions and prompts.

You can also open Assistant on top of any app, tap “Add this screen,” and ask questions directly related to what you’re seeing. And yes, the familiar “Hey Google” hot word still works for seamless access.

For those who prefer the classic Assistant experience, you will be able to easily switch back. And for tech enthusiasts, Bard’s interface offers access to extensions that will allow it to tap into external data sources, broadening its capabilities.

In a nutshell, Google Assistant with Bard is about adding text-based capabilities to your existing voice assistant. While it’s still under development, we now have an understanding that the voice assistant can also handle more complex tasks and interactions.
