🔍 Skill Up - Use Google Bard to test Google’s language model connected to the internet

In our last post, we reviewed the latest AI releases by Google, featuring Google Bard, which is free and web-connected. To access Google Bard, just click here.

To test its capabilities, particularly its ability to source up-to-date information from the web, you can use the following prompts:

1. Conduct a brief competitive analysis for [Product/Service] in [Industry]. Include each competitors latest funding date and round size.

2. Analyze the current market trends for [Product/Service] in [Region/Industry].

3. What are the main features and license type of this project [Github project URL].

Take note, Bard has exhibited tendencies to hallucinate, but improvements are expected in the coming weeks with the integration of their new model PaLM-2. Just try to ask it what it knows about yourself and see the results.

Also, here’s a nice comparison between ChatGPT and Bard.
