Video Transcription

• 00:00:13 Thanks, Sundar. Large language models have captured the world's  

• 00:00:17 imagination, changing how we think about the future of computing. 

• 00:00:21 We launched BARD as a limited access experiment  on a lightweight large language model to get 

• 00:00:27 feedback and iterate. And since then, the team has been working  

• 00:00:31 hard to make rapid improvements and launch them quickly. 

• 00:00:35 With Palm 2, BARD's math, logic, and reasoning  skills made a huge leap forward, underpinning 

• 00:00:42 its ability to help developers with programming. BARD can now collaborate on tasks like code  

• 00:00:49 generation, debugging, and explaining code snippets. 

• 00:00:53 BARD has already learned more than 20 programming  languages, including C++, Go, JavaScript, 

• 00:01:01 Python, Kotlin, and even Google Sheets functions. And we're thrilled to see that coding has quickly  

• 00:01:09 become one of the most popular things that people are doing with BARD. 

• 00:01:13 So let's take a look at an example. I've recently been learning chess, and for fun,  

• 00:01:19 I thought I'd see if I can program a move in Python. 

• 00:01:23 How would I use Python to generate  the scholar's move in chess? 

• 00:01:31 Okay, here BARD created a script to  recreate this chess move in Python. 

• 00:01:36 And notice how it also formatted the  code nicely, making it easy to read. 

• 00:01:42 We've also heard great feedback from developers  about how BARD provides code citations. 

• 00:01:47 And starting next week, you'll  notice something right here. 

• 00:01:50 We're making code citations even more precise. If BARD brings in a block of code, just click this  

• 00:01:58 annotation and BARD will underline the block and link to the source. 

• 00:02:03 Now BARD can also help me understand the code. 

• 00:02:06 Could you tell me what  chess.bored does in this code? 

• 00:02:13 This is a super helpful explanation of what  it's doing and makes things more clear. 

• 00:02:17 All right, let's see if we can  make this code a little better. 

• 00:02:20 How would I improve this code? 

• 00:02:27 Okay, let's see. There's a list comprehension,  

• 00:02:29 creating a function, and using a generator. Those are some great suggestions. 

• 00:02:34 Now could you join them into  one single Python code block? 

• 00:02:39 Okay, now BARD is rebuilding the  code with these improvements. 

• 00:02:44 Okay, great. How easy was that? 

• 00:02:46 And in a couple clicks, I can  move this directly into Colab. 

• 00:02:51 Developers love the ability to bring code  from BARD into their workflow, like to Colab. 

• 00:02:57 So coming soon, we're adding the ability to  export and run code with our partner Repl.it, 

• 00:03:02 starting with Python. 

• 00:03:12 We've also heard that you want dark theme. So starting today,  

• 00:03:25 you can activate it right in BARD  or let it follow your OS settings. 

• 00:03:29 And speaking of exporting things, people often  ask BARD for a head start drafting emails 

• 00:03:34 and documents. So today, we are launching two more export  

• 00:03:39 actions, making it easy to move BARD's responses right into Gmail and Docs. 

• 00:03:51 So we're excited by how quickly  BARD and the underlying models are  

• 00:03:55 improving, but we're not stopping there. 

• 00:03:58 We want to bring more capabilities to BARD  to fuel your curiosity and imagination. 

• 00:04:04 And so I'm excited to announce  that tools are coming to BARD. 

• 00:04:13 As you collaborate with BARD, you'll be able  to tap into services from Google and extensions 

• 00:04:20 with partners to let you do  things never before possible. 

• 00:04:24 And of course, we'll approach this  responsibly in a secure and private way,  

• 00:04:29 letting you always stay in control. 

• 00:04:33 We're starting with some of the Google  apps that people love and use every day. 

• 00:04:38 It's incredible what BARD can already do with  text, but images are such a fundamental part 

• 00:04:44 of how we learn and express. So in the next few weeks, BARD will become  

• 00:04:50 more visual, both in its responses and your prompts. 

• 00:04:54 So if you ask, what are some must-see sites  in New Orleans, BARD's going to use Google 

• 00:05:01 Search and the Knowledge Graph  to find the most relevant images. 

• 00:05:07 Okay, here we go. The French Quarter, the Garden District,  

• 00:05:10 these images are really giving me a much better sense of what I'm exploring. 

• 00:05:16 We'll also make it easy for  you to prompt BARD with images,  

• 00:05:19 giving you even more ways to explore and create. 

• 00:05:24 People love Google Lens, and in the coming  months, we're bringing in the powers of Lens 

• 00:05:28 to BARD. So  

• 00:05:37 if you're looking to have some fun with  your fur babies, you might upload an image 

• 00:05:40 and ask BARD to write a funny  caption about these two. 

• 00:05:45 Lens detects that this is a photo of a goofy  German Shepherd and a golden retriever, and 

• 00:05:50 then BARD uses that to create some funny captions. 

• 00:05:58 If you ask me, I think they're both good boys. 

• 00:06:00 Okay, now let's do another one. Imagine I'm 18 and I need to apply to college. 

• 00:06:08 I won't date myself with how long it's been,  but it's still an overwhelming process. 

• 00:06:13 So I'm thinking about colleges, but  I'm not sure what I want to focus on. 

• 00:06:17 I'm into video games, and what kinds  of programs might be interesting? 

• 00:06:24 Okay, this is a helpful head start. Hmm, animation looks pretty interesting. 

• 00:06:29 Now I could ask, help me find colleges  with animation programs in Pennsylvania. 

• 00:06:39 Okay, great, that's a good list of schools. 

• 00:06:41 Now to see where these are, I  might now say, show these on a map. 

• 00:06:46 Here BARD's going to use Google Maps  to visualize where the schools are. 

• 00:06:52 This is super helpful, and it's exciting  to see that there's plenty of options not 

• 00:07:02 too far from home. 

• 00:07:03 Now let's start organizing things a bit. Show these options as a table. 

• 00:07:10 Nice, structured and organized,  but there's more I want to know. 

• 00:07:14 Add a column showing whether  they're public or private schools. 

• 00:07:22 Perfect, this is a great start to build on. And now let's move this to Google Sheets so my  

• 00:07:34 family can jump in later to help me with my search. 

• 00:07:44 You can see how easy it will be to get a  jump start in BARD and quickly have something 

• 00:07:48 useful to move over to apps like Docs  or Sheets to build on with others. 

• 00:07:54 Okay, now that's a taste of what's possible  when BARD meets some of Google's apps, but 

• 00:08:00 that's just the start. BARD will be able to tap  

• 00:08:03 into all kinds of services from  across the web with extensions 

• 00:08:07 from incredible partners like Instacart,  Indeed, Khan Academy, and many more. 

• 00:08:14 So here's a look at one coming  in the next couple months. 

• 00:08:17 With Adobe Firefly, you'll be able to  generate completely new images from  

• 00:08:23 your imagination right in BARD. 

• 00:08:27 Now let's say I'm planning a birthday party  for my seven-year-old who loves unicorns. 

• 00:08:32 I want a fun image to send  out with the invitations. 

• 00:08:36 Make an image of a unicorn  and a cake at a kid's party. 

• 00:08:41 Okay, now BARD is working with Firefly  to bring what I imagined to life. 

• 00:08:52 How amazing is that? This will unlock all kinds of ways that  

• 00:08:57 you can take your creativity further and faster, and we are so excited for this partnership. 

• 00:09:04 BARD continues to rapidly improve and learn  new abilities, and we want to let people around 

• 00:09:10 the world try it out and share their feedback. So today, we are removing the wait list and  

• 00:09:17 opening up BARD to over 180 countries and territories,  

• 00:09:29 with more coming soon. And in addition to becoming available in more  

• 00:09:33 places, BARD is also becoming available in more languages. 

• 00:09:37 Beyond English, starting today, you'll be  able to talk to BARD in Japanese and Korean. 

• 00:09:49 Adding languages responsibly involves deep  work to get things like quality and local 

• 00:09:55 nuances right, and we're pleased to  share that we're on track to support  

• 00:09:59 40 languages soon. 

• 00:10:07 It's amazing to see the rate of progress so far. More advanced models, so many new capabilities,  

• 00:10:13 and the ability for even  more people to collaborate 

• 00:10:17 with BARD. And when we're ready to move BARD to our Gemini  

• 00:10:21 model, I'm really excited about more advancements to come. 

• 00:10:27 So that's where we're going with BARD, connecting  tools from Google and amazing services across 

• 00:10:33 the web to help you do and create anything  you can imagine through a fluid collaboration 

• 00:10:39 with our most capable large language models. There's so much to share in the days ahead. 

• 00:10:45 And now, to hear more about how large language  models are enabling next generation productivity 

• 00:10:51 features right in Workspace,  I'll hand it over to Aparna.
