Decoded: All that Google’s Bard Extensions does and guide on how to use it

On September 19, Google announced a new set of features for its generative-artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, Bard. One of the most significant additions is Extensions, which enables Bard to integrate with various Google tools and services, including Maps, YouTube, Drive, Docs, and Travel with Google (flights and hotels). This integration allows Bard to retrieve relevant information and provide personalised answers in a conversational, easy to understand manner.

For context, Bard is an experimental AI chatbot that simulates human conversations using machine learning and natural language processing. Based on Google’s transformer-based pre-trained large language model, Bard draws information from both its dataset and the web to generate responses.
