What’s changing

Earlier this year, Google announced Bard, an early experiment by Google that lets you collaborate with generative AI. As a creative and helpful collaborator, Bard can supercharge your imagination, boost your productivity, and help you bring your ideas to life.

Trong những ngày tới, quản trị viên Google Workspace sẽ có thể bật quyền truy cập vào Bard cho người dùng của họ, trong Bảng điều khiển dành cho quản trị viên bên dưới Ứng dụng > Dịch vụ bổ sung của Google > Ứng dụng truy cập sớm.

Note: At first, Bard will be the only service managed by the Early Access Apps control. Over time, we may be adding other services under this control.

Note that Bard is separate from the AI — stay tuned to the Workspace Updates blog for more information about Workspace specific features.
