Joined the waiting list of Google Bard?
In this article, we will share some of the best Google Bard prompts that you can use with this chatbot and get most of your work done in few minutes. We’ll also explore if Google Bard is actually worth it or not.
What is Google Bard?
Google Bard is an AI-powered chatbot which is built on top of Google’s sophisticated LaMDA language model.
What can Bard do?
nswer questions.
Bard can answer questions and explain concepts in easy-to-understand terms.[4] Unlike asking a question to the traditional Google search engine, which provides a list of websites on which you can do your own research, Bard answers your questions in a conversational chat. Some examples:
"What's the difference between El Nino and La Nina?"
"I'm starting college and need to buy a laptop. Should I get a PC or a Mac?"
"What are some easy tricks I could train my dog to do?"
Generate creative content.
You can use Bard to create drafts for essays, poetry, lyrics, movie scripts, blog posts, and more. Just keep in mind that while Bard is great at helping you plan your creative projects, it's best to use the AI chatbot as a starting point for our own creativity. You can even paste in your own writing and ask Bard to improve, reword, or finish it. Some prompt ideas:
"Write me a cover letter for a Junior Full Stack Developer position. I just finished coding bootcamp and have experience with Python, JavaScript, and HTML. I was formerly a chef but wanted a career change."
"Write a 2 page college essay about the benefits of gun control in the United States."
"Help me finish this lyrical poem that compares a romantic relationship to the ocean."
Help you code.
Whether you're new to coding or looking for ways to enhance your productivity, use Bard to help you simplify, debug, and write code in Python, Java, C++, Go, and over a dozen other programming languages.[5] Some example prompts:
"Fix the Reference Error in this JavaScript code."
"Write a Python program that compares two lists."
"Explain how this code works."
Always test code generated by Bard for functionality and vulnerabilities before implementing it. While Bard can be a great copilot for coding, it doesn't always get things right.[6]
Help you plan.
Use Google Bard to help you plan meals and menus, develop travel itineraries, write meeting agendas, and plot project timelines. Just tell Bard what you need, provide any details you already have, and the AI chatbot will help bring your ideas to reality. Try questions and prompts like these for great results:
"What can I cook with rice, chicken, a can of stewed tomatoes, an onion, baby spinach, and white wine?"
"I'm planning a trip to San Francisco for 5 days. Which hotel would be good to stay in if I don't want to spend more than $700 on lodging?"
"Write a vegan meal plan for one week using the Mediterranean diet guidelines."
Bard can access the internet, which can be helpful for planning travel. The AI chatbot can help you find current prices, weather conditions, travel advisories, and other timely data.
Brainstorm ideas.If you're feeling stuck creatively, ask Bard to generate ideas for your next blog post, business name, essay topic, or art project. Just give Bard as much context as you'd like to provide, and the AI chatbot will generate ideas for you. Some examples of what Bard can do:
"Give me a list of band name ideas for an all-woman punk band."
"Give me 10 ideas for a high school science project about the environment."
"Write a list of creative names for dogs that are food-related."
Increase your productivity.Bard can help you work smarter and be more productive. Ask Bard to check your grammar and spelling, plan presentations, create schedules, draft emails, summarize reports, and analyze data. Try prompts like these:
"Write an email to my employees that says they've met our sales goal for the month. Tell them I appreciate their hard work and that I'll be treating them to a celebration dinner tomorrow at Vito's at 7PM."
"Check this letter for spelling and grammar. If there's a better way to phrase something, rephrase it for me."
"Plan a PowerPoint presentation about how instructors can use Google Bard AI in the classroom."
Be careful not to share any sensitive data with Bard, as the data you provide can be used to further train the AI language model.
Play games and have fun.Bard can play all sorts of creative games, from 20 Questions to roleplaying games like Dungeons and Dragons. You can also have Bard ask you trivia questions, tell you jokes, give you fun facts, or even just use Bard as a chat buddy. Some fun prompt ideas:
"Quiz me on the Billboard Top 100 hits from the 90s."
"Guess which celebrity I am in 10 questions. What's your first question?"
"Let's play a text-based adventure game. You go first."
Language model.ChatGPT uses OpenAI's GPT-3.5 (or GPT-4 for ChatGPT Plus and some API users), while Bard relies on Google's multilingual PaLM2 model. These language models were created using different types of training data, which makes each AI chatbot unique.[7] The PaLM2 upgrade can be seen as a solid competitor to GPT-4. This means that
PaLM2 is more on par with the paid version ChatGPT than the free version, making Bard a great free alternative to paying for a ChatGPT subscription.
With Bard's latest upgrade, Google's AI chatbot now beats ChatGPT Plus (based on GPT-4) when it comes to math, reasoning, and translation accuracy.Internet connectivity.
Google Bard is connected to the internet and has unrestricted Google access, making it helpful when you need timely information. ChatGPT (both the free and paid versions) now has some internet access, but its access is more limited. Similarly, both GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 have limited knowledge of current events, as their training data cuts off at 2021.
Generating content and working with text.
When it comes to generating or evaluating long-form content, ChatGPT may do a better job than Bard—as long as it doesn't need much information from after 2021. Bard is better at short-form conversation and getting current information, while ChatGPT excels at writing and working with chunks of text. Though with the release of PaLM2, Bard may soon beat out ChatGPT in long-form content generation.
User experience.Both ChatGPT and Bard have a similar layout, with a few differences:
Unlike in ChatGPT, where you can see a list of your past conversations, Bard doesn't save its responses to your prompts. You can, however, see your past prompts to Bard by clicking Bard Activity in the left panel. You can also toggle your Bard activity on or off by clicking Bard Activity at the top of the Your Bard Activity page, or delete it entirely.
While neither chatbot lists its sources, Bard displays a Google it button below each answer. This way, you can check its sources yourself. While you can ask ChatGPT for sources, it generally doesn't provide accurate answers, or even working links.
Bard generates 3 drafts at once and allows you to view each response separately. You can have ChatGPT regenerate its response, but you'll only get one response at a time.
Users of ChatGPT complain of login problems, capacity issues, and other errors, while Bard is generally accessible and error-free at all times.
