Continuation of Shared Chats

Shared Bard chats can now be continued through public links, enabling deeper exploration of topics or serving as conversation starters.

Multilingual Expansion

Google expands Bard's English language features to more than 40 supported languages, offering an enhanced user experience globally.

The Power of PaLM 2
