Google introduced final yr that it was bringing its new Bard AI chatbot to Google Assistant, calling the mixed expertise Assistant with Bard. Now, new proof means that Google will rebrand Assistant with Bard earlier than its launch.
9to5Google dug into model 15.2 of the Google app and located that the corporate has renamed Assistant with Bard to Bard. The brand new identify is used on the introduction display, for starters. Examine the screenshots under (previous on the left, new on the suitable), courtesy of the outlet.
