I tried it and it's awful.
I asked it about the latest bill with some company, it told me it wasn't sure but I should call a number which was obviously fake (1-800-555-1212). Told it to check my emails and it couldn't find anything. It is not a common name of the company at all, and I have recent emails.
I'm making some prints of pictures of the sun (plug: https://www.theremarkablz.com/thesun) and a friend was selling them at a stall recently. Asked bard how the sale went, and it told me to go and check someones onlyfans page who has the same first name. I told it to check my emails and it brought up info on a house sale from someone with an entirely different name.
Has this been even vaguely checked?
Dupes / same underlying story:
I've tried enabling this setting for both a legacy free Google Apps domain, and for a paid Business account: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bb4812_1dc8e704bf6d4a49af...
Neither account displays the extensions icon, and visiting https://bard.google.com/extensions just redirects to https://bard.google.com/chat
I don't upload anything really private.
I want face detection and Auto tagging.
I want my assistant knowing my emails and managing my calendar.
Even doing API calls in my name for whatever.
And yes Google will find a reasonable way how to do it smart enough ish.
Yeah, an assistant that makes mistakes. Sign me up, I didn't know I needed that!
We launched a much more capable Gmail + AI assistant this morning here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37585990#37586627
We're using embeddings + vector DB + x-encoder + more to deliver a much smarter & capable assistant.
It's been through a few developments in terminology. Google Workspace refers to the suite of apps, regardless of how they are paid, deployed, or who uses them.
Google Workspace is available to "normal free Gmail users" just as it is to Enterprise admins. I am an individual user with three personal accounts, I subscribe to Google One, and I use Google Workspace on all those accounts. Likewise, at work I use Google Workspace as provided by my employer.
It has different features and structures depending on level of service, but it's the same name for everyone.
It may, in fact, be instructive if you ask Bard "are you available for Google Workspace?"
I mentioned that in my original question above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37587300
From that comment:
"not just personal gmail"
"I've tried enabling this setting for both a legacy free Google Apps domain, and for a paid Business account"
I even included a screenshot of the Google Workspace Admin settings (which doesn't apply to personal @gmail.com accounts).
I was talking about one of the 'Business' plans listed on the Google Workspace Pricing page (https://workspace.google.com/pricing.html) or the legacy free plan (which used to be GSuite for your domain).
