TL;DR
- Google is gearing as much as rebrand Assistant with Bard to Bard, in accordance with an app teardown.
- The teardown suggests that each occasion of “Assistant with Bard” shall be changed with “Bard.”
Google introduced final 12 months 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 screen, for starters. Examine the screenshots beneath (outdated on the left, new on the correct), courtesy of the outlet.
The Bard identify can be utilized in different areas of the app, in accordance with the outlet. For instance, “Assistant with Bard settings” turns into “Bard settings” whereas “Assistant with Bard is quickly unavailable” turns into “Bard is quickly unavailable.”
Between this rebrand and Google gutting each the Assistant service and the Assistant division itself, the corporate is shifting shortly to place Bard as an Assistant alternative. Right here’s hoping Google brings extra Assistant options (each current and axed) to the brand new chatbot.
