Google Bard, a groundbreaking assistant that uses generative AI to offer tailored responses to your needs, has recently unveiled a new feature, Google Bard Extensions, which can also transform how marketers operate in the future, further solidifying Google’s pivotal role in the marketing industry.
With Bard Extensions, Google Bard can integrate with a variety of Google apps and services like Google Workspace( Gmail, Google Docs, Google Drive), Google Maps, YouTube, and even Google Flights and Hotels. To access the Google Bard extension, you can simply go to bard.google.com, enable the extension, and begin using the tool. You have full control over your privacy settings and can disable them whenever you wish.
Benefit for Marketers
With this new extension, marketers can now ask Bard AI to collate information from these various platforms and present it in a single, digestible conversation. For instance, you could request Bard to summarize a lengthy email thread in Gmail, find a YouTube video on a specific topic for your next campaign, or even pull up data from Google Drive for your ongoing projects. This level of integration can significantly streamline your workflow, allowing you to channel your energy into strategy and creativity.
Google is indeed the backbone for most marketers, with tools like Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and Google Ads being indispensable. Unfortunately, this integration is currently not available. This integration will be especially advantageous for marketers, as they heavily depend on Google’s suite of tools for their daily operations.
Future Integration with Google Marketing Tools?
While the current integration of Google Bard is already impressive, the future holds even more exciting possibilities. Imagine if, in the future, Google Bard extension were to integrate with Google Analytics and Google Ads. As a marketer, you could ask Bard direct questions about your campaign performance, customer behavior, or market trends, just like you would with a team member. This would be a game-changer, further cementing Google’s role as an essential tool for marketers. It could save you the cost of hiring additional personnel and significantly speed up the process of generating insights and information on marketing data.
Unfortunately, as of now, Bard does not have a feature like ChatGPT to pull data from third-party sources using plugins or by creating Actions in GPT. We depend on Google to launch their integration if we want to get data from their products or third aprty.
Google Bard also boasts an enhanced “Google it” feature, which allows you to double-check Bard’s responses. This feature can be a lifesaver when you need to verify data or facts quickly. By clicking on the “G” icon, Bard will assess its response and provide supporting or contradicting information found by Search.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the launch of Google Bard’s new extension is a significant leap forward for marketers. It integrates various Google platforms into a single tool and enhances the user experience by providing relevant information quickly and efficiently. The potential future integration with Google Analytics and Google Ads could redefine the marketing industry, making Bard AI an invaluable team member in your marketing department. Once again, Google proves its indispensability in marketing, offering tools and features that marketers can’t live without.
