Google is making its AI chatbot, Bard, available to the public.
The company is rolling out Bard across in the US and UK starting Tuesday.
Bard works much like OpenAI's chatbot ChatGPT, although there are some differences.

Google's answer to ChatGPT is finally being released to the public.

The company said that it will grant access to its artificial intelligence chatbot, known as Bard, in the US and UK starting Tuesday.

Google says that you can use Bard to "boost your productivity, accelerate your ideas and fuel your curiosity." It functions similarly to OpenAI's ChatGPT: you prompt it with a question or a task – say, create a recipe or plan a road trip – and it will produce a response.
