Google is constantly innovating to bring new and exciting features to its users, and its latest development is no exception. The tech giant is reportedly working on introducing its Bard AI as a home-screen widget for Pixel smartphones and an upcoming tablet.
This exclusive feature will offer an easy way to access the generative AI chatbot, providing a more seamless experience for Pixel device users.
According to a decompiled APK by 9to5Google, it is still unclear whether Bard will be integrated into the Google Search app or offered as a standalone app. However, the Bard AI home-screen widget is expected to be available on Pixel devices as part of the Android 14 update.
This update will bring several benefits to Pixel users, including a one-tap shortcut to the conversational window with the chatbot and suggested prompts for conversations.
For the time being, Google intends to keep the Bard AI home-screen widget exclusive to Pixel devices, but this may change in the future. The potential inclusion of Bard in Pixel phones may pave the way for its future rollout on other Android devices.
Google’s I/O 2023 event, set to kick off on May 10, is expected to feature several AI-related announcements, including the debut of the Pixel 7a, Pixel Fold, and Pixel Tablet.
This event may also shed more light on the Bard AI home-screen widget and related features. Google users can look forward to even more exciting developments in the world of AI technology, as Google continues to push boundaries and innovate in the field.
