GOOGLE’S CHATBOT GETS NEW UPGRADES
Google's AI chatbot, Bard, is set to take the world by storm as it expands its reach to Europe and Brazil while boasting exciting new features and multilingual support.
Bard extends its language support to 40 languages and broadens its availability to Europe and Brazil, promising to respect local privacy regulations.
Bard also offers variable styles and tones for responses and allows users to hear spoken replies, enhancing the user experience.
More new features include the ability to pin, rename, and share conversations, export Python code, and upload images for Bard to analyze, making it more user-friendly and versatile.
The AI chatbot race seems to be heating up again. Anthropic announced Claude 2 earlier this week. Now Google comes out with Bard upgrades.
Who’ll be next to make headlines with their chatbot - Microsoft or OpenAI?

SHOPIFY UNVEILS A SIDEKICK FOR ENTREPRENEURS
Shopify announced an upcoming new AI assistant, "Sidekick". This feature is set to offer personalized support to the merchants on Shopify's platform.
Sidekick will be able to answer a wide array of questions from merchants, ranging from sales trends to inventory management.
It will also actively perform different admin tasks on behalf of the merchants, such as applying discounts to products, updating the store design, and adding sections to the site. All from a simple prompt.
Shopify now joins an elite league of tech conglomerates, including Alibaba Group, Zoom, and Databricks - all of whom have recently launched their own AI assistants.
Since this announcement, Shopify’s shares went up 5.7%. 🚀
Hear more about Sidekick from the CEO himself:
I've got something very exciting to announce:
Entrepreneurs are heroes, and every hero needs a Sidekick ✨
