ChatGPT vs Bard: 8 features that Google's AI has but ChatGPT lacks

Google's Bard AI chatbot is an impressive natural language processing tool that is available in over 180 countries. It is Google's answer to OpenAI's ChatGPT, which has been making waves in the industry. While both ChatGPT and Google Bard are large language models, there are areas where Bard outperforms ChatGPT. Here are 8 features that are available on Bard for free but are missing from ChatGPT:

1. Internet Search

Bard can search the internet in real-time and find the most up-to-date information from the web to answer your questions or generate texts. This feature can be incredibly useful for research and other tasks that require online information.

2. Voice Interaction

Bard can be interacted with using your voice, which is more convenient in some situations. Voice input is useful when you are on the go, your hands are busy, or you prefer to speak instead of type. You can also use voice input to dictate longer texts or ask complex questions.

3. Text Generation Formats

Bard can generate text in different formats, including PDF, Word, and HTML. This makes it easy to share your work with others or use it in other applications. For example, you can export a PDF of a report that Bard generated for you, or you can export a Word document of a story that Bard wrote for you. You can also export an HTML file of a web page that Bard summarised for you.

4. Web Page Summarisation

Bard can summarise web pages, which is a great way to get the gist of a long or complex article. Simply paste the URL of the web page that you want to summarise, and Bard will generate a concise summary for you. You can also adjust the length and the level of detail of the summary according to your needs.

5. Multiple Response Drafts

Bard can provide multiple drafts of its responses, which is a great way to get feedback on your work and to make sure that you are getting the best possible results. Compare different drafts of Bard's responses and choose the one that suits your purpose. You can also edit or refine the drafts as you wish.

6. Code Explanation

Bard can explain code, which is a great way to learn new programming languages or to debug existing code. Simply paste the code that you want to understand, and Bard will generate a clear and detailed explanation for you. You can also ask Bard specific questions about the code, such as what it does, how it works, or why it produces certain outputs.

7. Suggested Google Searches

Bard can suggest Google searches to go further, which is a great way to find additional information on a topic. By typing "suggest" after your query or prompt, Bard will generate a list of Google searches that are related to your topic. You can then click on any of the suggested searches to explore them further.

8. Travel Planning

Bard can plan your trips, including finding flights, hotels, and activities. Simply tell Bard where and when you want to go, and it will generate a travel plan for you tailored to your preferences and budget. You can also ask Bard for recommendations on what to do or see at your destination. While ChatGPT can also help in planning, its database is not up-to-date, so Bard will show more recent places to visit and more.
