Things to Know Before Using Google Bard
How to Use Google Bard AI?
To use Google Bard AI, head to “Google Bard website” and click “Try Bard now”. Then, start giving prompts to have a conversation with it.
In the context of artificial intelligence (AI), a prompt is a set of instructions or guidelines that are provided to an AI model to guide its response.
Prompts are typically used in natural language processing (NLP) tasks, where they can be used to generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer questions in an informative way.
Here are the steps to use Google Bard:
Head to Bard Website
Google Bard has a dedicated website which you can access at any time.
With your Gmail account signed in, head to the Bard website and click “Try Bard now”.

I have inserted a prompt “Explain product marketing and product management in layman’s terms” for which Bard has given a great response along with a tabulated comparison.
For every single prompt, Bard will generate three responses. If you are not satisfied with the first response, you can view other responses by clicking “View other drafts”.
Providing the right prompt is one of the most important in unlock the full potential of AI-driven content generation. Platforms like PromptVibes emphasize the significance of precise prompts, as they enable users to convey their intentions effectively and receive more relevant and valuable outputs. By using the right prompts, you can streamline the creative process, ensuring that AI-generated content aligns with their specific needs and objectives.
Ask Follow-up Questions
As mentioned in the introduction of this article, Bard is an expert at giving contextual information. This is not possible in the conventional way of Google search.
Since I need more clarification on “product positioning” from the response I got in the previous step, I have asked the follow-up question “What is the positioning of the product? Brief about it.”
Bard responded with the same tone of Layman’s term as I mentioned in my first prompt. Like this, you can build up more conversions until all your queries are cleared.
Share the Response
Bard UI allows all users to export the responses to Google Sheets, Google Docs, and Gmail. You can also create a public link to the entire chat using the share icon.
