First thing Bard AI is an experiment Google is working on it. It is based on a large language model called LaMDA for dialogue applications.LaMDA is an abbreviation for Language Model for Dialogue Applications.

- Being a creative and helpful collaborator to supercharge your imagination, boost productivity, and bring ideas to life
- Helping you explain new discoveries or learn more about various topics
- Being an AI chat service that functions similarly to ChatGPT
- Utilizing a lightweight model version of LaMDA that requires less computing power and can be scaled to more users
- Code generation, debugging, and explaining and support more than 20 programming languages including C++, Go, Java, Javascript, Python, and Typescript.
- Python code can be exported to Google Colab
In a blog post, Google (Sissie Hsiao, vice president, and GM for Assistant and Bard at Google) announced that they are ending Bard’s waitlist :

Real-time data: ChatGPT’s data is limited to 2021 but Google Bard AI can give real-time results.
Large Language Model: ChatGPT is based on the GPT model but Bard AI is based LaMDA.
Response export options: Bard AI provides export responses to Google Docs or Gmail drafts.
Pricing: ChatGPT has paid version called ChatGPT Plus but Google Bard AI is free.
Edit Question: Bard AI allows us to edit questions. ChatGPT doesn’t allow edit questions once sent.
