Notice
In the countries or regions where Bard can be used, Workspace enterprise or team users can try to experience accessing the Bard chatbot Workspace Family Bucket. Unlike other companies such as Microsoft, Google adopts a relatively cautious and controllable strategy when developing and applying artificial intelligence technology. Therefore, Google has not yet mentioned plans to expand Bard to more markets , so the current limitations include:
-
Bard is only accessible to Google Workspace users in a limited number of countries, so even with "Early access apps" turned on, users in some countries will not be able to access the update feature ;
-
The administrator needs to enable Bard on the domain to allow team users to access . The specific steps are Apps > Additional Google Services > Early Access Apps. Users need to join the waiting list and wait for Google's approval to access Bard;
-
Bard can only provide the functionality of generative AI tools, but cannot bring more AI-driven innovation to Google Workspace;
-
According to user comments on related news, the current language is still only supported in English , and friends who have the conditions can try it.

summary
It is also reported[2] that Google plans to launch an exclusive home screen control on its devices in the near future to enhance the ease of use of the Bard AI chatbot on Pixel phones and tablets. Bard AI is expected to be released on the Android platform soon, and includes a home screen component. Unlike rival ChatGPT, Bard AI is not yet widely used. With the launch of Pixel phones, Bard AI's coverage will also expand, but it still has a gap compared to ChatGPT's usability.
Although it seems that it is not possible to experience the new functions of Workspace and Bard in China, we look forward to seeing the progress of collaborative office tools such as Tencent Docs, Feishu, and DingTalk in the domestic market as soon as possible, so that generative AI can greatly improve productivity. , to serve our daily work more conveniently~
