Google Bard will follow in the footsteps of ChatGPT and will have a paid version

Google BardMountain View-based AI chatbot will follow in the footsteps of ChatGPT and I’ll try my luck in the field of paid subscriptions. Although the currently available version is free, the company believes it can generate significant revenue from its tool by offering exclusive features.

In December 2023, Google introduced Twins, a next-generation artificial intelligence language model. They, of course, wasted no time and quickly began integrating it with Google Bard. This allowed the chatbot to significantly improve its performance.

However, Gemini is available in several versions depending on its power: Nano and Pro, and the version Ultrathe most advanced and multimodal, will arrive during this year.

Well then, The Google Bard option that Gemini Ultra will use will be a paid option.. Developer Dylan Roussel discovered that Google’s Bard website was already hiding some messages suggesting a future subscription. Modal mentions:

“Try Bard Advanced for three months. Get a more functional model of a large language with advanced reasoning and mathematical skills.”

While there is currently no pricing information for Google Bard Advanced, we do know one of its key features. The company called it Motoko. What it is? Well, the ability to create your own chatbots based on Gemini Ultra.

“Little is known about Motoko yet. However, suffice it to tell you that Google will allow you to create bots. I can’t say exactly what they mean by “bots” or if they will be shared or anything like that. But yeah…Motoko is the code name for ‘Bots,'” Russell said.

Google Bard wants to gain a foothold on ChatGPT

As mentioned above, Google Bard is following in the footsteps of its main competitor in the ChatGPT market. In February 2023, OpenAI launched ChatGPT Plus, a variant of its chatbot aimed at the professional sector. His price? 20 dollars a month.

It offers four key improvements over the original version. First, it eliminates the need to wait while servers are overloaded with requests. It’s also faster to respond and offers priority access to new features. As if that weren’t enough, since November last year it allows you to create your own chatbots without any prior programming knowledge.

It will be interesting to see what Google Bard Advanced offers. If you really want to steal users from ChatGPT Plus, you will have to offer additional features to your competitor. Or enter the market at a revolutionary price.

Google is stepping on the gas pedal to become a benchmark in the artificial intelligence sector. While she wasn’t the first—at least not in the realm of mainstream tools—she’s taking her steps very carefully to get the best results in the shortest amount of time.

In addition to efforts to continually improve Google Bard, the company also wants developers to take advantage of its technology. In December they released an API to integrate Gemini Pro into Android apps. Surely in the coming months we will see the first applications with generative artificial intelligence functions.
