Bard: How to use Google AI in Brazil?

On March 21, 2023, Google announced the launch poet, a chatbot with artificial intelligence (AI) that can help with various daily tasks. AI is very similar to ChatGPT; After the success of the platform created by OpenAI and funded by Microsoft, pressure was put on Google to invest more in the space and launch similar technology.

Despite the similarity, there are some key differences between ChatGPT and Bard. In theory, Google’s AI can better understand the context of conversations with users, process more complex questions and answers, and be better customized to meet the user’s specific needs.

For now, Google has officially launched an English-only trial for users living in the United States and the United Kingdom, so the platform is not yet available in any other region of the world. Fortunately, there is a way to access and take advantage of all the possibilities Google Bard in Brazilyou only have access to one VPN service.

How to use Bard in Brazil?

Bard is a tool that uses a text manipulation language model to help create written content. Like ChatGPT, Google’s artificial intelligence uses machine learning and data analysis techniques to improve your answers and deliver more accurate and relevant results.

Google announced Bard in February 2023 and made a trial version available to users in the United States and United Kingdom the following month. The company explains on its website that it plans to make the tool available in other languages ​​and regions of the world, but there are still no estimates for international launch.

“Currently Bard may not be available in your country. For now, you will need to join the waiting list before you can start using it. Bard is currently only available in US English, but we are working to ensure that Bard can speak as many languages ​​as possible,” Bard says on its website.

How to access Bard via VPN

Since the Google chatbot is not yet available in Brazil, the only way to access it is with a VPN, which will provide secure access to a network in the United States and allow Bard to use it; It is possible to ‘claim’ your connection to be from another part of the world.

• First, go with a reputable VPN provider like NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Surfshark, and others;
• Download and install the VPN app on your device;
• Open the app and login to your VPN account;
• Choose a server located in the USA where Google Bard is available;
• Connect to the selected server;
• Open your Internet browser and access the Bard website;
• If you don’t have an account yet, join the waiting list;
• If you already have an account, log in as normal;
• That’s it, now you can use Bard as if you were in the USA.

How to Enter the Bard Waiting List?

Before starting to use the chatbot, it is necessary to enter the waiting list. To do this, simply have your own Google account, be over 18 years old, and open Bard in a compatible browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera or Edgium).

• Go to the Bard website;
• Select “Join waitlist”;
• If necessary, sign in to your Google Account;
• Click on “Yes, I am” (Yes, I am);
• That’s it, Google will now send you a notification when your access is released.

Once you have access, go to Bard, type whatever you want in the text box, click “Submit” and the requested content will be displayed shortly — Google’s chatbot takes a little longer than the OpenAI version, but can answer more complex questions.

“We will combine external feedback with our own internal testing to ensure that Bard’s responses meet a high standard of quality, safety and based on real-world information,” a Google spokesperson told Reuters.

In any case, it’s important to emphasize that none of the tools always produce correct content, and in some cases ChatGPT and Bard may give incorrect and/or incorrect answers. But AIs are in constant training and should produce more accurate and reliable content over time.
