FULL STORY ======================================================================

New footage has leaked for Googles Assistant with Bard demonstrating how the digital AI helper could work at launch.

Nail Sadykov posted the video on X (the platform formerly known as Twitter) after discovering the feature on the Pixel Tips app. Apparently, Google accidentally spilled the beans on its tech, so its probably safe to say this is legitimate. It looks like something you would see in one of the companys Keyword posts explaining the feature in detail except theres no audio.

There will, based on the clip, be two ways to activate Assistant with Bard: either by tapping the Bard app and saying Hey Google or pressing and holding the power button. A multimodular input box rises from the bottom where you
can type in a text prompt, upload photos, or speak a verbal command. The demo proceeds to only show the second method by having someone take a picture of a wilting plant and then verbally ask for advice on how to save it.

maybe we will see it in the next Pixel Feature Drop ? https://t.co/oPr7uEzx8R pic.twitter.com/XsDYIDROHV January 28, 2024 See more

A few seconds later, Assistant with Bard manages to correctly identify the plant in the image (its a spider plant, by the way) and generates a wall of text explaining what can be done to revitalize it. It even links to several YouTube videos at the end.

Assistant with Bard has something of a badly kept secret. It was originally announced back in October 2023 but has since seen multiple leaks. The biggest info dump by far occurred in early January revealing much of the user experience as well as various in-development features. Whats been missing up to this point is news on whether or not Assistant with Bard will have any
sort of limitations. As it turns out, there may be a few restrictions. Assistant Limitations

Mishaal Rahman , another industry insider, dove into Pixel Tips searching
for more information on the update. He claims Assistant with Bard will only appear on single-screen Pixel smartphones powered by a Tensor chip. This includes the Pixel 6, Pixel 7, and Pixel 8 lines. Older models will not receive the upgrade and neither will the Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold , or the rumored Pixel Fold 2 .

Additionally, mobile devices must be running the Android 14 QPR2 beta or the upcoming stable QPR2 release although its most likely going to be the latter. Rahman states he found a publication date in the Pixels Tip app hinting at a March 2024 release. Its important to point out that March is also the
expected launch window for Android 14 QPR2 and the next Feature Drop for
Pixel phones.

No word on whether or not other Android devices will receive Assistant with Bard. It seems itll be exclusive to Pixel for the moment. We could see the update elsewhere, however considering that key brands, like Samsung , prefer having their own AI, an Assistant with Bard expansion seems unlikely. But we could be wrong.
