Transcripts
To correctly use Google Bard let's first
make sure we have the right settings
enabled so click on the gear icon up top
and enable Dark theme because we're not
internet peasants and toggle on respond
in real time for quicker responses then
if you're using a personal Google
account head on over to extensions and
make sure Google workspace and YouTube
are toggled on I personally like to keep
the other three toggled off because they
sometimes activate without being
instructed to and that slows down my
workflow extensions are not a available
just yet for Google business accounts
for whatever reason so make sure you're
subscribed for future updates now that
extensions are enabled you can use the
@ shortcut to bring up a list of
commands for Gmail Google Docs Google
Drive and YouTube at first I thought
this was a very gimmicky feature because
I could probably perform the task faster
if I just go to Gmail drive and YouTube
but I found quite a few use cases that
save me a bunch of time starting with
the Gmail I like to ask Bard to search
for all emails related to one specific
topic for example @ gmail email give me
all emails that mention Spotify earnings
and Bard knows that I'm looking for
emails that contain analyst reports on
Spotify if I try to manually search for
those same emails in Gmail I would see a
ton of unrelated results even if I use
search operators like from and and
quotation marks I would also need to
right click open in new window to open
multiple emails whereas in Bard I can
open these emails in new tabs directly
and just start reading another practical
example would be confirmation emails at
gmail find all Flight confirmation
emails from this year and usually these
are annoying to find if you don't use
labels in Gmail but Bard finds them with
no problem moving over to Google Drive
I'm able to input a very vague search
query at Google Drive could you please
find all documents related to SAT prep a
standardized test I prepared for decades
ago should be in PDF format and boom
Bard understood the context and gives me
all the PDF files I had saved ages ago
whereas if I went to Google Drive and
searched for SAT tons of irrelevant
results and even if I filtered by type
PDFs still a lot of unrelated results
like my resume if you learned something
new from this video already drop a like
but if not feel free to hit that dislike
button twice to really make your point
now on to Google Docs this is super cool
you can at Google Docs input the
document name in quotation remarks for
example ey year one self assessment and
ask bard to only consider the content of
this specific file in your answer your
task is to take an action in this case
analyze the file and share the top three
takeaways and Bard will pull information
from that specific document and take
that Action Pro tip if you can't
remember the exact name of the file you
can start off with at Google Drive find
the self assessment for my first year at
ey ah here it is at Google Docs please
analyze and summarize the top three
takeaways from this document you can
take this a step further and include a
time frame in your prompt as well for
example at Google Docs what is the most
recent position I held in my latest
resume and Bard will consider the last
updated date when deciding which file to
pull information from apart from the
workspace commands I also regularly use
the image upload feature to distill
important information for example if I
were to present you with this chart you
might be overwhelmed by all the data
points thanks to Bard we can Command or
control C to copy this image command and
control V to paste it within bard and
input assume the role of a senior
business analyst with over 20 years of
experience what are the top three key
takeaways for this chart and we're told
that the pace of innovation in open
source LLMs is accelerating the gap between
open source and private models is
narrowing rapidly and we're on the cusp
of a paradigm shift in AI if we refer
back to the original article we find
that Google Bard is correct new research
shows that open-source competitors are
catching up to the their private model
counterparts use case number two is
something I do everyday at work I see a
table with data in it that I want to
analyze and play around with but it's in
a non-editable format like a PDF I take
a screenshot paste it into Bard and say
give me the data in table format be as
accurate as possible and now with one
click I can export this entire table
into a Google spreadsheet to start my
analysis this literally saves me hours
every week use case number three is for
those of us who use text to image models
I find an AI generated image I like copy
and paste into Bard and say reverse
engineer the text prompt for this image
so that I can use that text prompt to
get a similar image in DALL-E Bard outputs
a simple prompt and a lot of additional
details for us to consider but even if I
just take the simple original prompt and
copy paste into ChatGPT ChatGPT
generates a pretty similar image using
its integrational DALL-E some of
you might be wondering at this point
what about PDFs can I upload a PDF file
onto Google bard and the answer is
technically no but definitely yes
meaning although you can't upload a PDF
file there are two workarounds method
number one if the PDF is already hosted
online like this BCG report you can
simply paste the link into Bard and say
analyze this report tell me who the
intended audience is and give me the
top three takeaways be as specific as
possible in your response by using
examples from the report and Bard will
be able to take action directly method
number two upload the PDF onto your
Google Drive and using the at Google
Drive command ask barc to pull
information and take action for that
uploaded file by the way this video is
not sponsored but it is supported by
those of you who subscribe to my paid
productivity newsletter on Google tips
Link in the description to learn more
moving on to the YouTube Vision
functionality you might have seen other
videos talk about how you can ask Bard
for YouTube video recommendations and in
my opinion that's kind of silly because
it's much faster and more accurate to
just search directly on YouTube but
where Bart shines is if you want to
analyze a video for example why did this
PopCorners advertisement perform so well
with over 5 million views 250,000 likes
and over 6,000 comments I can use the at
YouTube command paste the video URL and
input analyze this advertisement and
tell me who the target audience is what
the user insight is and why it performs
so well and why the engagement level is
so high and Bard summarizes a plot
answers my questions and expands on
those insights another way I like to use
the YouTube Bard integration is to take
a longer video that I'm interested in
but I don't have time to watch for
example this 2-hour podcast between
Huberman and Goggins on how to build
immense Inner Strength I go to Bard at
YouTube paste in the YouTube url First
share the top three takeaways from this
video and second what are the five
actionable steps I can take to build
inner strength give me specific examples
from the video this allows me to quickly
distill learnings from the video and now
I can just focus on a specific 10 to 15
minute segment uh to dive deeper into a
particular concept celebrate small wins
that's actually a very underrated tip in
addition to these practical applications
let's go through some of the features
that make Google Bard so user-friendly
for example if you open up a new chat
you can and should click on these
default options to see recommended
prompt structures from Google for
example this one understand a complex
topic uh I just need to replace the text
in blue here Briefly summarize this
concept let's choose large language
models uh you're an expert on this
concept and able to explain it in a
clear concise manner blah blah blah
let's see what happens and the biggest
benefit to using these default prompts
by Google is the more we read and use
them the better we get at writing and
structuring our own prompts Google is
basically giving us training wheels for
prompting I can also choose to modify
the response by clicking the icon here
to make it shorter longer simpler more
casual more professional how do you
professionally say I'm not accepting
that meeting because it's a waste of my
time declining this invite as I don't
feel my participation in this
discussion is required I can also click
the Google icon here to fact check the
the response by Google bard green
highlight means uh Google is fairly
accurate and if you see yellow it means
eh it's a little bit iffy I actually
click this drop down menu here to view
other drafts quite often because other
drafts might give you a better format
for example
this one draft three uh here are three
key things about LLMs right versus the
original draft just tells you what LLMs
are able to do so it really depends on
your personal preference you could just
cycle through the different drafts if
you prefer to interact with Bard via
voice you can click on the microphone
icon here to speak your prompt give me
the funniest and most hilarious dad joke
you can think of and after the answer is
generated click on the speaker icon to
listen to the output did you hear about
the restaurant on the moon great food
but no atmosphere you know what makes
this super realistic Bard actually goes
ahead and explains the joke how
atmosphere has a dual meaning that's
what dads do when no one laughs
right anyways if you click on the share
button down below you can choose to
either share your latest prompt and
response or the entire chat publicly and
I personally like to generate a more
informative headline before sharing the
link with others you can even find a
repository of all your public links by
clicking on the settings icon your
public links Pro tip I like to save
prompts that have generated high quality
outputs by clicking the three dots here
clicking pin giving it a new name adding
an emoji and clicking pin so that I can
easily reference this in the future if

course for beginners see you on the next
video in the
meantime have a great one
