Google Assistant is getting a big makeover with the addition of AI chatbot Bard, in a move set to shake things up. This comes after Google recently let go of many workers in the Bay Area and removed 17 features from Google Assistant that weren't being used much. But now, the tech giant is ready to give its virtual assistant a fresh start.

According to reports from the Google News Telegram channel, Bard could join Google Assistant very soon, maybe even by March. It seems Google is getting everything ready for the big launch. They've made a special page in the Pixel Tips app to show off what the new Bard-powered Google Assistant can do, but for now, it's off-limits to users.

This new setup will use Google's Gemini family of Large Language Models, which they introduced last year. These powerful models will give Google Assistant some cool new tricks. You'll still be able to activate it with "Hey Google" or by tapping the side buttons twice, but now you'll have more ways to talk to it. You can type your questions, speak them out loud, or even show pictures to help explain what you need.

Leaked details suggest that the new Google Assistant will welcome users with a message from 9to5Google, assuring them it can still help hands-free and hinting at more features to come.

Google had mentioned before that Bard would join Google Assistant, but they hadn't said much about how it would work until now. With these leaks, we're getting a sneak peek at what's coming.

People are getting excited about the changes ahead for Google Assistant. They're waiting for Google to spill more details about how this update will make their favorite assistant even better.
