Alphabet Inc (GOOG  ) (GOOGL  ) Google is making moves to integrate its Bard artificial intelligence chatbot with several of its popular products, including Gmail, YouTube, and Google Docs, amid fierce competition in the AI space.

Bard, a competitor to OpenAI's ChatGPT and Microsoft Corp's (MSFT  ) Bing, will now have the capability to analyze and summarize Gmail emails, search through Google Docs, and check flight prices using Google Flights, all within its main interface.

Users can interact with Bard by entering questions, and it will respond with text and embedded YouTube videos, links to Google Doc files, Gmail email summaries, the Washington Post reports.

One practical example of this integration is a user asking Bard to review a series of complex school-related emails and provide a summarized version containing the most crucial information for parents.

With these updates, Bard will access user-generated content within Google's suite of products, although Google emphasizes that personal emails do not train Bard. However, Gmail emails play a role in preparing Google's "Help Me Write" feature, which offers sentence completion suggestions unless users opt-out.

AI chatbots, including Bard, still face challenges related to accuracy and the generation of false information. Google addresses this "hallucination" issue by conducting separate searches to verify Bard's responses.

Price Action: GOOG shares are trading lower by 0.57% at $138.17 on the last check Tuesday.
