Gonna repost this here as the other comment was on a fairly dead story:
I tried it and it's awful.
I asked it about the latest bill with some company, it told me it wasn't sure but I should call a number which was obviously fake (1-800-555-1212). Told it to check my emails and it couldn't find anything. It is not a common name of the company at all, and I have recent emails.
I'm making some prints of pictures of the sun (plug: https://www.theremarkablz.com/thesun) and a friend was selling them at a stall recently. Asked bard how the sale went, and it told me to go and check someones onlyfans page who has the same first name. I told it to check my emails and it brought up info on a house sale from someone with an entirely different name.
Has this been even vaguely checked?
Dupes / same underlying story:

Has anyone here managed to enable extensions for their Google Workspace account (not just personal gmail)?
I've tried enabling this setting for both a legacy free Google Apps domain, and for a paid Business account: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bb4812_1dc8e704bf6d4a49af...
Neither account displays the extensions icon, and visiting https://bard.google.com/extensions just redirects to https://bard.google.com/chat

No thanks, stay away from our emails. Last thing people want is their email content and personal google drive including images to be part of a giant LLM that is publicly available for anyone to use.

Bard can now accept images, and it's quite decent in recognizing the overall picture, not so good in the details. It can also recognize text.

"Bard made a small mistake..."
Yeah, an assistant that makes mistakes. Sign me up, I didn't know I needed that!

Bard's integration with Gmail is extremely basic -- it's just using regular Gmail search to include a few relevant emails in its prompt and then trying to answer your question. There's no AI in the email side.
We launched a much more capable Gmail + AI assistant this morning here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37585990#37586627
We're using embeddings + vector DB + x-encoder + more to deliver a much smarter & capable assistant.
This would be useful for Google Workspaces if it respected all of the ACL's across shared google drives. To be able to ask questions about the document repository would be a nice thing to have. Currently Bard isn't supported for Workspace.
