New updates:

• Listen to responses: Sometimes hearing something out loud can help you approach your idea in a different way. That’s why, users can now listen to Bard’s responses. This is especially helpful if you want to hear the correct pronunciation of a word or listen to a poem or script. Users can enter a prompt and select the sound icon to hear Bard’s answers.
• Easily adjust Bard’s responses: Users can now change the tone and style of Bard's responses to five different options: simple, long, short, professional or casual. For example, you can ask Bard to help you write a marketplace listing for a vintage armchair, and then shorten the response using the drop-down. This feature is live in English and will expand to new languages soon.

• Pin and rename conversations: The platform has now added new ways to pin and rename your conversations with Bard. Now when users start a conversation, they will see options to pin, rename and pick up recent conversations in the sidebar. For example, if you ask Bard to help you compare outdoor sports for the summer, you can revisit the tips later.

• Export code to more places: The new feature allows users to export Python code to Replit, in addition to Google Colab.

• Share responses with friends: Users can share part or all of their Bard chat with their network. With shareable links, they can share their ideas and creations with others.
• Use images in prompts: Images are a big part of how we put our imaginations to work. Google has brought the capabilities of Google Lens into Bard. This feature is now live in English, and we’ll expand to new languages soon.
