One of the screenshots provided describes Bard Advanced as "a more powerful language model with advanced maths and logic skills". Another developer analysing Bard code confirmed Roussel's findings.
The enthusiast discovered other updates as well. They include a Motoko feature designed to create custom bots. It's not yet clear whether users will be able to share their creations and whether payment is required for access to the builder.
Google is also considering a new "amplification" feature that uses artificial intelligence to expand and enhance the hints provided in Bard. The introduction of a "Gallery" section will allow users to "explore different themes and features of Bard".
Other changes revealed include the introduction of a new "Tasks" tab. It is designed to keep track of long-term tasks that Bard is working on.
It is currently unknown when the release of these features will take place.
