As Google announced a week or so ago, Bard now can show images in the responses. Jack Krawczyk said on Twitter that you can “click an image to see the source for each one,” and that “Bard includes images in relevant responses and also when you specifically ask for them, starting with English.”

Google Bard can now bring in images from Google Search and you can also ask Bard for images directly. Plus, Google Bard will show a source for each image.

I tried it myself and the first two requests were pretty solid. Well, okay, it lied, I am not thin, nor am I tall, but I’ll take it. But then when I asked it to merge the two of us, it didn’t work too well (not that I expected that to work):

It shows local results also:

New in bard.

It will get better over time, but it is nice to see these chat features from Google and Bing get more visual.

Here is a photo from the Google NYC office from a week or so ago where you have Dr. Michio Kaku giving Google Talk at the office there.

Dr. Michio is an American theoretical physicist, futurist, and popularizer of science. He is a professor of theoretical physics in the City College of New York and CUNY Graduate Center.

He was there to talk about his book, Quantum Supremacy: How the Quantum Computer Revolution Will Change Everything.

I found the image on Instagram.

Google is testing adding an image carousel directly in the business profile panel. So at the top of a business profile listing you see these business images. In this test, you can swipe the images to see more.

This was spotted by Mike who posted a few photos of it in the Local Search Forum. I took those images and made it into a GIF so you can see what it looks like in action:

Mike wrote, “As of this morning I noticed the ability to side scroll the top image/videos in the listings on mobile. Like a carousel.”

Yep, it does look like that.
