"Don't pay attention to the fact that the bird has lips...the bird has lips..."

"Let's just imagine how much better the world can be if birds had lips and that the bird invited us to live with it..."

We're really tripping on something early in the morning...

And a bird with lips mascot enters the #googleio stage...

Seriously, you'd think this is something you'd see at the end of "Last Week Tonight"

What is going on this early in the morning?

Announcing Bard+tools, meaning you can have extensions...so what you can do with ChatGPT. Starting with Google apps you use and love today.

Plus, Google is improving the UI so it's pulling from Photos and Knowledge Graph to present something visually better.

Google Lens is also coming to Bard — ask Bard to write funny captions of your doggos.

"Help me write" and "Duet AI" features are great but how much will these move the needle in Google's fight against OpenAI and Microsoft?

It really seems that Google is just leveraging its existing products. Its native apps are doing much of the heavy-lifting here.

These aren't bad updates...just not that major of a reveal IMO.

Google has reimagined its search results page thanks to #AI, powered by not only its Knowledge Graph but also its Images database and Shopping Graph. Perhaps this is compelling enough to make this appealing.

But how does this update impact SEO and organic search results? I wonder if Google will provide answers and insights to marketers and businesses who could see their traffic drop considerably.
