Google is working to integrate Bard AI chatbots in ChromeOS, according to a report by foreign tech media outlet 9to5Google. Google plans to introduce an experimental feature called “Conversational Search” in ChromeOS that will provide a ChatGPT-like interactive chat experience.
The media believes that Google will invite users to test ChromeOS in the future by means of an experimental flag, which is translated as follows.
"Launcher experiment: conversational search. Evaluate the feasibility of conversational search as part of the launcher search."
ChromeOS, with this experimental Flag enabled, will ditch the launcher’s built-in search functionality (searching for files, apps, and the web) and instead offer Bard’s chat interface. Things are still a work in progress, so it’s possible that this design will change before release.
Bard on Chromebooks will appear as a separate page from the ChromeOS bubble launcher — just like Google Assistant does today — with a scrollable conversation history and search bar.
