Google's Bard AI chatbot can now scan Gmail, Docs, and Drive to help users find information, eliminating the need to sift through emails and documents. The new integration allows Bard to summarize emails and highlight important points in documents.

Bard's extensions also include connections with Maps, YouTube, and Google Flights, enabling users to access real-time flight information, find attractions, and surface YouTube videos. Google plans to expand Bard's integrations to more products and partners in the future. Additionally, Google has introduced improvements such as a "Google It" button to verify Bard's answers and the ability to continue conversations based on shared links.
