Google Bard can help you write and debug code

We are still finding out the full potential of generative AI and how it could help people. As you know, Google has its own AI chatbot that you’re able to try out now. This chatbot, named Bard, can do a lot of stuff, as Google gave it the ability to debug code.

If you’re still curious about Google Bard, we have some content that will get you started off. We have Everything You Need To Know About Bard and we also have Bard vs. Bing AI. Also, you can check out our editorial about how Bard and Bing AI just aren’t proper ChatGPT alternatives.

Google Bard can help write and debug code

When we found out that ChatGPT could write actual code, we were all dumbfounded. Well, Google Bard can also do that, but the company is looking to crank that capability up to 11. According to a blog post released today, Google Bard will offer several services that will help you write code.

This approach is meant to be much more substantial than what we see with ChatGPT. Yes, Bard can generate code for you, but it’s focusing more on helping learn and grow as programmers so that they won’t need AI in the future.

Google will help you in more than 20 programming languages including C++, Python, Java, Javascript, Go, and Typescript. This means that the code you’re learning is pretty much covered.

So, as stated, Bard can generate code for you. Just ask it what you want it to generate and you’ll get a response. You can also paste in your own code and ask it to make alterations. What’s neat is that you can easily export the generated code to your Google Colab.

This feature comes in handy when you want it to debug code for you. If you’re writing code, and you want to check it for errors. That’s a handy tool if you’re looking to double-check your work.

Google still wants to teach you

The most notable thing about this update is that Bard will actually teach you about the code you’re working on. It will explain why the code works or doesn’t work rather than just writing it out for you. This gives you the ability to learn about coding.

This is crucial, as it can be tempting for people with no coding background to rely on AI to generate code for them. However, without knowing the fundamentals of programming and just typing in requests, a person could have a much harder time making a proper and stable app.

Google updated Bard with this capability today, so you can access it now.
