Google announced a major expansion of its AI chatbot tool, giving it the ability to access users’ personal information from Google Workspace apps like Gmail, Docs and Drive. While promising greater convenience and requiring users to opt-in, the integration also raises concerns about privacy.

Google says it has taken privacy and security into consideration before rolling the feature out.

New Bard Extensions allow the chatbot to search within a user’s Google accounts to provide personalized responses tailored to their data.

“With Extensions, Bard can find and show you relevant information from the Google tools you use every day — like Gmail, Docs, Drive, Google Maps, YouTube, and Google Flights and hotels,” said Yury Pinsky, Director of Product Management for Bard, in an official blog post.

For instance, Bard could draft a cover letter using details from a resume stored on Google Drive. Or it could scan your inbox to find travel details and automatically gather flight/hotel info into a trip planning document. Instead of using technical words and instructions, users can ask Bard in natural language to look for specific information like, “What did Anna say about our product meeting last Saturday?” Or, “What did John Doe find in his experiment?” Google will reply based on the contents of your emails or documents stored in Google Drive.
