Google's original answer to ChatGPT. Bard was rushed to market after ChatGPT's viral launch, famously losing Google $100B in market cap after a factual error in its first demo. It was killed and rebranded as Gemini in February 2024.

Collateral damage: Early Bard conversation history and saved responses were not migrated to Gemini.
