Google CEO Sundar Pichai urged employees to test the company's AI chat tool, Bard, in response to criticism of slow leadership response to ChatGPT and Microsoft.
Pichai asked employees to spend 2-4 hours testing Bard, with more detailed instructions to come next week.
Pichai reminded employees that Google's most successful products were not necessarily the first to market, but solved important user needs and were built on deep technical insights.
The email follows Google's recent announcement of conversation technology Bard, which faced criticism for a rushed rollout and resulted in a 9% stock price drop.
