Big AI news from Google this week.
Their ChatGPT competitor, Bard, is now available for everyone (or will be soon).
I've been testing the prompts and methods from our Prompt Engineering for Customer Success course in Bard and... it's interesting.
Here's the video of my first impressions of Bard.
In the video I test one of our core email prompts in both Bard and ChatGPT to compare the output.
But because I'm me and can't stay on topic, there's a nice little lesson (rant?) in the middle of the video about email engagement in general.
So even if you're not interested in Prompt Engineering, Bard, or ChatGPT, but you rely on email to engage prospects, customers, or partners, you should still watch this video.
Have a great weekend!

BTW: Google also announced at their I/O event that Docs and Gmail will have AI embedded. This AI is called Duet and is more of a "copilot" version of Bard that is always available across their end-user apps.
We don't have access to Duet yet, but that will be a game-changer for sure.
For now, check out how Bard compares to ChatGPT.

TL;DR: We're running "Save Customers Now!" workshops again—PLG on April 15 and Enterprise on April 17. Stop churn immediately in Q2. I just got this email from a CS leader: "Lincoln, I'm freaking out. With everything going on—economic uncertainty, customers tightening budgets, chaos everywhere—churn is gonna hit us HARD in Q2. Are you doing another 'Save Customers' workshop soon? Fingers crossed." Bad news: I've heard similar messages from several CS leaders already. Good news: "Save...
