Conclusion

Google Bard is a great companion that speeds up prototyping and boosts out productivity. I'm impressed by the quality of the result. They appear good-looking and well-organized. However, at the moment, the outcome is still in the early stage and requires some manual rework before being able to actually use in our laboratory. The challenges saw that it is excellent for minor problems but lacks for those requiring more context interpretation.
