bard-ai Quick Start

Use this page to just get a glimpse of the power of bard-ai. Make sure you read through the next few pages for a more comprehensive tutorial.

Make sure you read through the Authentication page first, if you haven't already.

To get your first AI output from Bard, copy and paste the following code into your IDE of choice:

import Bard from "bard-ai";
 
let myBard = new Bard(COOKIE);
 
console.log(await myBard.ask("Hello world!"));

Let's walk through what this code is doing:

Import

import Bard from "bard-ai";

Everything in bard-ai is compressed into a singular Bard class, and thus Bard is the only thing you need to import.

Authenticate

let myBard = new Bard(COOKIE);

Next, we need to initialize bard-ai. Create a new Bard instance, and pass in your COOKIE.

Ask Bard!

console.log(await myBard.ask("Hello world!"));

Finally, we use the ask method on Bard to query Google Bard. This method is async, so ensure you use await.

Congratulations! You've made your first request with Bard. Read on for more detailed documentation, including how to use Chats, export conversations, and use Google Lens.
