In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have enabled incredible advances in conversational AI. Tech giants and startups alike are leveraging LLMs to create chatbots and voice assistants that feel increasingly human. Here are 4 major players in the conversational AI space:

OpenAI and ChatGPT

Founded in 2015, OpenAI is a leading artificial intelligence research lab based in San Francisco. Their chatbot ChatGPT launched in November 2022 and immediately went viral. ChatGPT showcases astonishing natural language abilities and knowledge about a wide range of topics. While not perfect, ChatGPT marks a major leap towards human-like conversation.

Google entered the chatbot race in february 2023 with Bard, leveraging their own large language model called LaMDA. While details are still limited, Bard aims to provide helpful, high-quality responses to natural language questions and conversations. Early demos suggest Bard has strong knowledge and language skills, though may lack ChatGPT's imagination. Check out Bard at: https://bard.google.com/u/1/
