At the time, Pichai issued a rallying cry, asking for "every Googler to help shape Bard and contribute through a special company-wide dogfood," referring to the practice of using its own product before launching it. In December, shortly after OpenAI released ChatGPT to the public, Google executives warned that they had to be deliberate in introducing AI search tools because the company has much more "reputational risk" and is moving "more conservatively than a small startup."
