Although Google Bard is the only one of Google's AI models that's generally available, the company has many different projects under wraps that have the capability of transforming your entire workflow, helping you generate music, and more. Although these projects haven't been released yet, the good news is you can try them out via Google Labs. 

Google Labs is Google's platform where users can test out the company's early ideas for features and products, and provide feedback that affects whether the experiments are deployed and what changes are made before they are released.

Currently available on Google Labs are some of the company's latest projects, including: Search Labs, Google's new Search with AI; Workspace Labs, the AI-infused Google Workspace; Notebook LM, Google's first AI notebook; and MusicLM, Google's first AI music generator. 

Many of the experiments require you to enroll on a waitlist in Google Labs, and once you get off the list, you are able to start tinkering with Google's latest technology. 

How to join Google Labs' waitlists 

If you're interested, you can sign up for Google Labs' different waitlists today. Here's how.
