I got the same message with my regular Google account. What is a workspace account and which type of account do I need to use Google Bard?

You need an @gmail.com account.

Whether you agree with it or not, the EU has proved itself to take consistently anti-big US tech stances, so I can see why they might be deterred from releasing to that market without obvious financial benefits.

chatgpt didn't have geographical limitations when it came out, greatly aiding its virality.

Yes it did, and it still does. It's allowed in most countries, and is much better than bard, but it's not perfect. https://platform.openai.com/docs/supported-countries

I do not understand why Google makes it so difficult to pay them for a custom email domain.

To be fair, the beta, invite-only status of GMail was, at the time, the definition of Internet Cool.

Gmail was so much better than the competition... in fact, it still is. Bard, on the other hand...

Sure, when it launched. But in 2023? I don't think there is a single feature that makes Gmail that special anymore. I would have preferred Outlook over Gmail these days anytime.

These limited closed betas seem to really kill hype on a lot of their products, which leads to them not having a lot of use, then google killing them...

Imagine your company had 2 B users. Would you launch a new compute-intensive experimental feature to everyone? or would you put a mechanism to control the gradual rollout?

Ask Microsoft. I heard they pulled it off

I'm using paid Google account, so I'm getting that this isn't available. Makes sense, I'm already a customer, no reason to keep me as such, right?

Your paid account has an agreement not to use your data to improve the service for others. This is an experiment the purpose of which is to collect usage data to improve the service. What's confusing about that?

Confusing arouses when no one at Google tells the user.

I have, that's what I was trying to say.

Yes. I used one from Italy to get in the waitlist. Don't know how the rest will unfold.

I was allowed in after about 6 hours.

If anybody comes across this. I started seeing "not supported in your country" after two days of use.
