"As OpenAI goes into "Code Red" over competitive pressures, Google announced it has begun testing a new feature that merges its AI Overviews with AI Mode in Search. That means that users who are provided with the now common, AI-generated snapshot of key information on a topic or question above their search results can choose to go deeper by asking follow-up questions in a conversational interface."
"However, accessing the experience so far has required you to think ahead about what type of question you were preparing to search for. If it were a more traditional search query, or one where you could expect to get a quick answer, you'd likely stick with typing into the search box as usual. But if you expected to ask more questions or explore a topic in more detail, you'd have to click over to the AI Mode tab to start chatting with the AI instead."
Google is testing a feature that merges AI Overviews with AI Mode in Search, allowing users to move from AI-generated snapshots to conversational follow-ups. AI Mode launched to U.S. users in May and globally in August, enabling back-and-forth chats with Gemini similar to ChatGPT. Previously, users had to choose between typing traditional queries or opening the separate AI Mode tab for extended exploration. The new test allows mobile users globally to seamlessly continue from a Search results AI Overview into an AI Mode conversation, acknowledging that information-seeking often evolves from simple queries to deeper inquiry.
