New AI Search Features from Google Expected Soon - Announced at Google I/O

At Google I/O, it was revealed that AI Overviews would debut in the US this week, along with several other AI-driven search enhancements slated for release in Google Search and Google Search Labs. These advancements encompass customizable AI Overviews, multi-step reasoning, planning capabilities, AI-curated search outcomes, and video-enabled Lens search.

Adjust AI Overview

In Google Search Labs, you'll have the option to fine-tune your AI Overview by either "simplifying" the language or "delving deeper" into the details. Choosing "simplify" will streamline the content for beginners, while opting to "break it down" will provide a more comprehensive exploration of the topic.

Multi-Step Reasoning

This feature enables you to pose your most intricate questions, encompassing all nuances and subtleties, and Google will furnish comprehensive results. There's no need for multiple searches or selecting "break it down."

For instance, if you're seeking a new yoga or pilates studio that's favored by locals, conveniently situated for your commute, and provides discounts for new members, Google showcased how this feature seamlessly caters to such multifaceted inquiries.

Planning

Google is deeply committed to assisting you in organizing various aspects of your life, extending beyond just vacations to encompass meals and more. Leveraging Gemini and Search, Google can aid in crafting plans tailored to your needs. While initially focusing on meals and vacations, Google plans to expand its support to include parties, date nights, and workouts in the near future (available in US English Search Labs as well). For instance, by searching for phrases like "create a 3-day meal plan for a group that's easy to prepare," you'll receive detailed, step-by-step plans. Additionally, you can customize parts of the plan and easily export them to Gmail or Google Docs.

AI-Organized Search Results Page

Google employs AI to structure the search results page, grouping results under distinct, AI-generated headlines that encompass a diverse array of perspectives and content types, as described by Google.

This feature is set to debut in Google Search (not in labs) later this year, initially focusing on dining and recipes for US English results. Subsequently, Google will expand its coverage to include movies, music, books, hotels, shopping, and beyond.

Lens Search with Video

Google is also experimenting with "Lens search with video" in Google Search Labs. This feature allows you to record a video and pose questions about its content while recording, with Google providing responses.

This will also launch as a Search Labs feature later this year.
