Google Introduces Circle to Search and AI-Powered Multisearch

New features allow users to search directly from their phone screen and receive AI-generated overviews of relevant information.

Google is introducing two major updates to its search capabilities: Circle to Search and an AI-powered multisearch experience.
Circle to Search allows users to select images, text, or videos on their Android phone screen and find information without switching apps.
The AI-powered multisearch experience enables users to point their camera at an object, ask a question, and receive an AI-powered overview of the most relevant information from across the web.
Circle to Search will be launched globally on select premium Android smartphones on January 31, starting with the Pixel 8, the Pixel 8 Pro and the new Samsung Galaxy S24 series.
AI-powered overviews on multisearch results are launching this week in English in the U.S. for everyone, with no enrollment in Search Labs required.
