Overview
- Robby Stein, Google Search VP, announced a global mobile test that lets users jump from an AI summary into a conversational interface without leaving the results page.
- Tapping to expand a summary opens a dedicated prompt so users can ask follow-up questions in the same screen rather than switching interfaces.
- Google has not provided a timeline for general availability, describing this as an experiment that could run for months before any wider release.
- The chat experience is powered by Gemini models, and Google is expanding Gemini 3 Pro to nearly 120 countries and territories for English users.
- Publishers could see more queries resolved in AI responses if this flow becomes standard, and Google notes the scale of these experiences already spans hundreds of millions to billions of users.
