Google presented a new AI-powered search experience at Google I/O, positioning search as an AI assistant that understands context, converses, and performs tasks for users. The update centers on a redesigned search box using Gemini 3.5 Flash, replacing the classic keyword-and-links model with real-time smart suggestions.

Instead of settling for text, users will be able to upload files, photos, videos, and even use open tabs in Chrome as part of the search. Concurrently, Google is expanding the integration of AI overviews and allowing users to continue asking follow-up questions while fully maintaining the context - both on mobile and on desktop."
"But behind the new user experience hides a deeper change: Fewer visits to websites and more direct answers within Google itself. Instead of clicking on links, the user receives an immediate summary that relies on information from content sites across the web. Google claims that the system will assist websites in reaching new audiences, but for"
