Just ask anything: a seamless new Search experience

People come to Search for an incredibly wide range of questions — sometimes to find information quickly, like a sports score or the weather, where a simple result is all you need. But for complex questions or tasks where you need to explore a topic deeply, you should be able to seamlessly tap into a powerful conversational AI experience.

Today we’re rolling out two upgrades that bring us closer to this vision for Search: the ability to ask whatever’s on your mind — no matter how long or complex — and find exactly what you need. First, we’re making Gemini 3 the new default model for AI Overviews globally, so you get a best-in-class AI response right on the search results page, for questions where it’s helpful. Second, we’re making the transition to a conversation even more seamless. Now, you can easily ask a follow-up question right from an AI Overview, and jump into a conversational back and forth with AI Mode. In our testing, we’ve found that people prefer an experience that flows naturally into a conversation — and that asking follow-up questions while keeping the context from AI Overviews makes Search more helpful.

It’s one fluid experience with prominent links to continue exploring: a quick snapshot when you need it, and deeper conversation when you want it. So next time you have a question, find your nearest Google search bar, and just ask anything.
