How to sign up for Google Search with AI features?

During the recent Google I/O keynote, Google introduced initial generative AI capabilities in Google Search. This experimental feature offers AI-driven responses and resource links, accessible through a waitlist for testing on Chrome or the Google app.

How do you join the Search Generative Experience?

• To experience the Search Generative feature, open Chrome and go to labs.withgoogle.com or tap the beaker icon in the Google app.
• Go to the “Available in Labs” section, find the Google Search banner, and click “Learn more” for additional details.
• If you’re not presently signed in to your Google Account, click “Sign in” to continue.
• Once you’ve successfully signed in, click the button labeled “Join waitlist.

How does the AI-driven Google Search operate?

During the conference, Google demonstrated the Search Generative Experience (SGE) by querying, “what’s better for a family with kids under 3 and a dog, Bryce Canyon or Arches.” Instead of traditional blue links, a generative AI block displayed on the search results page provided a detailed and conversational answer. Notably, it highlighted that both parks restrict dogs on unpaved trails but mentioned two paved trails in Bryce Canyon allowing dogs. This allowed users to get the information directly on the Search page without visiting other sites.

Beneath the AI-generated response, Google offers interaction options like pre-written follow-up questions and the ability to craft custom follow-ups. Choosing any of these prompts initiates a new conversational mode, maintaining context from the initial question. Essentially, users can engage in a comprehensive conversation with Google Search.

Moreover, for product searches, Google’s latest generative AI shopping experience delivers a summarized overview of essential considerations and relevant product recommendations. It also provides access to product descriptions, recent reviews, ratings, prices, images, and more, facilitating the decision-making process.
