Google has started testing a new design in Google Search that connects AI Overviews with AI Mode in one simple flow. The goal is to make search feel easy by keeping short answers and deeper chats on the same screen. The new test adds a “Dive deeper in AI Mode” button under the AI Overview on mobile results.
Earlier, users had to decide if a question needed normal search or AI Mode. The new setup keeps everything in one place. A short AI snapshot appears first. A deeper chat with Gemini AI opens only if someone wants to continue the topic.
Robby Stein, who leads product for Google Search, said this update is meant to make search feel natural. His message explained that people should not worry about choosing tabs or tools. A question should flow from a quick answer into a longer conversation without extra steps.
The test is live across the world but only on mobile. Google has not shared plans for desktops yet. The company wants to study how people interact with this setup before making wider changes.
Gemini AI powers the chat inside AI Mode. Gemini has grown fast because of its better reasoning and support for long and complex follow-up questions. By linking Gemini AI to AI Overviews, Google aims to increase the time people spend exploring topics inside Google Search.
This move may also change traffic patterns for websites. More answers now appear inside the AI sections, which may reduce clicks to publishers. SEO experts expect that clear and well-organized content will gain more value as Google relies more on AI to build summaries and responses.
Furthermore, Google is running a pilot project on advertisements in AI Overview and AI Mode. This could bring new ways for the brands to get visibility in AI results. Marketers may need to adjust their strategies as AI answers become a key part of Google Search.
The test arrives during strong competition in AI search. Major rivals continue to build chat-based search tools. Google aims to stay ahead by blending traditional search with a simple, conversational style. A final rollout date has not been shared, but this test signals a major shift in how search may work in the future.
