Google is continuing its shift away from traditional link-based search by expanding its AI-powered features, making Search feel more like a conversational chatbot.

The company is upgrading AI Overviews with Gemini 3 and introducing smoother follow-up questions that let users dive deeper without starting a new search.

With the update, users can now move directly from an AI-generated summary into a full conversation using AI Mode. According to Robby Stein, the goal is to give users “a quick snapshot when you need it, and a deeper conversation when you want it.” Switching between Overviews and AI Mode is designed to be simple, requiring little more than scrolling and typing.

Google is also upgrading the intelligence behind AI Overviews. Gemini 3 is now the default model powering AI summaries worldwide, which Stein says will deliver more accurate and higher-quality answers than earlier versions. Previous AI-generated summaries received mixed feedback from users, prompting Google to refine its approach.
