It’s apparent that Google is scrambling to keep its search engine relevant looking at the sudden surge of AI chatbots. Its most recent threat is OpenAI’s ChatGPT Search which is promising to bring a natural language interface with timely answers and updated query results.

You must provide a question or search query to Google by speaking into your device — and Google will provide search results in response. You can then ask follow-up questions and Google Search will update in real-time to provide relevant search results for those queries, too.

Google is working on a conversational version of Google Search that will refresh results in real time as you speak. The unreleased update was shared by Android tinkerer AssembleDebug on X (formerly Twitter), and brings Google Search functionality closer to Gemini Live.

With the rise of generative AI bots, it feels like Google's dominance in web search is under serious threat for the first time in a long time, but Google itself is busy testing new features to help users find information faster.

The Google app is testing a new Activity tab that combines recent searches and saved items. This change is currently rolling out to a limited number of users, with no word on when it will be widely available.
