Kettled twice. Extra chewy, extra trustworthy.
Summary
Google has announced a major transformation of its Search engine, moving away from the traditional "ten blue links" format toward an AI-powered experience. The overhaul includes an intelligent search box, AI-driven interactive experiences, autonomous "information agents" that gather data on behalf of users, and tools for building personalized search interfaces. This represents the biggest change to Google Search since the search box debuted over 25 years ago, but could significantly reduce web traffic to publishers as users get answers directly within Google's ecosystem.
