Google Conversational Search can update results while you speak

Android informant, AssemblyDebuggingrecently went to X to share a screen recording of a potential Google feature: conversational search. The demo shows how the search engine responds to a user’s voice queries in real time, updating results as the user speaks. Although voice typing is already a Google feature, it is not currently integrated with artificial intelligence to allow questions and answers in real time.

The source says Google is currently experimenting with this feature and may release it soon, although we don’t have details on when exactly. If launched, this will likely be an exclusive feature for mobile devices.

2024 is a big year for online AI agents and specialized AI tools to answer your queries in the most human way possible. The ability to retain memory and understand context are some of the features that these AI tools boast of. This means that you can ask him follow-up questions after the initial request and he will remember and understand what you are talking about. The screen recording shows “Where is the Taj Mahal?” as the first query and “Why was this built?” as a third question demonstrating a more conversational interaction.

Conversational Search is not much different from other AI tools using Gemini AI or ChatGPT. The convenience here lies in direct integration with search results.

It’s clear that Google is struggling to keep its search engine relevant given the sudden surge in AI chatbots. The final threat is Search OpenAI ChatGPT which promises to provide a natural language interface with timely responses and updated query results.

Google has already suffered from excessive affiliate marketing and authority-chasing SEO sites. Search results recently it got worse. The addition of Gemini AI reviews has changed traditional search, disappointing many users. It remains to be seen whether conversational search will improve or further hinder the app’s usability.

Many users complain that the search engine is in such poor shape that they have to end their queries with “Reddit” to find “real” results, avoiding text containing affiliate links or AI-generated articles. Despite the rise of generative AI bots, no one has yet successfully surpassed Google. But it’s understandable why Google is trying to future-proof its search engine.
