Google has unveiled a powerful new format in AI mode designed to enhance user experiences.
The AI Max feature utilizes Gemini technology to provide personalized responses based on user’s search, helping users discover products that align with their preferences based on their very descriptive search term.

As users search for products that match their preferences and needs, AI mode offers tailored recommendations, compares available options, and presents ads for relevant products.

By letting AI handle much of the research process, the experience can also save users time while fostering deeper engagement and understanding of consumer needs.
UPDATE: This ad format is officially called “Conversational Discovery,” as noted here.
