TL;DR
- Google is adding a new “Ask” button to web search results on its Android app.
- The button basically opens AI Mode with the webpage added as context, so you can ask specific questions.
- Along with this, Google is also testing attachment options for Files and Drive in AI Mode.
Have you ever tapped a link from Google Search results, and then immediately encountered something else you wanted to search for? Unless you use Chrome (or another Android web browser) to open Google search results in new tabs, you’d know how jarring it is when you hastily open another search sequence and basically end up overwriting the previous search. Thankfully, Google is finally looking to solve that issue with a new feature.
In addition to the new Search experience supercharged with AI, Google is working on a new “Ask” feature in the custom tab window that opens when you tap a Google Search listing.
