  Google just announced a major change to how Search will work. This will have an increasingly significant impact on how buyers will find your brand. Here is what Google announced at I/O today: Step 1: The user does a total brain dump of what they want to stay updated on. Step

  Expect Google search clicks to continue falling. The features that Google announced today give more reasons to use Google search but less reasons to go to websites. [image]

  Excited for the annual interviews about to drop where Sundar Pichai explains how much he loves websites — more than one billion sites indexed each day — and that's why Google is effectively kneecapping all traffic to most sites today with the biggest Search update since launch.

  Google's Liz Reid says agentic updates are good for websites because it'll reach the most obsessive people...and says it while showing AI Overview/Search pulling the most important information from said article and displaying it inside Google, where ads will move to!

  Today we are starting to roll out the biggest upgrade to the Google Search box in over 25 years — now completely reimagined with AI, along with Gemini 3.5 Flash as the new default model for AI mode users globally! [video]

  Man, I know it's been happening for a hot minute, but it's a real bummer that the company that effectively created the open web is so dead set on killing it, all while benefitting from the inescapable monopoly it's built over the last quarter century.

• @dearmadisonblue @dearmadisonblue on x

  Google is gonna get attacked for this but it's absolutely the right decision. Of every major company, Google has the most reason to use language models. They invented the transformer!! Organizing the world's information is literally their mission statement

• @iwatchiam Olivia Truffaut-Wong on x

  It's truly bonkers that Google can build an AI that doesn't work, change the algorithm to make it seem successful, and simultaneously decimate the media industry.

• @garrettkidney Garrett Kidney on x

  Google search was one of the most simple, effective and successful products of the 21st century and to see the way Google have steadily deteriorated it over the last decade is astonishing.

• @lvlstothis @lvlstothis on x

  @Phil_Lewis_ What happens to the millions of websites that depend on Google SEO to even get their sites seen? Especially recipe and food blogs. This essentially makes so many sites obsolete after they've spent years playing Googles game to rise higher in search results. So awful.

  Agentic coding via antigravity is being incorporated into the search box and will write code live to answer your questions. Interactive displays to answer specific questions. [image]

• @duckduckgo @duckduckgo on x

  On this side, user choice matters. All AI features at DuckDuckGo are optional and links aren't going anywhere on our search engine. (We also don't spy on you, but that's a whole other thing.)

  Google just announced agentic coding in search. Based on your search, Gemini processes your ask, decides whether it should build a new interface, reasons through the steps, and creates a personalized interface for you. It's powered by Antigravity. Sort of like artifacts. [image]
