Google is revamping its Search feature to incorporate a conversational, AI-driven approach, as announced at the Google I/O 2026 keynote. Users will have the option to engage with AI agents for notifications and receive AI Overviews in search results.
At the Google I/O 2026 keynote, Google revealed significant changes to its Search functionality, marking the biggest upgrade since its inception over 25 years ago.
