Googleâs AI-powered Search Generative Experience (SGE) is getting a major new feature: it will be able to summarize articles youâre reading on the web, according to a Google blog post.
SGE can already summarize search results for you so that you donât have to scroll forever to find what youâre looking for, and this new feature is designed to take that further by helping you out after youâve actually clicked a link.
Google says itâs a new feature thatâs starting to roll out Tuesday as âan early experimentâ in its opt-in Search Labs program.
It will be available first in the Google app on Android and iOS, and the company is bringing it to the Chrome browser on desktop âin the days ahead.â
Google is also making it easier to understand SGEâs summaries of coding information.
In the companyâs latest earnings call, CEO Sundar Pichai said that user feedback âhas been very positive so farâ and that âover time this will just be how Search works.â

Don't worry bot, you're still wanted!
This comment was so wholesome it made my day đĽ°
Aww, we still prefer your FOSSsomeness, AutoTL;DR bot! Good bot.
Just as a note for anyone else who's staying away from all things Google, the subscription search service Kagi has a summarizer API and landing page that are free for paid users.
I've found Kagi's results generally vastly better than Google's, and since it's a paid service and not funded by trying to show you ads, they don't track you at all (no search history even, because that'd require building a profile for you). They also allow you to customize how high or low you see results from sites, so you can block stuff you know you won't want to see and raise sites you know will be more relevant.
The plans are pretty reasonably priced at $5 month for 300 searches, $10 for 1000 and $25 for unlimited. The two lower tiers have 1.5¢ / search cost for searches over the monthly limit, and you can set a hard limit for a maximum pay-per-use cost so you don't accidentally run up a larger bill than you'd like. I'm on the $10 plan and I usually have ~$5 pay-per-use per month.
Yeah, let us allow Google once more to tell us what we should see and how we should interpret information. Went so well the last time (ăಠçಠ)ă彥âťââť
Even when people want to read past the headline to consume original non Google content, here's a Google product to make sure you never have to.
If it's summarizing articles, wouldn't that make it reductive AI, not generative?
