Google Search gets more great improvements. They are related to artificial intelligence

When Google launched AI overviews in Search for Czech users last May, it was a fairly significant milestone. Now, another evolution is coming – the search giant announced that AI overviews worldwide are powered by the Gemini 3 model, which the company introduced last November. Along with this, it also brings a smoother transition between a quick answer and a deeper conversation.

Gemini 3 as the new engine for AI overviews

The Gemini 3 model is becoming the default for AI overviews across all supported markets. In practice, this means that when you enter a more complex query into Google Search, you will get an answer generated by this model. Google promises that this is the best AI answer directly on the search results page – of course, only for queries where it makes sense.

The second new feature is a smoother transition into conversation. Directly from an AI overview, you can now ask a follow-up question and switch to AI Mode, which allows you to have a back-and-forth dialogue with artificial intelligence. According to Google, users in tests preferred this approach – the ability to start with a quick answer and, if necessary, continue with a deeper conversation without losing the context of the original query.

How it works in practice

According to Google, the entire experience is designed to be seamless and unified. For simple queries, such as a match score or weather forecast, you’ll get a quick answer. For more complex topics, an AI overview will be displayed with the option to continue the conversation. Links to source websites remain included, so you can verify information or explore the topic in depth.

The new AI Mode transition feature is currently available on mobile devices worldwide. Google has not yet specified if or when it will arrive on desktop.

What this means for websites and their traffic

With every improvement to AI overviews, the question of the impact on website traffic reopens. If users get a comprehensive answer directly in search, the motivation to click through to the source website logically decreases – and I myself have felt this quite significantly in recent months. For online media that rely on advertising revenue, this can pose a problem – and the better the AI overviews are, the more pressing this problem becomes.

While Google emphasizes that links to sources remain part of AI overviews, the reality is that a quick and concise answer reduces the need for further clicking.
