Google integrated its Gemini AI chatbot into its search engine, launching an "AI Mode" offering conversational search experiences. This move, announced at Google's developer conference, aims to counter competition from ChatGPT. The update allows users to ask longer, more complex queries, potentially reducing web browsing time. Google also unveiled plans for new augmented reality glasses, collaborating with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster, to compete with Meta's offerings. These changes, crucial for Google's revenue-generating search business, could fundamentally alter the search engine and its profit model.
