Google Generative AI: A step-by-step guide on how to enable and use it

Search experience on Google has been revolutionised after the tech giant introduced its Generative AI feature. The Google Generative AI search is a first-of-its-kind feature that uses the properties of artificial intelligence to improve one's search experience. The Search Generative Experience (SGE) uses AI-backed capabilities to present more relevant and contextual information. Google launched it four months ago and it’s rolling out new updates.

In a recent blog the tech giant said, “When you’re researching something new, or looking for an explanation of a concept, you might come across a term you don't understand or just might want more information about. To make this easier, we will soon roll out improvements to our AI-generated responses for various topics or questions related to science, economics, history and more.”
