Google Search now delivers Gemini 3‑powered AI Overviews that provide richer answers and let users continue the conversation instantly. The upgrade makes Gemini 3 the default model for all AI‑generated summaries and adds an in‑place “Ask follow‑up” button, enabling a smooth transition from a quick answer to a full‑screen chat without leaving the search results page.
Gemini 3 Upgrade Overview
The new Gemini 3 model powers both static AI Overviews and the interactive AI Mode, unifying the experience under a single, high‑performance engine. Users see more detailed, well‑structured answers at the top of their results, while the underlying model delivers stronger reasoning and longer context handling.
In‑Place Follow‑Up Feature
Directly beneath each AI Overview, a “Ask follow‑up” button launches AI Mode in the same window. This preserves the original query context, removes the need to switch tabs, and creates a continuous dialogue that feels natural and efficient.
Key Benefits for Users
- Faster answers: Gemini 3 generates more accurate and comprehensive summaries.
- Seamless conversation: The follow‑up button keeps the interaction within the search page.
- Consistent performance: One model powers both overview and chat, ensuring uniform quality across devices.
- Global mobile availability: The feature rolls out to mobile users worldwide, with desktop support arriving soon.
Technical Highlights
Gemini 3 introduces a larger context window, refined language generation, and optimized inference speed. By consolidating the “Flash” and “Pro” variants into a single default, Google simplifies backend architecture and reduces latency for both short‑form answers and extended conversations.
