According to reports, Google is planning to release new search tools powered by artificial intelligence (AI) next month. These tools are expected to enhance the search experience by leveraging advanced AI technologies to provide more accurate and relevant search results for users. With the continuous advancement of AI, Google is constantly exploring ways to improve its search capabilities and offer more intelligent and personalized search results to its users. The upcoming release of these new AI-powered search tools is anticipated to further enhance Google’s search capabilities and provide users with even more valuable and efficient search results.
The new functionalities will only be accessible in the US and will first be made available to a limit of one million users, according to The New York Times.
The exact details of the tools are not yet clear, but they are expected to leverage the conversational capabilities seen in Google’s experimental Bard chatbot. These tools are currently being developed under the codename “Magi.”
In case you didn’t know, Bard is a generative AI from Google similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Bing chatbot. However, during its early access announcement, Google said that the roll-out will be slow and it doesn’t have a date for full public access.

The New York Times reports that Samsung is considering making Bing the default search engine on its mobile devices in place of Google because Google’s dominance is so threatened. Although it’s unclear how seriously Samsung is considering the switch, this deal is expected to be worth $3 billion in annual income to Google (the business has a comparable deal with Apple worth approximately $20 billion). The corporation may have been persuaded by Microsoft’s AI efforts, but it’s also possible that it was just capitalizing on Google’s moment of vulnerability.
Apart from the new features being developed under the project name Magi, Google is reportedly also planning a more extensive overhaul of its search engine. However, The Times has mentioned that there is currently no specific timeline for the release of the new search technology.
Other AI tools that Google is allegedly developing include a language learning program called Tivoli Tutor, an AI image generator called GIFI, and a function called Searchalong that would incorporate a chatbot into Google’s Chrome browser to respond to queries about the current web page. This is comparable to the Bing AI sidebar for Microsoft’s Edge browser.
