Google launched Web Guide, an AI-powered search feature that reorganizes search results. It uses a custom version of Google's Gemini AI model to process queries, grouping links and generating related questions. Currently available as a test in Search Labs, Web Guide is accessible within the "Web" tab, offering an alternative to AI Overviews. The feature pulls together results from various sources, including educational websites, YouTube, Quora, and Reddit.

Web Guide aims to improve search organization and provide helpful summaries. While praised for returning some elements of traditional search, some aspects of the AI-generated descriptions have been criticized as unnecessary. The feature allows users to ask more detailed questions, with the AI attempting to address different parts of the query. Google plans to expand Web Guide's availability to the "All" tab.

Impact Statement: Web Guide's launch signifies Google's continued investment in AI-driven search enhancements, potentially altering user experience and search result presentation.
