Google Search Generative Experience (SGE) is Google’s AI-powered search experience that enhances search results using generative AI. Instead of just showing a list of links, SGE provides AI-generated summaries, contextual answers, and interactive experiences at the top of search results.
How Google SGE Works
SGE is designed to change how users interact with Google Search by:
- Generating AI-powered summaries for complex queries.
- Providing contextual follow-ups to refine searches.
- Enhancing shopping searches with AI-driven product recommendations.
- Delivering interactive answers instead of simple blue links.
For example, instead of searching for “best laptops for video editing”, clicking multiple links, and gathering information manually, SGE generates a concise AI-powered response summarizing the best options, key specs, and price comparisons.
