Google has begun testing “Search Live,” a new feature that embeds real-time, back-and-forth voice conversations inside the Google Search app’s AI Mode. The experiment, available through the company’s Search Labs program, lets users speak questions and receive spoken responses from Google’s generative AI without leaving the search interface. The initial rollout is limited to audio interactions, with no camera support, and it presents source links on-screen so users can tap through for more information. Industry observers say the conversational format could reduce traditional web traffic, underscoring the growing influence of generative AI on search and search-engine optimization strategies.
