Google is shifting its search service from a list of links to a conversational AI interface. The overhaul redesigns the search box, in place for more than 25 years, to handle longer and more complex questions. Users can interact with AI based on their query, upload photos and videos, and ask follow-up questions from the main page. Google is adding agent features and a generative UI built with Gemini.

Google has unveiled its AI image-generation model \'Nano Banana 2\' (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image), TechCrunch reported on Feb. 26. The model can generate images in various aspect ratios from 512px up to 4K and can express up to five characters and 14 objects. It will be used as the default model across Gemini image modes and Flow, and as Google Search’s default image generator in 141 countries. API support is also expanding.
