Google also announced a new design for AI Overviews that brings links into
the summary and make it easier for users to access the websites they are looking for.

Lens major AI updates include a new Voice Search and Video Search, giving you even more ways to use Googles eyes to do your online searching. Google says youll be able to upload videos directly to Lens and ask AI about moving objects.

Googles example is a trip to the aquarium where you upload a video of the
fish in a tank and ask, Why are they swimming together? Lens can then produce an AI overview with all the information you need.

Voice Search will act similarly, allowing you to converse with Lens in a way that's similar to ChatGPTs Advanced Voice Mode and Gemini Live . New ways to interact with Lens are not the only AI updates coming to the platform, however.

Google is adding a significant shopping update that will let you take
pictures of products out in the wild and quickly get a new results page with key information on the product and which retailers you can buy it from. All
of these updates to Google Lens are now available globally in the Google app for Android and iOS. (Image credit: Google) Circle to Search for everyone (Image credit: Google)
