Google has announced it is rolling out generative artificial intelligence (AI) to its core search engine. The move comes after Microsoft incorporated GPT-4 into its Bing search engine earlier this year. Search Generative Experience - which will be part of Google - will craft responses to open-ended queries, the company said.

Google is deepening its push into generative artificial intelligence, introducing features Tuesday that will let users create text in Gmail and Docs using the company’s AI technology. The company is testing the AI products and making them accessible for a limited number of users of Workspace, which includes Gmail and Google’s productivity tools.

Only days ahead of Microsoft’s “Future of Work” event, Google today announced a sweeping update to Workspace that will bring its generative AI models to virtually every part of its productivity suite, in addition to new developer solutions that will make Google’s foundation models, including its 540 billion-parameter PaLM large language model for multiturn chats, available to developers through an API and new low-code tools.

Google today introduced a new feature that combines Android’s guided customization with its advances in generative AI to help people compose more personal messages.
