Google tests paginated follow-up questions in AI Mode

Google is testing a new interface within its AI Mode that introduces paginated follow-up questions and answers. This update features a skip button, allowing users to bypass suggested intermediate steps in a conversational flow.

This testing suggests a shift in search engine logic, moving from a traditional input-response model toward a guided search dialogue. In this new format, the AI attempts to anticipate the next step in a user's inquiry by generating new search directions or conversation paths based on previous interactions, effectively merging search functionality with chatbot and decision-assistant capabilities.
