Google has begun testing a new AI-focused interface on its homepage, which has been known for its simple design for many years. In the design being tested, it is notable that the "Google Search" button, which users are accustomed to, is replaced by three new shortcuts that lead directly to AI tools.
The interface, which is reportedly being tested with a limited number of users and through incognito tabs for now, is considered one of the new steps in the company's strategy to reshape the search experience around artificial intelligence.
For years, the Google homepage has stood out with its minimal structure consisting of a search box and a small number of basic options. While the new test does not mean this simple structure will be completely abandoned, it points to a change aimed at allowing users to reach AI-supported features faster instead of classic search.
There is no clear information yet on when the new design will be offered to all users or whether it will remain permanent in its current form after the testing process. However, the trial is among the notable developments showing that the role of artificial intelligence in search engines and daily internet usage is gradually increasing.
