Google has unveiled a significant update to its search engine, leveraging AI to enhance Google Lens capabilities, enrich search results pages, and introduce AI Overviews with paid ads. This new wave of features promises a more intuitive and informative search experience, while also introducing a new monetization strategy for Google.
Google Lens now allows users to search for information by recording a video. This new feature uses multimodal input to break down the video frame by frame and extract relevant information.
