End of keyword search? Google introduces AI agents that think, track, and act

Google is reshaping Search into an AI-first experience with agents, multimodal inputs, and longer prompts.

The new features can track ongoing tasks, generate custom interfaces and mini-apps, and even help complete actions like bookings.

Google is also expanding personal-context tools using services like Gmail, Photos, and Calendar, with rollout widening to more countries.

The shift moves Search from keyword lookup toward task completion, sharpening competition with OpenAI, Perplexity, and Microsoft.
