Where answers are collected

Google AI Mode answers are collected from the “AI Mode” tab of Google Search. Unlike Google Overview, which sits on top of regular search results, AI Mode is a separate screen that shows a single conversational answer with no list of search results.
A prompt entered and an answer received in the Google AI Mode tab

The Google AI Mode screen used for collection. When the prompt is entered, a conversational answer appears instead of search results, and its body and sources are collected.

Collection conditions are as follows.
  • Collection happens without signing in. An account’s search history and personalization settings do not affect the answer.
  • The prompt is entered verbatim. It is not rewritten as a search query or shortened to keywords.
  • Only one prompt is asked in a new conversation. No follow-up questions are asked, so earlier context does not carry over.
  • Region and location are applied by connecting from a network that matches the run request’s region. Whether AI Mode is available at all can vary by region.
Screen elements map to answer object fields as follows.

Model-specific behavior

Fan-out is not provided. fanouts is always an empty array, while the answer body and cited sources are collected normally.
