Google has introduced a new AI feature called Web Guide that organizes search results into helpful categories. The tool is currently available for users who opt into the test on Google Search Labs.
Web Guide uses Google’s AI model, Gemini, to break down search queries and group links into relevant sections. Instead of just showing the usual list of blue links, Web Guide offers an AI-generated summary and sorts results under clear headings.
For example, a search for “how to care for a mango tree” shows categories like “Mango Tree Care in Specific Climates” and “Troubleshooting Mango Tree Issues.”
The new feature places two relevant links at the top of the page, followed by categorized results from trusted sources like university websites, YouTube, Reddit, and Quora. Google has used content from Reddit for AI training after signing a $60 million deal last year.
While Web Guide brings back familiar elements of traditional search, such as showing links first, some users find the AI-generated descriptions under categories a bit unnecessary or obvious.
Web Guide can also handle more complex questions by addressing multiple parts of the query in its results.
Users can try Web Guide now by turning on the feature in Search Labs. Google plans to expand it to the main “All” tab in the future.
