What is that supposed to do for you? Maybe you want to plan a family outing for the weekend, so you ask search to build an itinerary. In that case, Search can create a UI with event suggestions, reviews, map embeds, and calendar integration. It pulls this data from Google’s platform as well as from around the web. The early demos of search agent dashboards actually show you the code as it’s generated, but Google is most likely going to hide this for the full rollout later this summer. Showing a simplified workflow of chain of thought would avoid confusing the average user who just wants a pretty UI and doesn’t care that it was generated on the spot.
You can revisit and change the dashboard by accessing your AI Mode history in the sidebar. These generated apps can be customized with follow-up prompts, and you can share them with others via a link. The other party can even customize the app to their liking. Currently, there is no way to share those modifications, but that’s something Google is exploring. It may also be possible in the future to manually modify the code of these mini-apps line by line.
Swallowing the Internet whole
The overarching trend here is fewer blue links and more AI-generated everything. Google says the greater efficiency of Gemini 3.5 Flash enables all these new AI experiences, and we can expect more of them in the future. The agentic app generation in particular may benefit from the pending improvements in Gemini 3.5 Pro, which might even be available before everyone gets search agents.
Search’s agentic transformation.
Googlers talk about these moves as a way to more efficiently extract the information people want from webpages that have become weighed down with extraneous text that forces you to scroll past more and more ads. That is a genuine problem with the current state of web content, but Google’s hands aren’t clean. Many websites have ended up in this state only after years of chasing search rank and compensating for low ad rates.
Despite what many see as a decline in Google search quality, the company’s search products remain far and away the primary way people find things online. Even after a year of Google’s AI search overhaul, DuckDuckGo, Bing, Brave, and the rest of the competition continue to be little more than a rounding error. Google appears to take its continued dominance and growth as proof that it’s on the right track with AI.
Google has decided this is how search works, and the rest of us are just along for the ride.
