So there are whole new use cases coming into search. We find for queries where we trigger AI overviews, we see query growth, and the growth continues over time. Getting the feedback from AI overviews, recently we are testing it in labs. There's a whole new dedicated AI experience called AI Mode coming to Search. We'll speak about it more at Google I.O.

And in AI mode, you can have a full-on AI experience in search, including follow-on conversational queries. And we're bringing our cutting-edge models there, where the models are actually working to answer your questions using search as a real native tool. And there the queries, people are typing in queries, like literally long paragraphs, right?

And there the queries, people are typing in queries, like literally long paragraphs, right?

The average query length is somewhere two to three times is what we see in search as it existed two years ago. So we are seeing people respond. In search is always from the outside, people look at it and say, search kind of looks easy to do. The craft of search is very hard. Over two decades, I think we've had a real North star of understanding what users want in search.

And you've been here, we are kind of a very metrics-driven company. We kind of know what works, users are our North Star. And empirically, we see that people are engaging more and using the product more, right? So all that. To your question about innovators' dilemma, I think, The dilemma only exists if you treat it as a dilemma, right?

Like, you know, say for me, all along in technology, you have these massive periods of innovation and you lean into it as hard as you can. It's the only way to do it. You know, when mobile came, everyone was like, well, you know, it's like, you're not going to have the real estate, like how will ads work, all that stuff. You know, mobile was a transition which ended up working great.

I can give great examples, right? Like TikTok has come in. YouTubers thrived since the moment TikTok has come in, right? And it was a whole new format. We did Shorts. When we launched Shorts, Shorts absolutely didn't monetize anywhere near long form. But we just leaned into the user experience and over time we figured out monetization to follow.

So to me, you don't think about it as a dilemma because users, you have to innovate to stay ahead and you kind of lean in that direction.

You know, in search, you know, Maybe the most widely used in AI product today might be search with AI overviews, right? People are using it intensely. Obviously, we have a standalone Gemini app. I think we are making progress there, particularly with the introduction of Gemini 2.5 Pro. We have seen a real uptake and engagement and usage growth in the product.

We have a lot more to come just in the last, Few weeks, we have shipped deep research and updated Canvas, audio overviews. You can now go and do video generation with VO2 straight in the Gemini app on Android phones with Gemini Live. You can screen share. It can talk to what's on your screen. So there's a lot coming that way, and users are responding.

Look, ChatGPT has obviously had phenomenal success, but I think it's still early days and we are definitely seeing traction, seeing growth. To me, what matters is if you innovate, are users responding and using it more? That seems to be the case. It's in our hands to continue innovating. I think it's a fiercely competitive moment.
