Buckle up: Google is set to remake search with agentic AI in 2026

Google is testing a 2026 Search overhaul that uses agentic AI to generate custom itineraries, dashboards, and mini-apps from prompts.

The new experience would pull from Google services and the web, then let users customize, revisit, and share the results.

This marks a shift from blue-link search toward interactive AI outputs, potentially changing how people discover and use information online.

The move could further reinforce Google’s lead as rivals like Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Brave continue to pursue AI-powered search.
