Coincidentally, just today, Google released a number of product upgrades, including visualization, interactive search results, AI teachers, customization of exercises, notebook data organization and course notes, etc. The two major traditional search engines have coincidentally released product upgrades of AI in search, education, and office assistants. This is an adjustment strategy made in the context of the outbreak of Agent and its continuous impact on traditional industries. 1.

In the past, people were accustomed to entering a keyword in the search box and using search engines to find relevant information. However, in the AI ​​era, more and more people will search for the urgent problems in their minds. This is not only a change in input length, but also a change in users’ expectations for search results.
