Google’s new AI app searches ‘anything,’ including your PC

Google is testing a new experimental search app for Windows that allows users to search their local files, installed apps, Google Drive files, and the web without switching windows. The app, called "Google app for Windows," is currently available only to U.S. users through the Google Labs program. The app features an AI element that allows users to enable "AI Mode" to leverage the app's AI capabilities. Additionally, users can use the app to search for information by allowing it to "see" what's being displayed on the screen and ask questions about it. The new search app aims to provide a seamless experience by allowing users to search for information without interrupting their workflow, whether they're writing in a document or in the middle of a game. However, it's unclear whether the app will surface results from third-party apps like Slack or if it will only search for files associated with the keyword.
