"Google may be testing a new format for AI Overviews in the search results. This one does not have the AI Overview label on the AI Overview, plus it seems to combine knowledge panel features. The cards on the right side are not in a list view but rather a card stack view. This was spotted by Brodie Clark who posted on X and SERPalert. Here is what the new one looks like - I cannot replicate this:"
"The cards on the right side are not in a list view but rather a card stack view. This was spotted by Brodie Clark who posted on X and SERPalert. Here is what the new one looks like - I cannot replicate this: Here is a standard/normal AI Overview for the sam\e query: Here is his video of this in action: As a reminder, Google did say they are testing changes to AI Mode and AI Overviews to encourgae more clicks."
Google may be testing a new AI Overview format that omits the AI Overview label and appears to combine knowledge panel features. The right-side information appears as stacked cards rather than a vertical list, changing the visual presentation and interaction. A user posted images and a video on X and SERPalert showing the new layout, and the poster could not reproduce the result on their own account. Google previously confirmed experiments with AI Mode and AI Overviews aimed at increasing clicks; the observed layout could represent one of those experiments. The change may aim to drive more user engagement with the right-side panel.
