At Google I/O, the tech giant announced some long awaited generative AI upgrades to its platforms, including Google Search. The new Search with AI, known as the Search Generative Experience (SGE), will include AI-powered snapshots useful for everyday queries, shopping and more. 

Also: Google ads will be customized for you using generative AI

At the event, Google added that the SGE would be made available in Search Labs, a new program to access early experiments, in the coming weeks. On May 25, Google began rolling out its SGE to users on the waitlist via email. 

How to join the Search Labs waitlist 

If interested, you can sign up for Search Labs' waitlist today. Here's how. 

1. Visit the Search Labs page

Visit the Google Search Labs homepage where you will be given the option to sign up. 

If you see a "Search Labs isn't available for your account right now" error message, it might be because you are signed into a company Gmail account. Once you sign out of your company email, you are ready to move on to the next step.
