Google Discover is getting an AI chatbot-tuned feed
Google is updating its Discover feed to allow users to customize content recommendations using a chatbot-style interface. The update also includes new features for Google News audio briefings and a 'Preferred Sources' button for publishers.
Why it matters
This reflects a broader industry trend of using generative AI to give users more granular control over algorithmic content curation.
Google will soon allow you to customize your Discover feed by describing what you want to see. The new feature, rolling out to the Google app in the “coming days,” will use AI to automatically tweak your feed and “remember” your preferences for future visits.
You’ll find the option within the three-dot menu on your Discover feed. As shown in a video shared by Google, tapping the feature will open a chatbot-style interface, where you’ll be able to describe your preferences. The chatbot will confirm your choices and lay out the types of content it will prioritize, but you’ll also have the option to add more information if it doesn’t get it quite right. From there, you can hit “Refresh your feed” for the changes to take effect.
