Google announced on Wednesday the launch of a revamped Trends Explore page featuring Gemini-powered capabilities. The update automatically identifies and compares trends related to users’ searches. It began rolling out on desktop that same day.
The Trends Explore page has served content creators, journalists, and researchers by enabling analysis of search interest over time, across regions, and by category. The new Gemini integration streamlines manual work in exploring trending topics, cuts research time, and highlights connections users might miss.
The redesigned page includes a side panel that automatically identifies and compares relevant trends in a user’s area of interest. It displays a list of suggested Gemini prompts for deeper exploration. The interface has a refreshed design with dedicated icons and colors for each search term, simplifying matching of terms to graph lines. Google also raised the number of terms users can compare and the number of rising queries shown on each timeline.
A Google blog post demonstrates the features using trending dog breeds. The AI populates the graph with up to eight search terms, such as “golden retriever” or “beagle.” It suggests related topics like “hypoallergenic dog breeds” or “large dog breeds” for further investigation. Users can hover over a term to edit it or apply filters for country, time, and property to customize the Trends timeline.
This update fits into Google’s efforts to integrate Gemini across its products. The company has previously added AI capabilities to Search, Gmail, Maps, and Docs.
