AI Overviews: consistent monetization and now reaching 1.5B users 3. AI Mode: what we’re really excited about 4. After last quarter’s capex guidance, more capital return soothes this quarter 5. Additional Quick Hits on subscriptions, margins and AI vertical integration
Earlier this week, we had the pleasure of hosting Seth Micarelli, former Director of AI + Search Strategy and Growth at Google (and previously with AMZN’s Devices and Alexa teams) to discuss the future of AI search (e.g., Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT, Meta AI, etc.) and agentic AI (e.g., Alexa+).
