Robby Stein, Google's Vice President of Product at Google Search, asked on X, "If you could get one feature shipped right now in AI Mode, what would it be?" So now is your chance to reply on X with what you want.
So you want more links or fewer links? Do you want AI Mode to send you more traffic or less traffic? Do you want AI Mode to just give searchers the answer or make the searcher click over to your site to get the answer.
I mean, I know we are biased but hey - go ahead, tell Google want you want from AI Mode. I mean, Google did ask for it.
Here is the post:
