Yahoo is continuing its AI Chat features within Yahoo Search, while also incorporating AI Answers into its search results. The AI powered answers and chat seemed to be powered by OpenAI.
Last week we covered the Yahoo Search AI Chat feature but now more screenshots are coming out of this. Plus, Yahoo testing AI generated answers at the top of its search results page, is new.
Here are screenshot of this from Sachin Patel who posted the AI generated answers over here:

As I said last week, maybe this is a sign of the new stuff Yahoo was wiring up with Search? As a reminder, in January of 2023, Yahoo tweeted that it will make search cool again, explaining a week later that Yahoo Search is making a return. Sadly, most of you don't think Yahoo can compete with the current players. Then November 2023 they said we can expect something soonish - but that was a long time ago.
Something new may be coming to Yahoo soon!
Spotted this on Yahoo’s header: 'We’re building a new https://t.co/u12e7zf4KH to show more of what’s interesting to you.' Seems like they're focusing on personalization, but who knows what else they’re working on! 🤔 @rustybrick @gaganghotra_ pic.twitter.com/IYVTDPIOEr

Note, you need to login to Yahoo to see these and sometimes that might not work:
