In addition to helpful search results, Google Lens currently offers an AI Overview when you ask a question about a photo or video. However, it doesn’t generate an AI Overview if you only perform a visual search and don’t ask a follow-up question. That’s changing with the latest update for Lens.
Google wants more users to benefit from its AI-generated overviews while using Lens, so it’s dropping the follow-up query requirement. In a blog post, the company says, “AI Overviews will begin to appear more often in your Lens results, with no need to add a question to your visual search.”
