Google tests 'Dive deeper' in Discover with AI summaries instead of immediate article clicks

Google is testing “Dive deeper” in Discover, an AI-generated overview that appears before users open a publisher’s article or video. The feature may reduce clicks to original reporting, while Google says related links and original sources can still be surfaced.

The feature appears when a user wants to explore a topic further. Instead of opening the article or video shown in the Discover feed, “Dive deeper” takes the user to a page with a short AI-generated summary of the topic, similar to AI Overviews in Search. Google says the experience is meant to make it easier to explore a topic and find related content without jumping between different webpages. The page can also surface links to related stories, community reactions, and original reporting if the user chooses to explore further.

For users, the change may make Discover more convenient. For publishers, Android Authority reported, the concern is that people who would previously have clicked through to read an article may now get enough information from Google’s AI overview and stop there. That could reduce traffic to original reporting, leaving fewer readers with the full context and details of a story. There is also a risk that a short AI-generated summary leaves users with only part of the story, and that if the summary is incomplete or inaccurate, they could come away with a distorted understanding of the topic.

Google still includes links to related stories and original reporting, so the test does not completely remove publishers from the experience. But the feature potentially adds another step before a reader reaches the actual source. Android Authority described the test as one that could mean users spend less time reading what their favorite websites are reporting and watching videos from creators they like.

The test follows Google’s broader use of AI-generated summaries in Search. The report said the “Dive deeper” feature is being tested with videos first, and additional designs and content types are expected in the coming weeks. No timeline for a wider release was provided. Google did not announce a full launch, and the feature remains a test.
