On Wednesday, Google introduced an updated Trends Explore page, now enhanced with Gemini-powered features that automatically detect and contrast trends connected to your searches. This refresh is being released on desktop platforms beginning today.

The Trends Explore page has consistently been a useful resource for content creators, journalists, and researchers, simplifying the process of examining search interest for any subject across time, geography, and categories. The new Gemini integration minimizes much of the manual effort typically required when investigating trending topics, cutting down research time and revealing connections that could easily be missed.

The redesigned Explore page includes a side panel that automatically recognizes and compares pertinent trends within your chosen area of interest. Users will also find a selection of suggested Gemini prompts to assist with more in-depth analysis.

The page showcases a modernized layout, with distinct icons and colors assigned to each search term to help users easily link them to their respective lines on the graph. Google has also expanded the number of terms available for comparison and doubled the quantity of rising queries shown on each timeline.

A Google blog post demonstrates these new features using the example of trending dog breeds. The AI automatically fills the graph with up to eight search terms, such as “golden retriever” or “beagle,” and proposes related topics like “hypoallergenic dog breeds” or “large dog breeds” for further investigation. Users can hover over any term to modify it or apply filters for country, time period, and property to tailor the Trends timeline.

This enhancement is a component of Google’s continuous initiative to integrate Gemini into its essential products. The company has already incorporated AI functionalities into Search, Gmail, Maps, and Docs.
