Great point, Jean Laval Chue Him
Your reflection highlights a key shift in the search experience: the combination of AI-generated summaries with traditional web crawling results indeed holds strong potential — especially for project managers who need to balance speed and depth in decision-making.
That said, I fully agree with you: the inability to ask follow-up questions while retaining context is still a significant limitation. In project environments — where we often deal with ambiguity, interdependencies, and evolving variables — the ability to keep a line of reasoning going is essential.
Tools like ChatGPT or Perplexity already offer that thread-based interaction quite effectively.
If Google advances in this direction by enabling conversational threads anchored in real-time search, it could be a real game-changer — not just answering queries, but actually supporting strategic thinking.
Imagine applying that to risk analysis, exploring solution trade-offs, or validating emerging practices across agile frameworks.
I’m also curious to hear how other PMs are weaving these AI tools into their day-to-day workflows.
Thanks for sparking this timely and practical conversation!
