Digital Phablet appears to be experimenting with a new format for AI Overviews in search results. This version omits the typical “AI Overview” label and seems to merge features from the knowledge panel. Instead of a traditional list, the right-side cards are presented as a stacked card layout.
This discovery was made by Brodie Clark and shared across social platforms, providing visual evidence of the change. The new design displays a sequence of cards in a layered stack rather than a straightforward list. An example image shows the new format on desktop, highlighting the integration of knowledge panel elements within the AI overview.
In contrast, a standard AI Overview for the same search query remains unchanged, featuring a more traditional layout with information presented plainly. A demonstration video illustrates this new format in action, showing the animated stacking of the cards and their visual differences from the typical design.
Google has indicated ongoing experiments aimed at modifying AI Mode and AI Overviews, likely to boost user engagement through increased clicks. Whether this is part of those tests remains speculation, but it suggests an evolving approach to how search results present AI-generated insights.
