Search patent of the week: Stateful Chat Search with Generative Companion

This Google patent discussed in this episode describes a stateful search system that uses a generative companion to understand the context of a user's entire search session, not just individual queries. By maintaining user state, incorporating information like prior queries and search results, and generating synthetic queries, the system aims to provide more relevant and personalized results. This approach allows for various applications, such as assisting with complex tasks like vacation planning, resolving ambiguous queries, and generating summaries of search results and documents. The system utilizes large language models and query classification to determine the most appropriate type of response and content to deliver.https://www.kopp-online-marketing.com/patents-papers/search-with-stateful-chat
