Google AI Mode tests paginated follow-up chat responses

Google is testing a paginated response format in AI Mode that automatically generates a follow-up question and answer within the same chat, with a skip button to bypass it, per Search Engine Roundtable. The test was spotted by Sachin Patel; Google has not confirmed a wider rollout.

Why it matters: A self-generated follow-up, with an explicit skip, signals Google tuning AI Mode to keep a conversation going inside the chat rather than ending in one turn.
