Google now counts clicks from AI Mode.
In an update to a support page, Google says its Search Console will now include clicks and impressions from AI Mode, the chatbot-like search interface it brought to everyone in the US last month.
However, as pointed out by Search Engine Roundtable, the Google Search Console mixes this data with regular web traffic, potentially making it harder for publishers to see exactly where their clicks are coming from.

Inaugural Futurum Signal Report Reveals Elite Companies Spearheading Through Innovation, Powerful Go-to-Market Execution in Highly Competitive Market

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Futurum Group, an influential leader in research, intelligence, media, and advisory services for the technology industry, today unveiled its first FuturumSignal report, generated by its forward-looking predictive evaluation platform. Futurum Signal's Comparison Zones include a visual showcasing how companies rank based on their overall Signal score, a Signal Comparative Heat Map, and Signal Radar, a company view of scores over each of the 5 assessment categories Share Analyzing the $409B Data Intelligence market, which is projected to reach nearly $900B within the next 5 years, Futurum Signal unveiled the market positioning and scores of a dozen companies in the space. With the ambition to harness AI through Generative and Agentic AI tools as companies' priority investment, Data Platforms represents the next evolution in enterprise data strategy, unifying disparate data, analytics, and AI capabilities into a single ecosystem. Futurum Signal's Comparison Zones include a visual showcasing how companies rank based on their overall Signal score, a Signal Comparative Heat Map showcasing how companies compare across each of the five assessment categories, and Signal Radar, a company-specific view of their respective score on each of the five assessment categories. Of note, while Google stood out in its score for 'Strategic Vision', Databricks led under 'Product Innovation & Solution Capabilities', and Microsoft topped 'Business Value Index', demonstrating an ultimate measure of success in delivering rapid, quantifiable ROI. Companies like AWS, Salesforce, and Snowflake scored the Leader status, representing companies expected to show strengths and competitive advantages. Companies considered reliable and competitive, including IBM, Oracle, and Cloudera, face shortcomings in the specific Data Intelligence Platform market. Futurum Signal was announced earlier in August and is integrated into the firm's Futurum Intelligence Platform. Its unique analysis evaluates companies across five core categories—Business Value Index, Product Innovation & Technology Capabilities, Strategic Vision, Go-To-Market Execution, and Ecosystem Alignment—on a consistent 10-point scale that rolls up into an overall Futurum Signal score. The full report can be requested by visiting: Futurum Signal - The Futurum Group Key findings: Strategic Vision: Google stands out. Its top score demonstrates that leadership in this category requires an unwavering, clearly articulated, and massively funded strategy that anticipates market shifts. Google's coherent AI-first approach, which infuses everything from its core infrastructure to its application layer, serves as a north star for the industry, contrasting sharply with vendors who are still articulating how AI fits into their broader portfolio. Product Innovation & Solution Capabilities: Databricks leads the pack. This score is a testament to its unified platform, which has successfully erased the artificial lines between data engineering, data science, machine learning, and business intelligence. Winning in this category demands a cohesive, end-to-end experience that simplifies the data lifecycle, a stark difference from competitors who still present a collection of loosely integrated tools. Ecosystem Alignment: Snowflake and Databricks are exemplary. Their high scores show that true market leadership is built on a foundation of open standards and a thriving network of partners. Their embrace of open formats like Apache Iceberg and robust support for ISVs and GSIs creates a powerful network effect, making their platforms stickier and more valuable than closed, proprietary systems. Go-to-Market Execution: Microsoft and SAP are elite. Their top scores underscore that technical excellence is insufficient without a world-class sales and distribution engine. Leadership here requires deep enterprise penetration, mature partner channels, and the ability to bundle new data and AI solutions with existing, mission-critical software contracts—a key advantage over pure-play vendors still scaling their sales organizations. Business Value Index: Microsoft is at the top. This demonstrates that the ultimate measure of success is the ability to deliver rapid, quantifiable ROI by embedding data and AI directly into the business processes and productivity tools users rely on every day. Microsoft Fabric and Copilot exemplify this approach, delivering immediate value within the familiar context of Azure and Microsoft 365, a model that others are now racing to emulate 'While the world is mesmerized by shiny new AI models, this inaugural Signal report reveals the real breakthrough is happening one layer down," says Brad Shimmin, Futurum's VP & Practice Lead, Data Intelligence, Analytics & Infrastructure. 'The Elite vendors aren't just plugging AI into existing software; they're meticulously engineering an intelligence, trustworthy data foundation that can tuen the promise of AI into tangible enterprise value and help companies build an operating system fit for the next wave of business innovation.' Upcoming Signal reports available this Fall will include: Data Intelligence Platforms Security Operations Platforms Software Engineering Platforms Agentic AI Platforms AI Cloud Platforms Sales, Service, & Marketing Platforms Cloud Marketplace Platforms Futurum Signal is now available to businesses and analysts looking for a data-driven, actionable approach to navigating the future of technology and customer engagement.

Pixel 10, new Gemini features, the Pixel Watch, and everything else announced at the Made by Google 2025 event

The Made by Google 2025 event is finally happening, notably before Apple's hardware event is expected to take place in September. On Wednesday, the tech giant debuted its Pixel 10 series, a new foldable, the Pixel Watch 4, the second generation of the cost-friendly A-Series earbuds, generative AI capabilities with Gemini, and more. Get ready for a Gemini boost Image Credits:Thomas Fuller/SOPA Images/LightRocket / Getty Images Google already dropped several AI-related updates at its developer conference in May, but the company demonstrated more Gemini features during the Pixel 10 event. In a recent YouTube video promoting the new devices, Google even seemed to poke fun at Apple's failed promises with Apple Intelligence advancements on the iPhone. Gemini Live received an upgrade this year, so now when you ask questions, you can share your camera, and the assistant can follow along and guide you. For instance, sharing an image of your room with the AI and getting interior design ideas. Taking photos on the Pixel 10 also got a boost. A new feature called 'Camera Coach,' for example, lets Gemini give you real-time tips for taking better photos. The AI is able to see what's going on and suggest the best angles and lighting for your shot. In addition, there's a new conversational photo editing tool, where you tell Gemini what you want to tweak in a photo, such as increasing the brightness, removing objects, or changing the background. Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL Image Credits:Google The standard Pixel 10 phone underwent significant changes, particularly with the addition of a dedicated telephoto lens, a feature that was previously exclusive to the Pro models. Google released a teaser for the Pixel 10 prior to Wednesday's event.

San Francisco | REGISTER NOW The company says the new 5x telephoto lens is its best zoom quality, and the 100x Pro Res Zoom allows for high-quality closeups. Additionally, all phones in the lineup are powered by a new Tensor G5 processor, ushering in the Gemini era and enhancing performance and power efficiency compared to the Tensor G4 chip. Aside from these updates, there weren't many obvious changes. The basic design of the phones remains similar to that of the Pixel 9 series. The displays are also staying the same, with the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro featuring a 6.3-inch display, and the Pixel 10 Pro XL with a larger 6.8-inch display. The Pro models also get improved camera and video quality, along with battery size, which allows for faster charging and finally addresses the longevity gap between Pixel and flagship phones from Apple and Samsung. PixelSnap Notably, the Pixel 10 devices have magnetic technology built into them thanks to 'PixelSnap,' the company's version of 'MagSafe.' Google released a line of magnetic accessories to pair with the lineup, including a new $40 Pixelsnap charger that supports Qi2 wireless charging. The company also launched a $50 phone case with a magnetic ring in the center and a $30 ring stand for hands-free use. Pixel 10 Pro Fold Image Credits:Google As for Google's latest foldable, it has a larger cover display, measuring at around 6.4 inches, alongside an 8-inch main screen. Google also enhanced the strength of the hinge, and the bezels are thinner for a sleek appearance. Another exciting addition is an IP68 rating, a first for the device. This means it can stand up to both dust and water, whereas the Pixel 9 Pro Fold has zero dust protection. Like the other Pixel 10 phones, the Pro Fold is powered by the new G5 chip and includes the latest Gemini AI features. The camera system also received improvements, potentially featuring a 48-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. The phone also saw an improvement in battery life. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold costs $1,799 and is available in Moonstone and Jade colors. Pixel Journal app Image Credits:Google The tech giant is coming for Apple's Journal app with Pixel Journal, a new journaling app for Pixel 10 devices. With the app, you can write entries, add photos, locations, and activities, as well as lock entries for privacy. The app also includes AI features, such as prompt suggestions to spark inspiration. The Pixel Watch and Pixel Buds Image Credits:Google Wearables will also get their time to shine at Google's event, with the Pixel Watch 4 getting a thicker design, a longer battery life, and smaller bezels. The smartwatch also introduced its own AI capabilities, such as the ability to access Gemini by lifting your wrist. The Pixel Buds 2a offer a much-needed upgrade from the first generation of the A-Series earbuds, coming with active noise cancellation and fun new colors: Hazel and Iris. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 introduced a new Gemini feature for answering calls with gestures and comes in a new Moonstone color. Fitbit gets an AI-powered health coach Image Credits:Google Google announced a new AI personal health coach for the Fitbit fitness tracking app. This feature allows users to create customized workout routines by discussing their goals, preferences, and available equipment. The AI coach generates a personalized fitness plan with workout suggestions and adjusts plans in real-time based on user data to help achieve fitness goals. The AI trainer also acts as a sleep coach, providing insights into how to improve your sleep quality. A preview of the AI coach will be available in October. It will be integrated into the redesigned Fitbit app and will work with the latest Fitbit trackers, smartwatches, and Pixel Watches. This story has been updated after publication.
