- Google has started showing ads within conversations with chatbots run by AI startups.
- The company was running tests for this AdSense expansion last year.
Google’s Search business is a big part of the company’s revenue. This business is held up by all the ads that are served alongside search results. Soon, it could be further bolstered by ads served alongside conversations with your favorite chatbot.
According to Bloomberg, Google conducted tests last year to create an ad business model around chatbots, with the help of AI startups like iAsk and Liner. These tests allowed the tech giant to expand its AdSense for Search network earlier this year to include chatbot conversations. Now, the ad network is starting to show ads in the flow of conversations with chatbots run by AI startups.
