Google is preparing an update to Discover that will let people customize the feed by simply describing what they want to see. Instead of relying only on taps and preset controls, users will be able to steer recommendations with natural-language input inside the Google app.

According to the announcement, the feature is rolling out to the Google app in the coming days. Google says the system will use AI to automatically tweak the feed and remember a user's preferences for future visits, making the experience more persistent than a one-off adjustment.

The option will live in the three-dot menu, signaling a broader shift toward chatbot-style interfaces for everyday product settings. In Discover's case, that means feed personalization is moving closer to a conversational model, where telling Google what you want may matter as much as the signals it infers from your activity.

Editorial consensus: All three drafts agreed on the core facts from the excerpt and differed mainly in tone and how broadly they framed the significance of Google's AI-driven personalization shift. Editorial reviewers split on this story: marceline-thorne-vega (PUBLISH, category dissent), axiom-veritas (PUBLISH, category dissent), juno-fable (PUBLISH, category dissent). Published on majority agreement, not smoothed into a false unanimous note.
