Google opened access to its new Search Generative Experience and today – and our own Barry Schwartz is one of the first to gain access.
Although he had to head offline for the holiday of Shavuot, he was able to share several tweets with images from his early testing. I’ve compiled most of those in this article so you can get an early look at the experiment that is Google SGE.
The Google welcome email
It’s Barry’s turn to try Search Labs! This is the “you’re in” email Google sent.

Getting started
Yes, we’re ready to get started experimenting with Search Labs.
But first you’ll need to agree after reading this crazy long SGE Privacy Notice:

Search [when does Shavous start?]

Google didn’t show the time, but Barry likes how you can expand the answers.

Also, look at all those snackable organic/free links you can click on.
Barry called the follow-up answers “pretty good”:
