Gemini AI could be ready for you to test your instructions.

The explosion of Internet ideas in 1997 merges with artificial intelligence.

Memories of the late 90s internet era might bring to mind Google's fun "I'm Feeling Lucky" button, which would take you directly to the first search result instead of presenting a list. Now, three decades later, amid an ocean of sponsored links, Google is working to enhance its artificial intelligence assistant, Gemini, with a new similar feature that has been discovered in unreleased code.

This new button will allow users to generate a random prompt. This way, you can let fate decide what to talk about with Gemini. Need to remember to take your clothes to the dry cleaner or looking for holiday gift ideas? By clicking the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button, these and other suggestions will be presented to you unexpectedly. It won't be the only feature on the interface; Gemini will provide other random recommendations every time you start a conversation, along with the button as a constant element.

When Gemini was initially launched, it offered idea suggestions on its homepage, but Google decided to remove this functionality to make the app look cleaner. Now with a minimalist design, it still provides random ideas, similar to what you see when opening AI chatbots like ChatGPT or Perplexity, though with the surprise of not knowing what you'll receive upon pressing the button.

The introduction of these random prompts, along with the nostalgia it invokes, goes beyond a simple reminder. This strategy aims to showcase Gemini's capabilities and encourage its use in various tasks. Google wants users to explore different ways to utilize this artificial intelligence chatbot, and reintroducing suggestions with a fresh twist could make it easier for more people to familiarize themselves with Gemini and AI in general.

Despite its modest nature, this initiative could result in significant growth in a loyal user base and the generation of positive feedback for Gemini. Playing with random prompts may encourage users to interact with other future features and capabilities glimpsed in upcoming code. Google has several enhancements planned for Gemini, such as handling large volumes of code, improved memory of your preferences, and even a function as a tour guide in your car.
