Deep linking using generative artificial intelligence
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium for using artificial intelligence to generate responses. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a query from a client device. Search results for resources determined to be relevant to the query are provided. The search system provides, for display with a given search result of the set of search results, a prompt input interface that enables the user to input a prompt for an artificial intelligence subsystem of the search system. A prompt input is received from the client device. An artificial intelligence subsystem uses a language model to select, from a set of resources hosted by a same domain as the corresponding resource linked to by the given search result, one or more additional resources based at least on the prompt input by the user and the query.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the query, the given search result, the prompt, the conversational response, the second prompt, and the second conversational response form a conversation and are presented in a conversational user interface.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the prompt is displayed below the given search result, and the conversational response is displayed below the prompt.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the prompt is displayed adjacent to the given search result, and the conversational response is displayed adjacent to the prompt.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting the one or more additional resources based at least on the prompt input by the user and the query comprises:
determining a user's intent based at least on the prompt input by the user and the query; and
selecting the one or more additional resources according to the user's intent.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the user's intent is determined from potential intents comprising (i) an information seeking intent, (ii) an action seeking intent, (iii) a navigation seeking intent, or any combination of (i) to (iii).
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a request including a list of items from the client device of the user;
identifying items included in the list from a particular website that offers the items; and
adding the items to a virtual cart of the particular website.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the commentary about a subject of each of the one or more additional resources comprises at least one of (i) a description of the subject of each of the one or more additional resources or (ii) a description of information included in each of the one or more additional resources.
11. A system comprising:
a search system comprising one or more processors; and
one or more storage devices storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving, by the search system, a query from a client device of a user;
providing, for display in a user interface of the client device, a set of search results for resources determined to be relevant to the query, each search result including information about a corresponding resource and a link to the corresponding resource;
providing, by the search system and for display with a given search result of the set of search results, a prompt input interface that enables the user to input a prompt for an artificial intelligence subsystem of the search system;
receiving, from the client device, the prompt input by the user;
selecting, by the artificial intelligence subsystem using a language model and from a set of resources hosted by a same domain as the corresponding resource linked to by the given search result, one or more additional resources based at least on the prompt input by the user and the query, the selecting comprising providing, to the language model, a prompt generated based on the prompt input by the user and the query; and
providing, for display with the given search result, a conversational response comprising commentary about a subject of each of the one or more additional resources and a link to each of the one or more additional resources.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the prompt is a natural language input.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the operations comprise:
providing a second prompt input interface that enables the user to input a second prompt;
receiving the second prompt input by the user;
selecting, by the artificial intelligence subsystem and from the set of resources hosted by the same domain, one or more second resources based at least on the query, the prompt, the conversational response, and the second prompt; and
providing, for display by the client device, a second conversational response including commentary about a subject of each of the one or more second resources and a link to each of the one or more second resources.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the query, the given search result, the prompt, the conversational response, the second prompt, and the second conversational response form a conversation and are presented in a conversational user interface.
15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the prompt is displayed below the given search result, and the conversational response is displayed below the prompt.
16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the prompt is displayed adjacent to the given search result, and the conversational response is displayed adjacent to the prompt.
17. The system of claim 11 , wherein selecting the one or more additional resources based at least on the prompt input by the user and the query comprises:
determining a user's intent based at least on the prompt input by the user and the query; and
selecting the one or more additional resources according to the user's intent.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the user's intent is determined from potential intents comprising (i) an information seeking intent, (ii) an action seeking intent, (iii) a navigation seeking intent, or any combination of (i) to (iii).
