Google AI Mode tests sign-in popup within content

Google AI Mode is testing a new popup that appears between content, prompting users to “Sign in to save your favorite SEO tools and track your website optimization.” This showed up when searching for SEO tools.

This looks like Google’s way of encouraging users to sign in for a more personalized experience. This is new to us we hadn’t seen this type of prompt in results before.

Here is a screenshot of how it looks.

Whether this is aimed purely at personalization, or tied to something like the sign-in prompts we’ve seen elsewhere, isn’t clear yet.
