dejanseo published an annotated breakdown of the structured internal tags Google's AI Mode uses to organize responses: the <FollowUp> tag wraps targeted clarifying questions at the end of replies, the <Generate> tag dynamically builds interactive tools like calculators, physics simulators, and mini-games, and layout tags (e.g., map layout) control visual rendering.
