Abstract: Implementations are described herein for augmenting a traditional search session with stateful chat—via what will be referred to as a “generative companion”—to facilitate more interactive searching. In various implementations, a query may be received, e.g., from a client device operated by a user. Contextual information associated with the user or the client device may be retrieved. Generative model (GM) output may be generated based on processing, using a generative model, data indicative of the query and the contextual information. Synthetic queries may be generated using the GM output, and search result documents (SRDs) may be selected. State data indicative of: the query, contextual information, one or more of the synthetic queries, and the set of search result documents, may be processed to identify a classification of the query. Based on the classification downstream GM(s) may be selected and used to generate one or more additional GM outputs.
