When something relevant appears, the Google app sends a push notification with a summary and links to learn more.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Watch for alerts on your phone and open them to see how Google explains the update. The point of the agent is not only to notify you, but also to synthesize information from multiple sources and explain why the change matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Verification: you should receive a push notification when the tracked topic changes, and the alert should include a concise summary or follow-up links.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Step 4: Manage active topics in AI Mode history\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Goal: keep your agents organized so you can refine, pause, or remove them later. Google says active tracked topics appear in AI Mode history, which acts like a control center for your ongoing monitoring.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Open AI Mode history and review the list of topics you are tracking. From there, you can jump back into the prompt, adjust the scope, or turn off an alert if it is too broad or no longer useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Verification: you should see your active topics listed in history and be able to edit or disable them without starting from scratch.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Step 5: Tune prompts for better signal\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Goal: improve the quality of updates by making the agent more precise. Because these agents are designed to go beyond simple notifications, \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fnews\u002Fwhat-large-language-models-are-how-they-work-en\">they work\u003C\u002Fa> best when you ask for a specific outcome, time window, or category of change.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Refine prompts by adding constraints such as location, price band, company name, or event type. For example, instead of tracking “jobs,” track “remote backend roles at startups in the U.S.” Instead of tracking “weather,” track “severe weather alerts for Seattle this week.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Verification: you should notice fewer irrelevant alerts and more updates that match the exact change you care about.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>If notifications do not arrive, check that push alerts are enabled for the Google app and that AI Mode is available on your account.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>If results are too noisy, narrow the prompt with a location, date range, or subject-specific keyword.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>If you cannot find a topic later, open AI Mode history, where Google says active agents are stored for review and control.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Ctable>\u003Cthead>\u003Ctr>\u003Cth>Metric\u003C\u002Fth>\u003Cth>Before\u002FBaseline\u003C\u002Fth>\u003Cth>After\u002FResult\u003C\u002Fth>\u003C\u002Ftr>\u003C\u002Fthead>\u003Ctbody>\u003Ctr>\u003Ctd>Search behavior\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003Ctd>Manual repeat searches\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003Ctd>Continuous background monitoring\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003C\u002Ftr>\u003Ctr>\u003Ctd>Notification style\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003Ctd>No proactive alerts\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003Ctd>Push notifications when relevant changes appear\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003C\u002Ftr>\u003Ctr>\u003Ctd>Information output\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003Ctd>Link list only\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003Ctd>Multi-source summaries with context\u003C\u002Ftd>\u003C\u002Ftr>\u003C\u002Ftbody>\u003C\u002Ftable>\u003Ch2>Common mistakes\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>Using a vague prompt like “news” or “updates.” Fix: name a specific topic, entity, or event so the agent knows what to monitor.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Expecting the feature in standard Search.
