Google Search Console Testing AI Contribution Report

Google Ai Reporting

It looks like Google is testing a new report within Google Search Console named AI contribution. I have no clue what it looks like but I suspect it is a lot like the Bing Webmaster Tools AI performance reports.

John Mueller from Google dropped a non-hint about this in early February and now I am seeing some links in the Google support documentation to AI contribution pilot. I see no screenshots or any details about what the report shows.

I suspect Google is testing this report with a limited number of users right now and I suspect it shows similar metrics to Bing Webmaster tools like citations, cited pages, grounded queries and maybe more. Again, I highly doubt it shows any click data.

Do any of you see any details on this report? Can you share screenshots?

This is what I see:

Previously, John's only comment on this type of report was:

Kinda like the rest of search, many things aren't permanent decisions that are never discussed. Things change - SEOs write about what changed - while I have nothing to announce, I can say for sure that very few things online are permanent. It's also good to have input from others, like you all.
