Google is testing the ability to save your AI Overviews to your Google Interests section. If you are opted-in to labs in Google, and you see AI Overviews, at the bottom of the AI Overview, you may see a new “Save” button.

Google did showcase the ability to export AI Overviews as part of the planning options in AI Overviews – but I don’t belive I saw the option to “save” them before now?
