The, the reason why Dan keeps getting mentioned on this podcast is cause you love him because I love him very much. Uh, it's because I can't believe what he does. So anyways, this article, uh, he's just, he's just constantly pumping on this stuff.

He has been researching Google's grounding principles, grounding snippets.

So this is thing. So what happens when you run a query? You might have heard this before, it turns into a query, fan out with these other sub queries, then it searches Google, then it pulls back the snippet.

So he's done a whole analysis of how that whole process works.

And that's what this article talks about. And this becomes very valuable because when you understand how Google does it, you can reformat your content to optimize for that process. And the grounding snippet is almost like this skeleton of what the response is gonna be.

And then it uses AI to sort of build it out and refill the gaps.

So it's so interesting how the system works and Dan very well describes it, but Dan is like a PhD computing scientist or something cause the way he writes is very technical and it's hard to get through it. So I just asked Gemini to help me, help me understand. I'm a very stupid person.

Please help me understand how this works.

So yeah, so I think it's useful to take this post, ask AI to explain it to you like you're in Grade 5 and that's what I did. I love that in the first paragraph, I can see the word grounding chunks. I thought you would like that actually.

Grounding chunks.

I hope I hope you're feeling okay. I don't want you I don't want you to feel sick to your stomach. I'm grounding some chunks while you read this.
