Google has launched a new feature called “Step-by-Step” in its Search Generative Experience (SGE). This tool gives users clear, step-by-step instructions for everyday tasks. People can now get help with things like cooking a meal, fixing a leaky faucet, or setting up a home Wi-Fi network. The feature breaks down each task into simple actions anyone can follow.

The Step-by-Step experience appears directly in Google Search results. It uses AI to understand what the user needs and then shows a numbered list of steps. Each step includes short text and helpful visuals when available. Google says this makes it easier for people to complete tasks without jumping between websites.
This update is part of Google’s larger effort to make search more helpful and interactive. The company tested the feature with real users before rolling it out more widely. Early feedback showed people liked how straightforward and practical the instructions were. Google plans to expand the types of tasks covered over time.
The Step-by-Step feature works on both mobile and desktop devices. It pulls information from trusted sources across the web. Google also checks that the steps are safe and accurate before showing them. Users do not need to sign up or download anything to use it. It is built right into the search experience.

Google says this tool is especially useful for people who learn better by doing. It saves time and reduces confusion. The company will keep improving the feature based on what users tell them. More updates are expected in the coming months as Google refines how it understands and responds to how-to queries.
