Systems and methods for responding to a user query are provided. More specifically, the systems and methods provide static search results along with a relevant chat bot user interface for combined display on a browser interface in response to a user query. As such, the systems and methods utilize a conversation layer to communicate with a selected chat bot service. Additionally, the systems and methods may update the static search results and other related content displayed in the browser interface in response to user chat bot inputs and/or chat bot responses provided on the chat bot user interface in the combined display. Accordingly, the systems and methods for responding to a user query provide a more efficient and better search engine when compared to previously utilized search engines that did not provide access to a chat bot interface on the same browser interface as the search results.
