Google AI Mode has been available as part of the experimental Labs for a while now. Which means, only a select number of users could access it, because Labs has a waitlist thing to it. Earlier this month, Google made AI Mode available to all Labs users in the US. And starting today, all users in the US will start to see the AI Mode when they open the Search app. They no longer need to even Sign in to their Google account to use the feature.
What is Google AI Mode?
AI Mode is an innovative search interface that leverages Google’s Gemini 2.5 AI model to deliver comprehensive and conversational responses to user queries. Unlike traditional search results that list links, AI Mode provides synthesized answers, allowing users to engage in a more interactive search experience. This mode supports various input methods, including text, voice, and images, making it a versatile tool for diverse search needs.
For instance, users can now ask complex questions, upload images for visual searches, or engage in follow-up queries to delve deeper into a topic. This multimodal approach enhances the search experience by providing more accurate and contextually relevant information.
For example, if you’re planning a weekend trip, you can ask for things to do, places to eat, and current events. The AI will even consider things like your past restaurant bookings or email confirmations (if you allow it) to tailor results to your personal plans.

Deep Searches and Live Search: Enhancing Search Capabilities
One of the standout features of AI Mode is Deep Search, which allows users to explore topics in greater depth. This feature breaks down complex queries into subtopics, enabling users to understand various facets of a subject comprehensively. For example, a query about “renewable energy sources” might be segmented into solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy, each with detailed explanations.
The AI Mode will also help with tasks like buying tickets or booking appointments. Just type what you want, like “find two cheap tickets for a movie”, and the AI will search across websites, compare options, and share all relevant details.
The AI Mode will now also let you virtually try on clothes, compare items, and even ask the AI to buy something for you when the price drops.
And if you are someone who works with data on a daily basis, you will like this one. AI Mode will also help you understand data, by turning numbers into easy-to-read visuals. This could be helpful or work, or even for people who like to invest and track stocks and shares.
AI Agents and More: Personalizing the Search Experience
Google’s introduction of AI agents marks a significant step towards personalized and proactive search experiences. These agents are designed to understand user preferences, habits, and contexts to provide tailored responses and suggestions. For instance, if a user frequently searches for vegetarian recipes, the AI agent might proactively suggest new recipes or cooking tips.
Beyond personalization, AI agents can assist in automating tasks such as setting reminders, booking appointments, or managing emails. This integration aims to transform Google Search from a reactive tool into a proactive assistant, streamlining daily activities for users.
The Future of AI Mode: Global Expansion and Continuous Improvement
While AI Mode is currently available only in the U.S., Google has plans for a broader rollout in the near future. The company is actively working on expanding the feature to other regions, ensuring that users worldwide can benefit from this enhanced search experience.
Moreover, Google is committed to continuously improving AI Mode by incorporating user feedback and advancing its AI capabilities. Future updates may include support for additional languages, integration with more Google services, and enhanced understanding of user intent to provide even more accurate and helpful responses.
Final Thoughts
The introduction of AI Mode signifies a pivotal shift in how users interact with search engines. By combining advanced AI capabilities with a user-friendly interface, Google aims to make information more accessible, personalized, and actionable.
As AI Mode evolves and expands globally, it has the potential to redefine the search landscape, offering users a more intuitive and efficient way to find information.
