Overview

  • The new AI Mode shortcut appears on Chrome’s New Tab page under the search bar, with placement next to Incognito in some builds.
  • Tapping the button opens Gemini-powered search that supports complex, multi-part queries with follow-ups and relevant links.
  • The experience includes visual and conversational capabilities introduced with Gemini 2.5, enabling searches that can start from images.
  • The rollout is live for iPhone, iPad, and Android users in the United States, with broader availability to follow.
  • Coverage describes the addition as a shortcut likely delivered via a server-side update, so users should ensure they are on the latest Chrome version.
