Overview

• AI Mode now supports Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean and Brazilian Portuguese, expanding availability beyond English for the first time.
• The update follows last month’s English rollout to more than 180 countries after initial launches in the U.S., the U.K. and India.
• The experience runs on a custom version of Gemini 2.5 with multimodal inputs and advanced reasoning.
• Early agentic abilities such as finding restaurant reservations remain limited to U.S. AI Ultra subscribers via Labs, with more booking categories planned and pricing at $249.99 per month.
• AI Mode is accessible via a dedicated tab and search bar button, and a Google DeepMind manager suggested it could become the default soon, as publishers question traffic impacts that Google disputes.
