Overview

• AI Mode now returns rich image grids alongside text for inspiration and shopping, with each visual linking out to source sites.
• Users can begin with a photo or a conversational prompt and then refine results with natural follow-up questions that preserve context.
• Shopping responses display larger visuals with prices and stock status, and purchases occur on retailers’ sites with no revenue share to Google.
• The new visual search fan-out examines subtle details and secondary objects in images by running multiple background queries for context.
• Google cites more than 50 billion product listings with over 2 billion refreshed every hour, and the visual experience starts rolling out to US English users this week.
