Overview
- AI Mode is rolling out in English to more than 180 additional countries and territories, expanding beyond the U.S., India and the U.K.
- The first agentic capability finds real-time restaurant availability across platforms and links users to booking pages to finalize reservations.
- Access to the agentic experiment is restricted to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the United States via Google Labs, with outlets reporting the plan costs $249.99 per month.
- U.S. users who opt into the Labs experiment can receive dining recommendations personalized from prior AI Mode chats and activity in Search and Maps, with account-level controls.
- A U.S.-only share-link feature lets others continue an AI Mode conversation, and the system is powered by Project Mariner plus partners such as OpenTable, Resy, Tock, Ticketmaster, StubHub, SeatGeek and Booksy, with Google planning to add local services and event ticketing next.
