Overview

  • The AI Mode experiment has rolled out to English-language users in India via Google Search Labs.
  • Powered by a custom Gemini2.5 model, the feature breaks down complex prompts into subqueries to deliver cohesive responses.
  • Users can submit text, voice, or image inputs—integrating Google Lens—to ask nuanced, multi-part questions in a single search.
  • Early testers are using the tool for tasks such as trip planning, product comparisons, and comprehensive how-tos with queries two to three times longer than average.
  • Google says AI Mode reverts to traditional search results when confidence is low and cautions that the experiment may still produce errors.
