What is Google AI Mode?

Google's AI Mode is a new feature integrated into Search that enhances the search experience by providing conversational, AI-generated responses using the Gemini model, which supports multimodal inputs like text, images, and voice. Designed to synthesize information from various online sources, AI Mode allows users to ask complex questions and refine their queries with follow-up questions, creating a more interactive and tailored search experience. Available to adults in the U.S. with a personal Gmail account, AI Mode can be accessed by enabling it in Search Labs, after which it appears as a button below the search bar. This feature allows users to toggle between standard Search and AI Mode, offering the flexibility to switch if the AI's responses become less relevant. While similar to Gemini, AI Mode is specifically tailored for Search, allowing seamless integration of AI capabilities into everyday Google tools, and is part of Google's broader strategy to make AI interactions intuitive and user-friendly.
