What Exactly Is Google’s AI Mode?
Google initially launched AI Mode as a pilot experiment in the United States earlier this year, receiving enthusiastic feedback for its depth, speed, and relevance. Now, starting today, Google has begun rolling out its advanced AI Mode in India, available as an experimental feature in English via Google Labs.
Built to handle your most intricate queries, AI Mode harnesses Google’s custom-built Gemini 2.5 AI model. Whether you’re comparing products, planning elaborate vacations, or decoding complex “how-to” tutorials, AI Mode can tackle it head-on. The AI breaks your lengthy queries into smaller sub-questions, simultaneously combing through a myriad of web pages to deliver comprehensive, precise answers, going far beyond standard search results.

Multimodal Magic: Voice, Image, and More
What’s especially exciting for Indian users? Multimodal capabilities. India already leads globally in Google Lens usage, indicating a strong local preference for visual and voice search. With AI Mode, you’re free to ask your questions however you prefer: by typing, speaking, or even snapping a picture.
Here’s a relatable scenario: you’ve just received a new indoor plant, but you’re clueless about caring for it. Simply snap a photo and ask, “What’s this plant, and how do I keep it alive?” Google’s AI Mode instantly identifies the plant, provides detailed care instructions, and offers handy links for further reading. Still curious? You can effortlessly follow up with additional questions like, “Where should I put this plant to keep it healthy?”
Advanced Search Tech: Behind the Scenes
Google’s AI Mode uses the sophisticated “query fan-out” technique, efficiently breaking your questions into subtopics, diving deeper into the web, and retrieving hyper-relevant content. Moreover, this AI-driven search experience seamlessly integrates Google’s proven Knowledge Graph and real-time data, including extensive shopping information.
The Future of AI-Enhanced Search
This launch signals Google’s broader vision to simplify information retrieval with AI, reflecting how search behaviours are evolving. Google’s AI Overviews, already attracting over 1.5 billion monthly users globally, have significantly boosted engagement in markets like India and the U.S.
