Introducing AI Mode in India

What is AI Mode?
AI Mode is Google’s most advanced search capability to date, powered by a custom version of the Gemini 2.5 model. Unlike traditional search, it excels at handling nuanced, multi-layered questions, delivering comprehensive responses in an instant. Whether you’re planning a trip, comparing products, or tackling intricate how-tos, AI Mode is designed to dive deep into your queries, providing detailed answers and suggestions for further exploration.
For instance, imagine asking:
“My kids are 4 and 7 and have a lot of energy. Suggest creative ways to keep them active indoors on hot days without needing much space or expensive toys.”
AI Mode not only offers tailored ideas but also allows follow-up questions like, “Can you suggest activities they can do independently?” This conversational depth makes it a game-changer for exploratory searches.
Why AI Mode Stands Out
AI Mode’s strength lies in its advanced reasoning and multimodal capabilities. Here’s what makes it unique:
- Complex Query Handling: Users are asking queries 2-3 times longer than typical searches, showcasing AI Mode’s ability to process intricate questions.
- Query Fan-Out Technique: Behind the scenes, AI Mode breaks your question into subtopics, simultaneously searching the web to uncover hyper-relevant content.
- Multimodal Search: In India, where voice and visual searches are immensely popular, AI Mode lets you search via text, voice, or images. For example, snap a photo of a new plant and ask, “What’s this plant, and how do I repot and care for it?” AI Mode will identify the plant and provide step-by-step care instructions.
- Real-Time Integration: It combines Google’s Knowledge Graph, real-world data, and product information to deliver fresh, high-quality responses.
A Multimodal Experience Tailored for India
India leads the world in Google Lens usage, and AI Mode capitalizes on this by integrating powerful visual search capabilities. Whether you’re using the microphone icon to ask detailed questions on the go or uploading an image to learn more about an object, AI Mode adapts to your preferred input method. This flexibility ensures a seamless experience, whether you’re a busy parent, a curious student, or a professional seeking quick insights.
The Future of Search
AI Mode builds on the success of AI Overviews, which now serves over 1.5 billion users monthly and has driven a 10% increase in complex query usage in markets like India and the U.S. By expanding what AI Overviews can do, AI Mode introduces more advanced reasoning and multimodal features, paving the way for a more intuitive and effortless search experience.
Google’s mission to help users discover the best of the web remains at the core of AI Mode. By enabling precise, nuanced queries, it creates new opportunities for content discovery while maintaining high-quality results through Google’s robust ranking systems.
