Google just launched a new feature in its Search called AI Mode. So, what is Google AI Mode, and how is it helpful? We will know about it in detail.

What is Google AI Mode?

This is a new feature that gets you AI-Powered responses and explore further with follow-up questions and links to helpful web content.

Using it feels like you’re chatting with an AI assistant instead of typing keywords. This new AI Mode makes your search experience conversational and more intelligent.

The feature was introduced earlier this year as an experiment in the US, but it’s now made available in India as well.

Is Google AI Mode Gemini?

No! Not exactly.

The new AI Mode is a feature inside Google Search. This uses the Gemini AI Model to power its responses.

So, Gemini is the engine, and the AI Mode is the tool you are using.

How to Try Google AI Mode in Search?

Google Search AI Mode is still an experimental feature; hence, it’s disabled by default. If you want to use it, here’s how you can manually enable the feature.

1. Open the Google Chrome web browser.

2. When the browser opens, head over to labs.google.com.

3. On the page that appears, find the AI Mode and click on it.

4. On the AI Mode screen, enable the toggle button beside ‘Turn this experiment on or off’.

5. Click the Try AI Mode button.

6. Alternatively, open Google Search and click the AI Mode button.

Since the AI Mode is powered by the Gemini Model version 2.5, it can understand text, images, and voice. Let us know if you need more help using AI Mode in Google Search.
