Google has launched its new AI Mode in India, offering a smarter and more chat-like search experience. Part of Search Labs, this feature uses AI to give more helpful, detailed, and relevant search results.
What Is AI Mode?
AI Mode makes Google Search smarter by giving clear summaries, step-by-step answers, and handling long or complex questions easily. Instead of just links, it shows AI-generated overviews and lets you ask follow-up questions like you’re chatting with an assistant.
Key Features
- Conversational Responses: You can ask complex questions and get clear, organized answers in simple sections.
- Multimodal Support: Ask by typing, speaking, or uploading images, with help from Google Lens.
- Contextual Follow-Ups: Keep the conversation going with related questions—no need to repeat yourself.
Live Info Pull: It shows up-to-date info from the web, including shopping, travel, and local services.
How to Try AI Mode in India
- Open the Google app on your Android or iPhone.
- Tap the Search Labs icon (flask symbol).
- Enable AI Mode in the list of experiments.
- Use the new AI Mode tab in the search bar to start using it.
Currently, it supports only English queries and is available from June 24, 2025.
Why India First
India is one of Google’s biggest and fastest-growing markets. Since many users here search using voice and images, AI Mode fits well with their habits. It also helps Google test and improve new features based on a wide range of user needs.
What’s Next?
Google will keep improving AI Mode based on user feedback. Future updates may bring better language support, more accurate results, and ads in some searches. Even though it’s still being tested, it shows where Google Search is going next.
Final Words
If you like using tools like ChatGPT or voice assistants but want real-time answers from the web with more context, Google’s AI Mode is worth trying. It makes searching feel more natural, interactive, and useful for daily needs.
