Google AI Mode
Google AI Mode is a Gemini-powered search mode that answers detailed questions with organized summaries and links, by text, voice or camera.
AI Mode is a generative AI experience inside Google Search that uses Gemini 3's reasoning and multimodal understanding for complex questions. People can ask a long question with all the details at once, and AI Mode organizes the information into a clear answer with links to explore further on the web. Search Live allows a spoken, back-and-forth conversation, with the option of sharing live video of the surroundings. Personal Intelligence can connect select Google apps so recommendations reflect a person's plans and preferences, and AI Mode can build custom interactive tools and simulations to explain topics from physics to personal finance. It is free to use in Google Search, and Google notes that it is experimental and can make mistakes.
