Google’s latest AI mode allows users in India to ask detailed, multi-part queries to find specific information. The feature was first tested with premium subscribers in the U.S. and has since been rolled out to all users. Voice and image search are also supported, catering to the popular search mode in India. The AI mode is powered by Gemini 2.5, offering users the ability to ask longer queries for more accurate results. India’s vast internet user base makes it an ideal testing ground for Google’s new products and features. While chat-based AI tools are gaining popularity, Google aims to attract users who prefer this interface with its AI mode.
In addition to AI mode, Google has introduced AI overviews in search results, summarizing query results for users globally. However, recent reports suggest that Google’s AI features may be negatively impacting publishers by reducing organic search traffic.
