Previously, it was only available in the United States and only to users who subscribed to the Google One AI Premium plan."AI Mode" search function, Google said it is now in the United StatesThrough the Search Labs projectHave all users test the experience, and the language must be set to English.
"AI Mode" is a bit like interacting with a chatbot to obtain more Internet information. In form, it may become a product that Google uses to compete with artificial intelligence companies such as OpenAI.
Behind the scenes, it is operated by a customized Gemini artificial intelligence model. Google also announced that it will adjust the artificial intelligence model used behind "AI Overviews" to Gemini 2.0, thereby improving the search speed and the accuracy of subsequent content aggregation. Perhaps it will also upgrade to Gemini 2.5 or later updated versions in the future.
The operating mode of "AI Mode" is similar to the "Deep Recearch" previously proposed by Google. The difference is that when "AI Mode" is executed, it will mainly rely on users to enter keywords instead of requiring users to describe complete research details. In addition, the search breadth is smaller than that of "Deep Recearch", and the search time will be shorter, thereby responding to user search results more quickly.
In addition, users can now use the "AI Mode" search function in a multi-modal manner. For example, by combining it with the Google Lens usage mode, taking images through the mobile phone camera and uploading them to the "AI Mode" search function for subsequent searching. At the same time, artificial intelligence can answer questions about details in the image, allowing users to obtain more daily information.
