Google LLC updated AI Mode today, the company’s newest artificial intelligence feature for search that promises to help users with more personalized answers and make it accessible to everyone.

The company introduced AI Mode in March. It’s an AI chatbot that allows users to enter search queries. While similar to AI Overviews, the summarized versions of searches that appear atop Google Search, it instead provides an extensive conversational and in-depth review of user search criteria.

AI Mode uses Google’s advanced AI models, like Gemini, to comprehend complex questions and provide clear, organized information from search results. It offers not only links but also summaries and breakdowns from the sources it finds, along with context and related images. Users can also ask follow-up questions to refine the search and revisit previous queries creating a conversational experience.

The capability already allows users to search and learn about any topic; now it has been updated with a visual space and product cards that can be clicked for more information. For example, users can search for “best mechanical keyboard 2025” and it will list potential keyboards on the market on the right alongside product information with links. The user can even refine the search to a single keyboard or ask about multiple to see places to buy and compare real-time prices (including the latest promotions).

When searching for locations or restaurants, it will similarly show locations on the side along with clickable images that open to web pages that provide additional information.

“This is all made possible by Google’s trusted and up-to-date info about local businesses, and our Shopping Graph — with over 45 billion product listings from stores in your neighborhood, online and around the world,” Google said in its announcement.

The left side has received an update that has added an “AI Mode history” tab that allows users to revisit their previous AI mode queries. So that they can revisit their previous searches including the full context.

How to access AI Mode

Previously, users had to go to Google Labs and sign up for a waitlist to gain access to AI Mode. As of today, users in the United States can get immediate access to AI Mode via Google Labs.

Google announced it’s expanding the AI Mode test due to positive feedback. The company plans to continue rolling it out to users in the U.S., with a small percentage of them seeing it appear as a tab on their Search page. A similar rollout was previously conducted for AI Overviews.
