Google, on Tuesday, announced the roll-out of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-mode for users in India. Using this feature, users can get AI-based responses to queries.

Introduced first in June, AI-Mode was earlier available as an experiment in Labs, an early experiment house at Google. According to the company, the initial response to AI Mode has been encouraging with users appreciating the ‘speed and quality of responses’. It is being used for diverse use cases including deep research into a topic and understanding complex know-how. 

With today’s announcement, people can use AI Mode experience in Google Search, with no Labs sign-up required. Over the coming days, a new tab for AI Mode will appear in Search and in the search bar in the Google app, available in English. All the features from the Labs launch will be available. Users can type text queries, use voice or snap a photo with Lens to get comprehensives response with links, and learn further with follow-up questions.

The AI mode is powered by a custom version of Gemini 2.5. The company also found that early testers of the AI mode are asking two to three times longer queries.

AI Mode is Google’s most advanced search yet, combining reasoning, multimodal understanding, and the ability to dive deeper with follow-up questions and curated web links. Google began testing the AI Mode feature earlier this year, and was rolled out first in the US.

Additionally, Google said during its flagship event Google I/O 2025 that it is bringing Gemini to Chrome, introducing a new AI-powered browsing assistant designed to help users quickly grasp a page’s context and complete tasks more efficiently.
