Google Search Gets AI Mode
What Is AI Mode in Google Search?
Google introduced a new AI Mode for Search, launching today in the United States. This feature lets you ask long, detailed questions, and it breaks your query into smaller parts using a smart method called “query fan-out.”
The AI gathers and combines results from multiple sources to give you a better answer.
What’s Coming Next in AI Mode?
- Personal Context (Coming this summer): Search results will be personalized using your activity in Gmail, Calendar, and other Google apps.
- Deep Search: AI will explore more websites to find in-depth information.
- Data Visualization: Graphs and charts will be shown when useful.
Google says over 1.5 billion people use AI Overviews every month, so AI Mode could become their most popular feature yet.

Shopping Graph – 50 Billion Products
Google’s AI-powered Shopping Graph lets you describe the product you’re looking for, and it gives you visual suggestions.
Example: Say “a modern beige couch for small living rooms,” and Google will show you related options.
