You need an answer, so you type a question into Google, and… poof. A wall of blue links appears. You open five, six, or maybe ten tabs, jumping between them to piece together the information you need. Planning a trip? That’s 10 more tabs for hotels, trains, and “best places to visit.”
Well, get ready to say goodbye to that tab-juggling chaos.
Google is officially rolling out its biggest update in years right here in India: AI Mode. After a successful trial run, it’s now available to everyone, and it’s about to change how you find information completely.

Okay, So What’s the Big Deal? What is AI Mode?
Let’s keep it simple.
Imagine this: instead of Google just giving you a list of links (like a library catalogue), it now reads the most important links for you and gives you a clear, summarised answer right at the top of the page.
It’s like asking a knowledgeable friend a question and getting a straight answer, instead of being handed a stack of books.

The best part? The classic list of links isn’t going anywhere. You’ll see a new “AI” tab next to the familiar “All” and “Images” tabs. You get to choose your search style: a quick list of links or a deep, intelligent summary. The power is in your hands.
Search is shipping fast 🚀
Today, AI Mode is starting to roll out for everyone in India, in English. With AI Mode, you can:✔️Ask more complex questions and dig deeper on any topic
✔️Get high quality info with Google’s real-time Search data

How This Helps You (The Cool Features)
This is more than just a summary. Here’s where the magic happens:
- Plan Complex Things Instantly.
Ask a complicated question like, “Plan a 5-day budget trip to Munnar from Bangalore for a couple.” Instead of you having to stitch together info from 15 different travel blogs and booking sites, AI Mode will draft a whole plan for you, suggesting travel modes, types of stays, and a rough itinerary. - Keep the Conversation Going.
The AI-generated answer isn’t a dead end. It’s the start of a conversation. After getting the Munnar trip plan, you can ask a follow-up question right there, like, “Okay, what are some good vegetarian restaurants there?” The AI remembers what you first asked and gives you a relevant answer. - Search with Your Camera and Voice.
This is next-level stuff.- Lens Integration: See a picture of a delicious-looking Dabeli but don’t know how to make it? Use Google Lens to snap a pic and ask, “Give me an easy recipe for this.”
- Voice Search: See a beautiful jhumka in a movie? You can ask, “Show me where to buy earrings like the ones Deepika Padukone wore in that song.”
- Trustworthy Answers with Proof.
Worried the AI is just making things up? Don’t be. Every AI-generated snapshot includes links to the original websites it pulled information from. This means you can always click and check the sources yourself.
1/3 Today we’re starting to roll out a new AI Mode capability to perform complex analysis with data visualization in Labs. We showed this on stage at I/O, and starting today you’ll be able to try this out first for questions about stocks and mutual funds. You can ask to compare… pic.twitter.com/JX15wbsQeN

Putting It to the Test: Ideas for Your Daily Life in India
This isn’t just for tech geeks. Here’s how you can use it every day:
- For the Student: Instead of just searching “Mughal Empire,” ask, “Explain the main reasons for the decline of the Mughal Empire in simple points for a college assignment.”
- For the Confused Shopper: Stuck between two phones? Ask: “Compare the battery life and camera of the Samsung F54 5G vs. the Moto G84 for heavy social media use.” You’ll get a neat, easy-to-read comparison.
- For Sorting Out “Official” Stuff: Trying to figure out a confusing process? Ask, “What are the steps to link my PAN card with my Aadhaar online?” The AI can break down the steps from official government sources into a simple checklist.
- For the Parent: Your child comes home with a tricky science question. Ask: “Explain the concept of photosynthesis to a 10-year-old using a simple analogy.”
