Google Rolls Out AI Mode in Search – A ChatGPT-like Experience in Your Browser
Google is transforming the way people search the internet with the introduction of AI Mode, a dynamic new feature that adds an intelligent, conversational layer to the traditional Search experience.
Announced on July 1, 2025, AI Mode delivers direct answers, visual summaries, and contextual information by leveraging Google’s Gemini AI. The shift represents one of the biggest updates to Google Search since its launch in 1998.
🧠 What Can AI Mode Do?
With AI Mode enabled, users no longer see a static list of 10 blue links. Instead, you get:
-
A concise, natural-language answer to your query,
-
Suggested follow-up questions you can click,
-
AI-generated images, infographics, or code (where relevant),
-
Summaries drawn from reliable web pages,
-
Context-specific knowledge tailored to your intent.
It’s Google’s answer to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Bing AI—but right within the familiar search engine interface.
🌍 Availability and Access
-
Currently rolled out in the U.S. only.
-
Works on both desktop and mobile Google apps.
-
Global rollout to countries like India, UK, and Germany is expected by August 2025.
-
Users can toggle AI Mode on or off from the search settings menu.
🧠 Google Gemini at the Core
AI Mode is powered by the Gemini model family—Google’s large language model series trained for advanced reasoning, web search, image recognition, and even coding.
Gemini 2.5 (or newer) is likely driving this system, delivering faster, more accurate results than earlier PaLM-based models.
🖼️ AI Mode + Google Doodle = Smarter Discovery
Google is also using the Google Doodle as a smart entry point into AI Mode. On special occasions like holidays or world events, clicking the Doodle opens a pre-set AI search interface, letting users explore key topics in real time.
