Google Search now Introduces AI Mode in India

Now, you can experience firsthand with AI Mode in India, Google’s most powerful AI search experience yet.

Imagine asking whatever's on your mind, a question that's extremely complex or multi-layered, and instantly, you are able to receive a comprehensive, all-inclusive, AI-powered response that unfolds the topic using advanced reasoning, complete with essential detailing and more links to explore further.

That’s the power of Google Search’s AI Mode.

AI Mode was first introduced as an experiment in the U.S. earlier this year, and started rolling out to users outside of Labs at Google I/O 2025. It's already popular and resonating with users who appreciate its speed, quality, fresh and vast responses. Following this positive response, Google introduced AI Mode to India, starting today, as an experiment in Labs in English. This approach will allow Google to learn what’s most helpful to Indian users here and improve rapidly with their feedback.

Indian users can access AI mode by opting in through the Google app on Android and iOS. Once enabled, the feature provides AI-generated summaries in English and Hindi language that condense web content, highlight key points, and suggest follow-up questions for further exploration.

Built for the most complex questions and searches

AI Mode is the most powerful AI search, with greater advanced reasoning and multimodality, and the ability to hunt deeper with follow-up questions and helpful links to the web.

Using a custom version of Gemini 2.5, AI Mode lets you ask longer, deeper, more complex or nuanced questions which previously required multiple searches. The initial testers of AI Mode are asking much longer queries - 2-3x the length of traditional searches - depicting that Indians have already started using it for their toughest questions.

How AI Mode will benefit Indians:

—AI Mode will be particularly more helpful for exploratory questions and more complicated tasks like comparing products, planning a trip, or understanding more complex how to’s.

—AI Mode uses the query fan-out technique. Itbreaks your question into subtopics and issues a multitude of queries simultaneously on your behalf, enabling Search to dive deeper into the web than ever before. This helps you to discover much more of what the web has to offer and find incredible, hyper-relevant content that matches your question. You can also easily ask follow-ups too to dig even deeper.

—To make your experience even more unique, it brings together advanced model capabilities with Google’s best-in-class information systems, and it’s built right into Search.

—Not only access high-quality web content, but you can also tap into fresh, real-time sources like the Knowledge Graph, info about the real world, and shopping metrics for billions of products.

Go beyond text search with AI Mode:

—Use your voice, snap a photo or upload an image.

We all know, how voice and visual search are extremely popular with Indian audiences as it lets you search without breaking your stride. More people in India uses Google Lens every month than in any other country worldwide.

AI Mode is designed to be multimodal to permit the user to ask questions in whatever way feels most natural—text, voice, or by taking or uploading an image.

• Voice- To ask your questions using your voice, simply tap the microphone icon and ask your query in AI Mode. This is helpful for the lengthy, detailed questions or for while you’re travelling and can’t type.

• Snap a photo- With the powerful capabilities of Lens into AI Mode, you can easily ask complex questions about what you see. Open the Google App for Android and iOS, snap a photo and ask about the image. AI Mode will grasp the visual details, identify the object, and provide a detailed, step-by-step response, complete with follow-up links.
