AI Mode is a new generative AI experiment in Google Search. Get AI-powered answers to complex questions, with links to sources. Uses a custom Gemini 2.0 model for multi-step reasoning.
AI Mode is clearly the punch back to Perplexity. Google is trying to take the search experience to the next level, using a custom version of Gemini 2.0 to tackle complex, multi-part questions that might normally require multiple searches.
It's currently available as an opt-in experiment in Labs for Google One AI Premium subscribers. They're gradually rolling it out to more users.
Google is emphasizing that it's still early days, but what can we say? The battle of AI search – maybe we should call it Asking in the AI Era – is really heating up!
I'm really curious to see where AI-powered ad platforms go from here. With users now interacting directly with a powerful AI agent before even seeing search results, the dynamics of ad targeting and placement could change dramatically. It will have a HUGE impact on all of Google's clients – big and small, companies and individuals.
This is going to be a massive shift in the business world.
This feature is not available for Google Workspace accounts, only available for personal account holders that too 18 years old.
Congratulations on the rollout of Google Search AI Mode! This innovation addresses the challenge of obtaining comprehensive answers to complex queries.
How does the Gemini 2.0 model ensure accuracy and reliability in the multi-step reasoning process, particularly in sourcing and linking information?
We all were waiting for this, finally, and waiting to get access. I did not want to ask ChatGPT all the time. As it has already changed how we search for stuff, this is a great addition. What is the estimated final release date?
I have used AI mode on other search browsers before, but the experience wasn’t very satisfying. I’m glad that Google Search also has an AI mode, and I look forward to seeing it available in more countries.
This is pretty cool. I caught myself how I started asking questions Google the same way as I ask ChatGPT. But it didn't work that way. Until now! :D
ohhh. Interesting. I'm not seeing that here in Spain though. Is this because of the EU regulations?
