Taking a leap into the future of searching, Google has introduced India to its experimental AI Mode, driven by its newest Gemini 2.5 model. This is not a minor adjustment to the search bar but a vision of a different way of engaging with information.
AI Mode is optimized to manage longer, more involved, and sophisticated questions so users can pose questions that have previously needed several searches. Whether you are booking a vacation, researching smartphones, or trying to determine how to repair a leaking faucet, AI Mode can deconstruct your question into subtopics and present a complete, conversational answer.
What is so revolutionary about this feature is the fact that it has multimodal capability. You may type, say, or even insert an image to get your question answered. For instance, take a picture of a plant and ask for tips on how to take care of it, or use speech to ask for a list of the top budget laptops for students. The system accesses Google's Knowledge Graph, real-time information, and shopping signals to offer rich, actionable responses.
India's early testers are already sending 2–3 times longer questions than usual, indicating a turn toward more natural, exploratory conversations. And it's not about providing answers—it's about grasping. Follow-up questions are supported by AI Mode, meaning you can dive deeper without having to start over.
This launch is a continuation of Google's larger mission to make search more natural and smarter. With India being a among the biggest voice and visual search markets, the nation is a natural destination for this cutting-edge experience. Google Lens, for example, is used more in India than any other place on earth—a use case AI Mode is set to further accelerate.
Available now in English through Google Labs, AI Mode remains an experimental capability. Google has underscored that although the feature is robust, under low-confidence conditions, it will from time to time revert to good ol' search results—safety still being top of mind.
