Google Search AI mode now available in India, know how to use it here
Google has introduced its AI mode in Search for users in India. Currently this tool is in the experimental phase and users have to opt in through Search Labs. When a user opts in, he can ask questions in English. Google has not clarified when it can be available in local languages. Let’s know in detail about the AI mode of Google Search.
In the blog post, Google said that users can search for answers in difficult and different parts. For example, users can ask questions like “My children are 4 and 7 years old and have a lot of energy. Suggest creative ways to keep them active and moving indoors, especially in the summer without needing too much space or expensive toys.” Apart from this, users can also ask follow-up questions to improve the results. Google started testing the AI mode with premium subscribers in the US earlier this year. The company started rolling out the feature to all US users after its Google IO event. The company later added a shopping feature, then introduced voice and image search support and also introduced advertisements.
The company said that users in India can use the voice and image search feature, as voice search is a very popular mode here. The AI mode has multimodal capabilities, so Google says that users can ask questions by uploading voice, text and photos. To use voice mode, just tap on the microphone and ask in AI mode. It is quite useful if you want answers to long questions anywhere. The AI mode is based on a custom version of Gemini 2.5. The company also said that early testers of the AI mode are asking 2x to 3x longer queries.
With more than 870 million internet users, India is one of the largest markets for Google. It also serves as a testing ground for the company to see how users with different languages use its products. Google still covers a large share in the search market. However, users have started using chat-based AI tools such as ChatGPT etc. in daily life. Users who like this type of interface with AI mode can use Google’s product.
