Google has introduced its AI mode, a search tool for Q&A style, to users in India today. The company said that this tool is still in the experimental phase and that users must register for it Through search laboratories.
As soon as a user has chosen, he can ask questions in English. Google has not indicated whether it intends to support local languages or when possible.
Users can search for answers in complex, multi -part questions such as “My children are 4 and 7 and have a lot of energy. Suppose creative ways to get them active and enter, especially on hot days, without needing a lot of space or expensive toys.” In addition, users can ask follow -up questions to refine results.
Google started testing the AI mode with Premium subscribers in the US earlier this year. The company then started to roll out the position in broad lines for all American users after the Google IO event. In the course of time, the company has added a store function, introduced speech and image support and also introduced advertisements.
The company said that speech and image search functions are supported for users in India, given that voice is a popular mode for searching. It added that the AI mode is powered by an adapted version of Gemini 2.5. The company also noted that early testers from the AI mode 2-3x require longer questions.
With more than 870 million internet users, India is one of the largest markets for Google. It also acts as a test area for the company to observe how multilingual users use its products.
Although Google still has a lion’s share in the search market, people in their daily lives have started using chat-based AI tools such as chatgpt and perplexity. With AI mode, Google wants users who prefer that type of interface to use its own product.
Apart from the AI mode, Google has pushed products such as AI overviews, which summarize the query results for you, in the search. The company said in April that more than 1.5 billion people use AI overviews around the world. Earlier this month, The Wall Street Journal Reported that the AI functions of Google Uitgevers are hurting, which has seen a traffic system of organic searches.
