"Google announced on Wednesday that it's making it easier to access AI Mode on mobile. Users will now be able to access AI Mode, which allows users to ask complex questions and follow-ups to dig deeper on a topic directly within Search, via a new dedicated shortcut button under the search bar when opening a "New Tab" page in Chrome."
"The launch of the new shortcut comes as Google recently expanded AI Mode globally, bringing the feature to 180 new countries. The tech giant also made the feature available in more languages, including Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, and Brazilian Portuguese. Google first launched AI Mode in March to take on popular services like Perplexity AI and OpenAI's ChatGPT Search. Since then, the tech giant has continuously updated the tool with added functionality."
"Yesterday, Google launched new agentic capabilities in AI Mode to allow users to get help with booking event tickets and beauty and wellness appointments in AI Mode. Google first introduced agentic capabilities to AI Mode back in August, when it rolled out the ability for people use the feature to find restaurant reservations. AI Mode also recently launched a Canvas feature that helps you build study plans and organize information over multiple sessions in a side panel."
Google added a dedicated AI Mode shortcut button under the search bar on Chrome New Tab for mobile, enabling complex questions and follow-ups directly within Search. The shortcut launches first in the U.S., with rollout planned for 160 additional countries and languages including Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese. Google previously expanded AI Mode to 180 countries and broadened language support. AI Mode launched in March to compete with Perplexity AI and OpenAI's ChatGPT Search and has received ongoing updates. New agentic capabilities help book event tickets and beauty or wellness appointments, and Canvas and Google Lens features aid study planning and screen-based queries.
