"Google is testing showing an AI Mode history button within the local panel in Google Search. When you are viewing a specific business or organization, there may be an AI Mode button in a history enclosure under the call, directions, buttons. It honestly almost looks like a bug but here is a screenshot of this from Brad Brewer, he shared this with me on X:"
"When you click on it, "It is currently switching between a deep link to AI Mode which triggers a history prompt, or the following where an AI Overview is expanded," Brad explained. Again, this feels like some weird bug to me but who knows. Then there is also this from Higman - which makes me think the one above is similar and a bug? Or this one? Lol barf! pic.twitter.com/O4BT4B5KX1- Anthony Higman (@AnthonyHigman) October 16, 2025 Forum discussion at X."
Google is testing an AI Mode history button that appears in the local panel of Google Search when viewing a specific business or organization. The button appears inside a history enclosure beneath call, directions, and other action buttons. Clicking the button alternates between a deep link that triggers a history prompt and an expanded AI Overview. Screenshots and examples were shared on X by observers including Brad Brewer and Anthony Higman. Multiple examples appear inconsistent and possibly buggy. The feature may be an intentional UI test or an unintended display bug, prompting forum discussion and speculation.
