Google is planning to give its billions of search users the option to switch to an AI Mode that looks nearly identical to its Gemini AI chatbot. This move would effectively expand Gemini's audience.
A new button will let users quickly access AI Mode within Google Search and possibly refine searches with follow-ups. This feature is seen in Google app v15.49.40 beta.
The Gemini chatbot now operates separately from Google's search engine and has struggled to catch up to rival OpenAI's ChatGPT, indicating a competitive landscape for AI-driven search tools.
We are seeing more overlap between search and AI, outside of just AI Overviews, leading to discussions on how Google Search will change profoundly.
