"Search Live builds on Google's Project Astra technology and is available through the company's AI Mode. The feature lets users point their phone camera at objects to get real-time assistance, supporting back-and-forth conversations that draw on the visual context from the camera feed. With this launch, India becomes the second market after the U.S. to get Search Live - a logical move given the country's vast base of early AI adopters, who have helped Google grow products like Gemini's Nano Banana model."
""People in India are power users of multimodal search, forming our largest user base for both voice and visual search globally," said Hema Budaraja, vice president of product management for Search at Google, in a new blog post. Search Live is starting to roll out to users in India today and will reach more people over the coming weeks. Once available, users can access it by tapping the "Live" icon under the search bar in the Google app, or by opening Lens and selecting "Live" from the bottom of the screen."
Google is launching Search Live in India in English and Hindi, bringing AI-powered conversational search to the market. Search Live uses Project Astra technology and is available through AI Mode. The feature allows users to point their phone camera at objects for real-time assistance and supports back-and-forth conversations that use the camera's visual context. India becomes the second market after the U.S. to receive Search Live, leveraging a large base of early AI adopters to help train systems on diverse visual contexts. The rollout begins now and Google also expanded AI Mode to seven Indian languages and broader global language additions.
