"We told you that inside the app's settings you can opt to use Google's AI Mode for all general inquiries. And if you flip that switch, anything you type into the app that isn't a search for some manner of local or Drive-connected data will end up in an interactive chatbot-style question-and-answer session instead of in a more traditional web-style search result listing."
"Google is making a play to be your within-Windows answers engine, chatbot and interface. Will it succeed when Copilot exists? This may have been the question behind many of our readers asking Smart Answers why ChatGPT continues to outperform Microsoft's own AI tool."
Google's new Windows app includes an AI Mode that reroutes general, non-local queries into an interactive chatbot-style question-and-answer session rather than traditional web-style search results. Inside the app's settings, users can enable AI Mode to make the app handle general inquiries conversationally, while searches for local or Drive-connected data remain standard searches. Google aims to position the app as a within-Windows answers engine, chatbot and interface for quick, contextual responses. The app's design reflects a strategic effort to compete directly with Microsoft's Copilot and to capture users who prefer conversational AI over conventional search listings.
