Google AI Mode Being Tested In Wild, Product/Place Cards, History Tab & More
Briefly

Google is significantly enhancing its AI Mode, offering expanded features and immediate access to all U.S. users aged 18 and older. Previously in testing phases, AI Mode now introduces product and place cards, allowing users to see local information such as ratings and promotions. The addition of a history panel enables users to revisit previous queries for a seamless experience. According to Google, these updates reflect ongoing improvements based on user feedback, signaling a potential wider rollout at the upcoming Google I/O event.
To me, that means Google will potentially soon open AI Mode up to all users - maybe as soon as at Google I/O in a couple of weeks.
For local spots, like restaurants, salons and stores, you can quickly see info like ratings, reviews, and opening hours, and if you're looking for a product, you'll see shoppable options with real-time prices.
A small percentage of people in the U.S. will see the AI Mode tab in Search, and we'll continue to incorporate feedback into the experience.
Finally, Google added a "history" panel where you can see your previous queries and pick up from where you left off.
