Google is testing a new AI Mode for Search, it said Wednesday. The experimental program generates an entire page of AI-powered results in response to user queries.
Unlike Google’s existing AI Overviews, which surface a single AI-generated answer at the top of a user’s search results, AI Mode is designed to handle more complex, multi-step searches—queries that might otherwise require a number of separate searches. Powered by Google’s generative AI model Gemini 2.0, the tool organizes information in a way that encourages deeper exploration and follow-up questions.
The feature is able to conduct “multiple related searches concurrently across subtopics and multiple data sources,” and then gathers the results in a streamlined, digestible format, explained Google Search’s vp of product Robby Stein in a blog post.
