Technology giant Google announced on Thursday that it will expand its AI mode feature globally, allowing more users to ask complex questions and explore in-depth directly through search. As part of the expansion plan, this feature is now available in English to 180 new countries and regions around the world, previously limited to users in the United States, the United Kingdom, and India. Google said it will soon support more languages and regions.
Another highlight of this update is the addition of the Agentic feature, which gives users more powerful agent capabilities. With this new feature, users can now directly search for and book restaurants within AI mode. Simply enter preferences such as party size, date, time, location, and cuisine, and AI mode will search for available slots on different booking platforms in real time and present a curated list for users to choose from. Google said it will soon expand this capability to local service appointments and event ticket bookings. The Agentic feature is currently available through the "Agent Function in AI Mode" experiment on Google Labs, targeting Google AI Ultra users in the United States.
In addition, Google has introduced a personalization feature for AI mode. U.S. users participating in the AI mode experiment can now receive customized search results based on their personal preferences and interests. For example, when a user searches, "I only have an hour, need a quick lunch place, any suggestions?" AI mode will combine the user's past conversation history, search history, and map activity to recommend more relevant locations, such as prioritizing Italian cuisine or restaurants with outdoor seating based on the user's preferences. Users can adjust their personalization settings at any time in their Google account.
To facilitate collaboration, AI mode also includes a sharing and collaboration feature. The new "Share" button allows users to send AI mode responses to others, so they can join the conversation and work together on planning, such as organizing a trip or birthday party.
