“You can ask whatever’s on your mind and get an AI-powered response with the ability to explore further with follow-up questions and helpful web links. AI Mode does the heavy lifting for you, intelligently organizing information and gives you easy-to-digest breakdowns,” reads the Google Labs page while describing the feature.
With Google AI Mode in Search, users get the ability to go deeper through follow-up questions and helpful links to the web regarding their search query. a custom version of Gemini 2.5, it lets you ask longer, more complex or nuanced questions that would have previously required multiple searches.
“In fact, early testers of AI Mode are asking much longer queries – 2-3x the length of traditional searches – showing that people are already using it for their toughest questions. It’s particularly helpful for exploratory questions and for more complicated tasks like comparing products, planning a trip, or understanding complex how-tos,” said Google in a blog post.
AI Mode uses Google’s query fan-out technique. It breaks the user’s question into subtopics and issues a multitude of queries simultaneously on the user’s behalf, enabling Search to dive deeper into the web than ever before. “This helps you discover even more of what the web has to offer and find incredible, hyper-relevant content that matches your question. You can also easily ask follow-ups like, “Can you suggest some activities that they can do independently” to dig even deeper.”
