Google has introduced its much-awaited AI Mode Search in India. By deploying AI, this intelligent, conversational version of Google Search delivers precise, readily understandable responses. Forged on Google’s advanced Gemini 2 and Gemini 2.5 models, AI Mode lets users pose follow-up queries, search with images or voice, view visual charts, and access numerous other features. It provides a fresh avenue for delving deep into subjects—completely in simple English and Hindi.
1. Born from Blue Links, the product has grown into AI Conversations.
For many years, ten “blue links” greeted you whenever you performed a Google search. You entered a query, and Google presented you with a menu of sites to investigate. However, in May 2023 at Google I/O, everything took a shift: Google revealed the Search Generative Experience (SGE) within Search Labs. By leveraging AI, the tool produced compact headlines termed AI Overviews.
In May 2024, Google rolled out AI Overviews in the U.S. and then subsequently rolled them out to nations such as India, the UK, Japan, and Brazil. Though these summaries let users quickly grasp a topic, they still appeared under the conventional search results.
