Google rolls out AI Mode in Search for users across India

Google has begun rolling out its AI Mode in Search for all users in India. Initially introduced via Labs, the feature now offers voice, text, and image-based queries, delivering AI-powered summaries, helpful links, and deeper topic exploration tools in English.

Hyderabad: Google on Wednesday announced the nationwide rollout of its AI Mode in Search, making the feature available to all users in India without requiring a Labs sign-up.

Initially launched as an experiment in June through Google Labs, AI Mode brings the company’s most powerful AI-driven search experience to users. The feature has now been integrated directly into Google Search and the Google app, with a new “AI Mode” tab appearing in the search interface.

Users can access AI-generated answers in English by typing queries, using voice commands, or snapping photos through Google Lens. The responses will include helpful summaries, relevant links, and suggestions for follow-up questions, enabling users to explore topics in more depth.

According to Google, user feedback during the experimental phase was “encouraging,” with many finding value in AI Mode’s ability to simplify complex topics and support learning goals.

“We’re excited to see how this end-to-end AI search experience helps people across India explore their curiosity and understand the world around them,” Google said in a statement.
