Google Search AI Mode is ready to step into the spotlight
  • Google introduced AI Mode for Search as a Labs experiment back in early March.
  • Now the waitlist is being eliminated in the US, so anyone interested can start testing.
  • AI Mode is also getting new history and shopping tools.

The past couple years have ushered in a whirlwind of progress for all things AI, and companies everywhere have been quick to embrace the new tools that affords. Google in particular has been trying to find a home for AI features across nearly all of its product offerings and that includes the granddaddy of them all, Search. While early efforts with AI Overviews could give results that were a little wonky, the company’s new AI Mode has really started proving just how quickly things can improve, and it’s already become a favorite of ours. Now Google shares the next steps for AI Mode.

Google first introduced AI Mode as an experiment back at the start of March. Just two months later, it’s ready to start expanding.
