Highlights
- Google AI Mode handles complex, multi-part queries using the “query fan-out” technique for richer, in-depth results.
- It supports voice, text, and image inputs, tailored to India’s growing visual search trend.
- Available via Google Labs, the feature is still experimental and shaped by real-time user feedback.
Google Search’s advanced AI Mode has entered the Indian market with an experimental tweak under Google Labs for English users. It was first introduced in the U.S. and has garnered positive responses from early testers who greatly appreciated its speed, quality, and new-age answers. The company is thus now bringing the feature to India to understand what works best for Indian users and to incorporate these insights into its enhancement in short order.
Gemini 2.5 Powers Complex Query Handling
At the heart of Google AI Mode, and undergoing the considerable application of its evolving self, the model stands as Gemini 2.5, customized. This advanced AI thus enables the search engine to comprehend and answer “longer, more complex and nuanced questions,” which would typically require performing separate searches from question to question.
The users in early trials have posed questions two or three times longer than ordinary search queries, displaying its utility for more in-depth inquiry and technical matters such as product comparison, trip, itinerary organisation, or a thorough explanation of how-to guides. For example, according to Google’s article, users can ask, “My kids are 4 and 7 and have lots of energy. Suggest creative ways to get them active and moving indoors, especially on hot days, without needing a lot of space or expensive toys.” and then follow with related queries such as: “And some activities they could do on their own?”
Query Fan-Out Enables Deep Search Analysis
Behind the scenes, Google AI Mode empowers an interesting technique called the “query fan-out technique.” This entails taking a user’s complex query and breaking it down into various subtopics, prompting many concurrent searches on their behalf. This helps Google Search penetrate deeper into the Web to find the most relevant content that fits the query’s nuances.
This experience is compelling because it can appeal to advanced AI and Google’s vast information systems. So the user is enabled to consume high-quality web content, tap into fresh, real-time content sources such as the Knowledge Graph, gather information about the real world, and shop for billions of products, all through this mode.
Integrated Access to Google’s Vast Information Network
As voice and visual search options are massively popular in India, with Google Lens usage said to be even higher there than in any other country globally, Google AI Mode has been designed to be fully multimodal. This means one may ask questions in text, use voice, or upload pictures. On the microphone icon, tap on a voice query within Google AI Mode.
You can use it, for example, when you have long, detailed questions or are moving. Blending Google Lens into AI Mode creates better offerings and helps users ask complex questions about what they see. For instance, a new plant has arrived at your home, and you open the Google app, take a picture of it, and ask, “What is this plant? Give me instructions on how to repot and take care of it?” The AI will analyse the visual elements, identify the plant, and provide a well-detailed step-by-step guide with relevant links.
From labs.google.com, the user has to locate the “Google AI Mode” experiment and switch it on. This allows users to initiate AI Mode by clicking the “Try AI Mode” button. Otherwise, accessing AI Mode when doing a regular Google search and then clicking the “AI Mode” tab at the top of the search results page is possible.
Making Searching Easy
This launch is a significant step in Google’s long-term plan to make information discovery easier in Search. The above is a layer on top of features like AI Overviews, which have been used by over 1.5 billion people globally each month and have increased in usage by over 10% for queries in which they show up in major markets like the U.S. and India.
AI Mode tries to answer the query with an AI response as much as possible, but when there is low confidence about the answer, it returns to a regular web search result. Google states that the product is in a rough early stage of development, and user feedback will help agile and ongoing improvements.
