Summary

  • Google is rolling out its AI-driven search tool, AI Mode, across 180 countries and territories, enabling users to seek information via a chatbot-style interface.
  • Currently English-only, the tool can handle complex search queries and has been upgraded to include an ‘agentic’ booking feature for restaurant reservations.
  • This allows users to specify date, time, location and party size and the mode will search buffet reservation platforms for suitable options.
  • In the US, Google is also making AI Mode more personalised, generating search results based on a user’s past searches and interactions.
  • Lastly, users in the US can also now share search results with other people.
