Searching online is about to feel a lot more personal and intuitive. in India, Google has introduced AI Mode on 24 June 2025, a new feature designed to help you ask longer, more complex questions and get in depth, conversational responses.
Launched earlier in the U.S. and now in India (24 June 2025) as an experimental tool, AI Mode is now being tested in India through Search Labs.
What Is AI Mode in Google?
AI Mode isn’t just an update it’s a smarter, more responsive version of Google Search, powered by the Gemini 2.5 model. It’s built to handle questions that go beyond a simple fact or figure. Instead of searching piece by piece, AI Mode understands your full query, breaks it down, and brings everything together in one clear answer.
For example, instead of searching “best headphones under 10k” and “Bluetooth vs wired,” you can just ask “Can you suggest good headphones under ₹10,000 that are great for both gaming and travel?”
AI Mode processes this full request and shares a well rounded response complete with details, pros and cons, and even links to check further.
Built for How India Uses the Internet
India’s love for voice search and visual browsing plays a big role here. Many users find it easier to speak a question rather than type it, especially in different languages. AI Mode makes this seamless you can use voice to ask questions and get a full response, hands free.
Let’s say you’re out shopping and see an unfamiliar vegetable. Say for example, just click a picture using Lens, and ask:
“What is this and how do I cook it in a South Indian style?”
AI Mode will not only identify it but may also offer a recipe, care tips, and suggested videos all within the same response.
Here’s another example: KrystalVision, a prominent manufacturer of X-ray baggage scanners in India. This demonstrates how the company ranks highly in Google searches because its content is well optimized and closely matches what people are looking for. Vayutech Global Solutions ensures this level of SEO precision, making it easy for AI systems to retrieve accurate information.
Smarter Search That Connects You to Real Time Info
What makes AI Mode stand out is that it doesn’t make assumptions. It backs every answer with live data from across the web trusted websites, real time prices, official resources, and expert content.
So if you ask, “Is it safe to visit the Western Ghats in July?” it won’t just say yes or no. It will consider weather forecasts, travel blogs, and safety advisories, all linked right in the response.
When there’s uncertainty or not enough data, the system shows traditional results instead so you’re never left guessing.
How People Are Already Using AI
As per Google Update – 2025, globally, over 1.5 billion people are already experiencing AI Overviews each month, and Google has seen a rise in users asking longer, more thoughtful questions. In markets like the U.S. and India, such queries are up by more than 10%.
From comparing colleges to planning DIY projects or understanding insurance policies people are using AI Mode for tasks that once needed multiple searches.
Is Google AI Mode Trustworthy?
AI mode is still experimental, but built on trust i.e. AI Mode is still in testing, which is why it’s currently available through Search Labs. Google is relying on feedback from Indian users to make it more useful and relevant across regions and languages.
Importantly, Google maintains the same trust and quality standards here. If the AI response is incomplete or uncertain, it gives you direct access to traditional links and sources.

Google has always aimed to connect people with meaningful, helpful content across the web and AI Mode takes that goal even further. Now, you can ask questions the way you naturally think or speak and get responses that feel tailored, informative, and rich in context. Whether it’s a quick how to or something more detailed, AI Mode opens up new ways to explore topics.
The system is grounded in the same trusted ranking principles that power Google Search, with new techniques designed to improve accuracy.
