New Delhi: Google has officially launched its AI Mode feature for all users in India, eliminating the need for enrollment in Labs and making the advanced AI search experience available directly in Google Search and the Google app. The rollout began today and will continue over the coming days, with the feature accessible in English through a dedicated tab in the search interface.

The expansion follows the initial Labs experiment launched in June 2024. Google says users have embraced AI Mode’s ability to handle complex, multi-layered questions that would traditionally require multiple searches by the users. The feature, powered by a custom version of Gemini 2.5, allows users to ask queries 2-3 times longer than those typical searches users make in this AI Mode.
AI Mode’s multimodal capabilities enable users to search using text, voice, or images. The integration of Google Lens allows users to photograph objects and receive comprehensive responses, complete with step-by-step instructions. The system employs a query fan-out technique that breaks complex questions into subtopics and processes multiple queries simultaneously, enabling deeper web exploration.
The advanced reasoning system combines with Google’s information systems, including the Knowledge Graph, real-time sources, and shopping data for billions of products. This integration provides users with fresh, relevant content while maintaining links to original web sources.
The feature addresses India’s preference for voice and visual searches, with Google noting that more users employ Google Lens in India than anywhere else globally. All features from the Labs version remain available, including follow-up questions for deeper exploration.
