AI Mode is undoubtedly one of the top AI innovations that Google has introduced to Google Search. It functions similarly to having a chatbot (like ChatGPT or Gemini) available in a specific tab within Google Search, prepared to respond to intricate queries using conversational language. AI Mode is optional and not the default experience, allowing you to access it only when necessary. Since its launch a few months back, Google has rolled out multiple updates to AI Mode, but the upgrade on Tuesday could be the breakthrough feature you’ve been anticipating from this type of Google Search AI functionality. AI Mode will now recognize when you prefer to view images over blocks of text and will incorporate them into the search results, while still supporting natural language dialogue.
Users frequently search online for products they wish to view, but Google Search results have typically centered around text outputs. The designated Images tab will show relevant visuals, yet the traditional non-AI Google Search interface doesn’t suffice in retrieving the desired results. The recent AI Mode feature that Google launched on Tuesday addresses this gap, enabling Google Search to present results that align more closely with your queries.
Your query won’t need to be loaded with keywords, as we’ve conditioned ourselves to conduct web searches. This is where Gemini’s capability to comprehend natural language shines. You’ll converse using phrases that flow like a discussion with another individual (or ChatGPT or Gemini) to indicate to AI Mode what you want to see, and the AI will grasp that images should take precedence over text.
