- Google provided details on a new update for Search and AI Mode designed to enhance its effectiveness.
- Google Search is now capable of making calls to businesses for pricing and appointment availability upon user request.
- AI Mode is upgraded with Google’s more sophisticated Gemini 2.5 Pro model, which offers improved reasoning for mathematics and coding inquiries as well as Deep Search capabilities.
Google is initiating a significant update for its Search functionality, delivering a considerable enhancement to AI Mode.
A new update is being deployed today (July 15) focused on Google Search and its AI Mode, according to a Keyword update. With regards to the former, Google claims this update aims to position its AI to help users “complete tasks more quickly.” Nothing is quicker than allowing AI to contact businesses and schedule appointments on your behalf, which is what this update enables.
Google emphasizes the autonomous capabilities coming to Search, empowering its AI to call businesses for pricing and visit availability information. For those searching for a pet groomer, Google mentions that users should soon see a “Have AI check pricing” button directly underneath the map. The AI will then guide you through a “request.” It’s a brief questionnaire, allowing the AI to gather all necessary information about you and your pet before making the call.
