Google has officially rolled out its new “AI Mode” in US search, integrating the Gemini chatbot directly into the search experience. Announced at Google’s annual developers conference, this feature aims to provide users with an expert-like conversation interface rather than traditional search results.
CEO Sundar Pichai described this as a “new phase of the AI platform shift,” highlighting the technology’s advanced reasoning capabilities for handling complex queries. The company also unveiled plans for AI-powered glasses in partnership with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster, positioning itself against Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses.
Despite past challenges with AI implementation, including some widely mocked responses from its AI Overviews feature, Google reports the technology now receives 1.5 billion uses monthly across 200+ countries.
This strategic move comes as Google battles both ChatGPT’s growing influence and an ongoing US monopoly case challenging its search dominance.
