Google will have an “AI mode” to find answers

Google will add a new mode to its search engine so that users can get answers via the Gemini chatbot, The Verge reports. Here are the details.

What happened

Google is preparing to add a new AI Mode to its search engine — it will allow users to get answers via the Gemini chatbot.

Users will be able to get not only answers, but also links to relevant web pages. In addition, users will be able to ask additional questions through a special panel that will appear below the answers.

According to information from Android Authority, this feature is already in the beta version of the Google application, and 9to5Google discovered code that allows you to ask questions by voice.

Why is this interesting

In November, OpenAI launched ChatGPT Search — it immediately searches for the necessary information, and then offers links to sources, and also works on the basis of an improved GPT-4o model.

Later, the company made it available to all users. The feature automatically detects when a web search is needed, but you can also activate it manually via the «Web Search» icon.
