    Google Launches AI Mode in India: How to Use It Step‑by‑Step

    Google’s new AI Mode in India lets you ask complex queries using voice, text or image in Search Labs. Learn setup and usage step‑by‑step.

    Announced on June 24–25, 2025, Google’s AI Mode brings highly capable search features powered by Gemini 2.5, offering deeper context, advanced reasoning, and multimodal inputs. Early users report richer, more intuitive search interactions—particularly for complex queries and follow‑ups

    What Is AI Mode and Why Does It Matter

    Unlike traditional search, AI Mode understands and processes longer, layered questions, often 2–3 times longer than typical queries. Using a technique called “query fan‑out,” it breaks questions into subtopics to surface comprehensive answers with supporting links and real‑world data

    It’s a game changer for research, planning, troubleshooting, and comparison tasks—helping users avoid multiple searches and get richer information in one go.

    Top Features of AI Mode

    • Advanced reasoning for multi-part queries and deeper follow-up conversations.
    • Multimodal support: Use text, voice, or image inputs (powered by Google Lens). Ideal in India, where Lens usage is highest globally
    • Integration with Google systems: Blends web content, Knowledge Graph, shopping data, and real‑time sources.
    • Failsafe fallback: If AI confidence is low, the system defaults to standard search results to maintain reliability

    How to Enable AI Mode (Step-by-Step)

    1. Open the Google app on Android or iOS or visit Google Search on the web.
    2. Tap the Search Labs icon (looks like a beaker) in the corner.
    3. Locate the “AI Mode” experiment and tap Join or toggle it ON.
    4. Return to Search to find the new “Try AI Mode” button or the tab labelled AI Mode beside All/News/Images
    5. AI Mode is currently available only in English and requires signing in—not available in incognito mode

    How to Use: Query Types & Multimodal Inputs

    • Text: Ask detailed, nuanced questions like
          “Plan a 5-day Kerala family trip under ₹50,000 with elderly-friendly itineraries.”
    • Voice: Tap the microphone in AI Mode and speak your query. Great when you’re on the go.
    • Image: Use Google Lens within AI Mode to ask about what you photograph—e.g. snap a plant and ask “how to care for it?”—and get step-by-step care instructions with links

    Follow-up queries maintain context, so you can refine answers like “recommend low-cost nearby hotels” right after.

    Tips & Best Practices

    • Use AI Mode for exploratory, comparative, planning queries, such as health topics (e.g., best antibiotics side effects comparison), trip route planning, recipe ideas, and more.
    • Speak naturally for voice queries. Be specific.
    • Use eye-catching images when asking via Lens (e.g. plants, objects, menus).
    • Always review links provided to validate information. AI Mode may sometimes underperform if lacking confidence, so check sources.

    Limitations and Feedback Loop

    Google emphasises that AI Mode is still experimental. It may not always deliver accurate responses. When unsure, it defaults to traditional results.
    Feedback is crucial: Users in India are encouraged to report errors or gaps via the Feedback tools in Search Labs for continuous improvement

    Impact on Indian Search Experience

    With over 870 million internet users, India is one of Google’s largest and fastest-growing markets. AI Mode offers a smarter way to search, especially for multilingual, exploratory queries.
    Early adoption may shift user behaviour away from chatbots or manual multi-step searches and towards rich AI-powered replies directly in Google Search

    Marketers, news publishers, and creators should optimise content to appear in AI Mode answers and AI Overviews for better visibility. Those results increasingly drive traffic to source content.

    FAQs

    1. Who can access AI Mode in India?
    Any signed-in Google user in India who opts in via Search Labs (English only).

    2. Can I use it in Hindi or regional languages?
    Not yet. Currently available only in English.

    3. Is it free?
    Yes, there is no cost. It’s available for free as part of Search Labs.

    4. Do I need a special Google account?
    No. A standard Google account is required; not supported in incognito.

    5. Is my data private?
    Yes—AI Mode follows Google’s privacy policy. Feedback helps improve accuracy.

    Conclusion

    Google’s AI Mode rollout in India marks a significant leap forward in redefining how people find information, offering powerful, intuitive AI-powered search within the familiar Google ecosystem. With multimodal inputs, follow-up capability, and deep reasoning, users can tackle complex queries in one seamless experience.

    As AI Mode evolves through user feedback in Labs, India’s digital audience stands to gain smarter search, faster decisions, and richer insights—right in the Google search bar.
