Google, the American technology company, upgrades its search engine with an all-new AI mode. It means, besides filters like images, news, videos, shopping, etc., Google search will now have another interesting option of AI Mode. The experimental AI mode is powered by the company’s latest foundational model, Gemini 2.0. It brings the power of AI-powered inferences in your search journey, not as a dialogue box as earlier, but as a separate page with more to come in the future. It is set to transform the way we interact with search engines. 

This new search mode enhances AI overviews with advanced reasoning, deeper analysis, and multimodal capabilities to tackle even our toughest questions easily. The response is always coupled with the relevant search links to make information more accessible and verifiable. It even allows us to ask follow-up questions for whatever query we generate owing to the availability of an entire page.

Dealing with the Tough Ones 

The Gemini 2.0-powered search mode is useful for complex questions that require deeper exploration, comparisons, and reasoning. Instead of opting for multiple searches, this new addition makes handling nuanced queries easier. Whether you're diving into a new concept or weighing detailed options, it will provide you an AI-powered response with helpful links to dig deeper into the matter.

Working Across the Segments

It uses a “query fan-out” technique, running multiple related searches simultaneously across different subtopics like shopping news, images, etc., and data sources too. The results are then combined into a clear, easy-to-understand response. This method offers greater depth and breadth of information compared to a traditional Google search.

This all-new addition makes Google search more convenient than ever by eliminating the hassles of filtering and going through a sea of web pages.
