Google CEO Sundar Pichai said on Tuesday that the company has started to roll out its ‘AI Mode’ in Search for users in India after what he called an “incredible response” to the feature in the labs.
In a post on X, Pichai stated, “After an incredible response in Labs, we’re starting to roll out AI Mode in Search to everyone in India (English to start). It’s a total reimagining of Search, and we’re excited for even more people to use it.”
According to the blog posted on July 8 by Hema Budaraju, Vice President, ‘Product Management, Search,’ the feature will make it easier for users to ask anything to Google and explore topics more deeply on the web. She recalled how the company first introduced AI Mode in India as an experiment in labs in June.
She announced that Google has now started to roll out the AI Mode experience in Google Search with no lab sign-up required. She stated that users in India over the coming days will see a new tab for AI Mode appear in Search and in the Search bar in the Google app.
AI Mode now runs on a customized version of Gemini 2.5 which is the most advanced model in the Gemini family. It’s designed to handle complex, layered questions seamlessly, eliminating the need for multiple Google searches.
For example, you can ask a detailed question like: “My kids are a certain age, full of energy. How can I keep them active indoors during hot days without using toys or needing much space?” AI Mode takes all those details into account at once and gives you a helpful, personalized response, remembering everything you’ve mentioned.
Hema Budaraju said, “We’re now starting to roll out the AI Mode experience in Google Search, with no Labs sign-up required. Over the coming days, you’ll see a new tab for AI Mode appear in Search and in the search bar in the Google app, available in English.
“All the features from the Labs launch will be available: so you can type, use your voice, or even snap a photo with Lens to get a rich, comprehensive response with helpful links, and dig deeper with follow-up questions. We are excited to see how this end-to-end AI search experience helps you explore your curiosity and understand the world around you,” she added.
