Google is testing a new feature called "AI Mode" that aims to enhance the search experience with its Gemini2.0 technology, specifically targeting open and exploratory issues. This feature will provide users with a smarter space for information sorting and link exploration, which is expected to be launched in 2025.
Google Search is conducting internal testing of a new feature called “AI Mode” that aims to provide users with a “persistent space” that can ask more open and exploratory questions. This new experience is based on Google's Gemini2.0 technology and is currently being tested among employees.
According to the description of internal emails, the "AI Mode" takes intelligent search capabilities to the next level, helping users organize information for easy digestion and provides links to explore relevant content on the network. This model is specifically designed for open and exploratory issues that are not well met by current search results. For example, users can ask questions that require suggestions and comparisons, or have a follow-up conversation with the system.
Google provides employees with some example questions to showcase the application scenario of "AI Mode". For example, the user can ask: "How many boxes should I buy to prepare enough pasta for 6 adults and 10 children?" or "Compare the advantages of wool, down and synthetic jackets in terms of thermal insulation, waterproofness and durability Disadvantages. "In addition, users can also ask subsequent questions, such as: "What materials do I need to prepare to start aquatic grassland landscaping?" Then ask: "What shops nearby can buy these materials?"
The "AI mode" uses a "customized version" of Gemini2.0, which has "advanced reasoning and thinking skills". Although the user interface has not been finalized, employees can already see the "early release" desktop experience of this feature, and the same applies to the mobile terminal.
When using "AI Mode", the user still enters the query and presses search. There is also a "AI Mode" option alongside existing filtering options such as images, news, shopping, etc. After clicking, the user will enter an interface similar to a chatbot. The interface displays the content of the user's search, and the answer is displayed below the full-screen interface, which is wider than the current AI overview. Unlike the traditional ten blue links, there is no such link here, but there is a card on the right to provide a link to "deep into the web". This interface is similar to the AI overview design launched last year, and the future version of the AI model will have a richer design.
There is also a text box at the bottom of the answer for users to "ask follow-up questions", and Google apps for Android and iOS also support voice input. Currently, the "AI model" is being tested with Google employees in the United States. Google CEO Sundar Pichai said 2025 will be an important year for search innovation, and this feature is expected to be launched this year.
