AI Overviews Expanded, AI Mode Launched
With our new AI features, people are turning to Google Search more than ever to tackle increasingly complex questions. AI Overviews have become a favorite among users, now serving over a billion people, and we're constantly working to enhance and refine this feature.
Expanding AI Overviews
We're excited to announce the launch of Gemini 2.0 for AI Overviews in the U.S., designed to handle tougher questions, starting with coding, advanced math, and multimodal queries, with more enhancements on the horizon. Thanks to Gemini 2.0's advanced capabilities, we can now deliver faster and higher quality responses, making AI Overviews more accessible for these types of queries.
We're also broadening access: teens can now use AI Overviews, and you no longer need to sign in to use them.
Introducing our new AI Mode experiment in Search
As AI Overviews have rolled out, we've heard from avid users who want AI responses for even more of their searches. That's why we're launching an early experiment in Labs: AI Mode. This new Search mode takes AI Overviews to the next level with enhanced reasoning, thinking, and multimodal capabilities, allowing you to get help with your most challenging questions. You can ask anything that's on your mind and receive a helpful AI-powered response, with the option to ask follow-up questions and explore helpful web links.
Powered by a custom version of Gemini 2.0, AI Mode is especially useful for questions that require deeper exploration, comparisons, and reasoning. You can pose nuanced questions that might have previously required multiple searches—like learning about a new concept or comparing detailed options—and receive a comprehensive AI-powered response with links to learn more.
With AI Mode, you'll be able to ask complex, multi-part questions and ask follow-ups to dig deeper. Note: Results are for illustrative purposes and include future-looking features. This example reflects information from a prior date, and may vary.
What sets this experience apart is its integration of advanced model capabilities with Google's top-notch information systems, all built directly into Search. You can access high-quality web content and tap into fresh, real-time sources like the Knowledge Graph, real-world information, and shopping data for billions of products. It uses a "query fan-out" technique, issuing multiple related searches across subtopics and various data sources simultaneously, then compiling those results into an easy-to-understand response. This method allows you to access a broader and deeper range of information than a traditional Google search.
For instance, if you ask, "what's the difference in sleep tracking features between a smart ring, smartwatch, and tracking mat," the custom version of Gemini 2.0 employs a multistep approach to plan, search for information, and adjust the plan based on the findings.
If you want to dive deeper, you can ask a follow-up question like "what happens to your heart rate during deep sleep" to quickly get a digestible response with links to relevant content.
AI Mode helps you search more effortlessly by combining the advanced capabilities of Gemini 2.0 with Google's best-in-class information systems. Note: Results are for illustrative purposes and include future-looking features.
Helping people discover content from the web remains at the heart of our approach, and with AI Mode, we're making it easier for people to explore and take action. With the model's deep information retrieval, users can better express their needs—with all their nuances and constraints—and find the right web content in various formats.
Testing in Labs
We've been gathering feedback internally and from trusted testers, who find AI Mode incredibly helpful—they particularly appreciate the speed, quality, and freshness of the responses.
Now, we're expanding our testing with a limited, opt-in experience in Labs. This experimental approach helps us learn what's most helpful and improve rapidly with feedback from those eager to try it out.
AI Mode is grounded in our core quality and ranking systems, and we're also using novel approaches with the model's reasoning capabilities to enhance factuality. We aim to provide an AI-powered response whenever possible, but in cases where we lack high confidence in the helpfulness and quality, we'll revert to a set of web search results. As with any early-stage AI product, we won't always get it right. For example, while we strive for AI responses in Search to present information objectively based on what's available on the web, some responses might unintentionally appear to take on a persona or reflect a particular opinion.
In this next testing phase, we'll tackle these challenges and make rapid changes to the user experience based on the feedback we receive. We're already working on new capabilities and updates, like adding more visual responses with images and video, richer formatting, new ways to access helpful web content, and much more.
Starting today, we'll begin inviting Google One AI Premium subscribers to be the first to try out this experience in Labs. We look forward to your feedback, so stay tuned for more!

AI 개요는 정말 유용하지만, 가끔은 빗나가요. 구글이 이것을 확장하는 것은 멋지지만, 정확도에 더 집중해 주었으면 좋겠어요. 그래도, 빠른 정보에는 최고예요! 👍

Los resúmenes de IA son súper útiles, pero a veces se equivocan. Es genial que Google esté expandiendo esto, pero desearía que se centraran más en la precisión. Aún así, es excelente para obtener información rápida! 👍

AI Overviews are super helpful, but sometimes they miss the mark. It's cool that Google is expanding this, but I wish they'd focus more on accuracy. Still, it's great for quick info! 👍
