In a bid to enhance its already dominant position, Google is making significant strides in upgrading Google Search with new artificial intelligence features, beginning today. With the integration of Gemini AI and innovative enhancements from previous AI advancements, Google is poised to revolutionize the way users interact with search results.
AI Takes Center Stage in Google Search
Since its launch in the U.S. in April 2025, Google Search’s AI Mode has seen a phenomenal response, with users doubling their queries each quarter. AI Mode recently surpassed one billion monthly users, leading to a record number of queries in Q1 2026.
Starting today, Google is rolling out an update that introduces Gemini 3.5 Flash as the default AI model for the AI Mode. Alongside this, the search box has been enhanced to automatically expand as needed to accommodate complete queries.
Users can now input a variety of media—including text, images, files, videos, and even Chrome tabs—into the intelligent search box. This feature will become available today in all countries and languages that support AI Mode.
Ever found yourself wanting to ask a follow-up question after reading an AI-generated response? Now you can engage in a meaningful dialogue with AI Mode, with context preservation ensuring increasingly relevant links and articles. This conversational feature is accessible globally on both mobile and desktop platforms.
Meet Your New Information Agents
Today marks the dawn of the Search agent era, allowing users to create, customize, and manage multiple AI agents within Google Search. The first of these, information agents, will continually seek out and provide the answers you need.
Information agents will scour the web for data, from blogs to news sites, delivering real-time insights on various topics, such as finance and sports. For instance, if you are following trade rumors about sports figures like Giannis Antetokounmpo, these agents will keep you updated with the latest information. Information agents will be available for Google AI Pro & Ultra subscribers starting this summer.
Convenient Booking Features Added to Google Search
Additionally, Google Search will now include agentic booking capabilities to help users find local services. For example, if you’re looking for a karaoke room that fits six people and serves dinner on a Friday night, just ask Google, and it will provide a list of suitable options along with direct reservation links.
A Customized Search Experience Awaits
With the implementation of Google Antigravity and Gemini 3.5 Flash, Google Search is set to incorporate advanced generative UI features. Users can expect visual tools such as graphs, charts, and simulations for an enriched search experience, all at no cost this summer.
Moreover, Google is enhancing Personal Intelligence in Search, integrating insights from apps like Google Photos and Gmail to provide more personalized responses. This update will be rolled out to users in over 200 countries and territories across 98 languages.
Through these enhancements, Google is committed to improving Search, ensuring that users receive relevant and practical responses.
