Google presented a new mode for its search engine at its I/O conference. Powered by artificial intelligence, this new mode gives Google Search new "superpowers" by integrating the Gemini model directly into the search bar. This new mode, called AI Mode, is already available in the United States. And other innovative features will arrive in a few weeks.
Google Search is the most used search engine in the world. The market share is simply indecent. Nearly 90% of queries made worldwide are made on Google Search. Queries that concern information, but not only. Users also want to find photos, videos, and products to buy. They want to know the weather, flight times, the exchange rate, and much more.

However, since the advent of generative models such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Mistral, or Gemini, searching for information is no longer necessarily the easiest way to obtain information. You just have to ask your favorite intelligence. More and more Internet users are therefore turning away from Search. To avoid losing its audience, its leadership position, and potentially some of its revenue, Google has made an interesting decision: integrating Gemini into Google Search. The result is called "AI Mode," information made official this evening at the I/O conference held in Mountain View.
Google brings a super-powerful mode to its search engine
AI Mode is a new search mode available in the web version of Search. It appeared a few days ago in a leak. This mode is accessible alongside the buttons already present: voice search and visual search. AI Mode uses a customized version of Gemini 2.5, which searches the web and suggests an answer to a question. This response is presented as a text accompanied by links to sites, images, locations, streaming videos, etc.
AI Mode is therefore a new way to perform a search on Search. The button will be available in the coming hours in the United States only. It is intended to bring back to Search all those who have left the engine to perform their information searches with Copilot, ChatGPT or Gemini. And it will continue to evolve in the coming weeks. Indeed, Google has presented the upcoming AI Mode features that will continue to revolutionize the way we use the search engine.
First, the connection to your personal information with "Personal Context". This option allows you to use your personal data from Gmail, for example, to adapt the results according to your interests. Then, Deep Search which allows you to drastically increase the number of sources to find a more complete and relevant answer to your questions. Finally, Google Search will become your "personal shopper" by offering you, thanks to AI, to virtually try on a garment. All of this will happen this summer… but still only in the United States.
