GB Google Search Launches AI Mode in the UK
Google has officially started rolling out its new AI Mode in the UK, following earlier launches in the US and India.
This new feature adds powerful AI capabilities to Google Search, offering a more interactive and intelligent experience, similar to using a chatbot like Google Gemini.
🤖 What Is Google’s AI Mode?
AI Mode is a new way to use Google Search with the help of artificial intelligence. It works like a smart assistant and is great for:
-
✨ Complex questions
-
🔍 Exploring ideas
-
📊 Comparing products
-
🗺️ Planning trips
-
📚 Understanding how things work
Instead of short keywords, users can now type longer, more detailed queries, and Google will respond with a smarter, more personalized answer.
💬 Example AI Mode Queries
You can now ask Google more human-style questions like:
-
🗓️ “Things to do in Edinburgh this weekend with friends. We’re big foodies who like music but also chill vibes and exploring off the beaten track.”
-
🐦 “How do migrating birds know where to go?”
AI Mode handles these naturally, breaking them into smaller parts and researching each one in real time.
⚙️ How Does AI Mode Work?
Google’s AI Mode is powered by a custom version of Gemini 2.5 — Google’s advanced AI model.
🧠 Key Features:
-
Breaks down your question into multiple subtopics
-
Performs several searches at once (query fan-out)
-
Combines all answers into one clear result
-
Includes highlighted links for deeper reading
🌐 How to Use AI Mode
You can access Google’s AI Mode in multiple ways:
On the Web:
-
Or click the "AI Mode" filter at the top-left of the search results page
On Android & iOS:
-
AI Mode appears at the top of the main tab in the Google app
-
You can also add an AI Mode shortcut to your home screen using the Google Search widget
🇬🇧 UK Launch Details
-
The AI Mode rollout in the UK starts today
-
More countries may get access soon
This expansion follows successful tests in the United States and India, where Google saw users writing longer, more detailed questions than usual.
🔐 Is AI Mode Safe?
Yes. AI Mode uses the same privacy and safety settings as regular Google Search. Users still see clearly marked links, and content is sourced from reliable websites.
However, since it’s still evolving, some answers may not be perfect — Google encourages users to provide feedback to improve responses.
✅ Should You Try AI Mode?
You should try it if you:
-
Like exploring in-depth answers
-
Want help with planning, researching, or learning
-
Prefer natural conversations instead of typing short search phrases
