AI Mode serves as a pivotal connection between traditional search functions and the innovative Gemini chatbot, accessible solely through its dedicated website or app. The primary objective of AI Mode is to provide direct answers to user queries whenever possible, while also prominently displaying links to the sources of information. Google highlighted that AI Mode will leverage shopping data for a vast array of products.
Similar to the Gemini chatbot, AI Mode enables users to ask follow-up questions and offers a multimodal experience, allowing queries to be made through text, voice, or images. Google emphasized that AI Mode will operate only when it has a high degree of confidence in the accuracy of the results. In cases where confidence is lacking, the tool will simply generate a list of search results. While certain features, like comparison tables, may not be initially available in AI Mode, a spokesperson mentioned that Google plans to introduce them gradually.
Additionally, Google announced the launch of Gemini 2.0 model for AI Overviews, aimed at enhancing search results for more intricate queries such as coding, advanced mathematics, and multimodal inputs.
