Today at I/O, we announced that AI Overviews in Google Search are launching in new countries and languages, bringing the helpfulness of AI to more people around the world. With this expansion, AI Overviews are now available in more than 200 countries and territories and in more than 40 languages, with support added for Arabic, Chinese, Malay, Urdu and more.
AI Overviews make it easy to ask new kinds of questions, quickly find information and explore relevant sites across the web. They’ll appear in Search when our systems determine they’ll be most helpful, featuring prominent web links so people can easily learn more. And all of this happens at the speed people expect of Google Search: AI Overviews are delivering the fastest AI responses in the industry.
As people use AI Overviews, we see they’re happier with their results, and they search more often. In our biggest markets like the US and India, AI Overviews is driving over 10% increase in usage of Google for the types of queries that show AI Overviews. This means that once people use AI Overviews, they are coming to do more of these types of queries, and what’s particularly exciting is how this growth increases over time. And we’re continuing to bring new advancements – starting this week, we’re bringing a custom version of Gemini 2.5, our most intelligent model, to AI Overviews in the U.S. so Search can tackle even harder questions.
We look forward to helping people search more effortlessly, in more places around the world. Read more on how we’re continuing to advance Search with AI.
