Built for your most complex questions
AI Mode is our most powerful AI search, with more advanced reasoning and multimodality, and the ability to go deeper through follow-up questions and helpful links to the web. Using a custom version of Gemini 2.5, it lets you ask longer, more complex or nuanced questions that would have previously required multiple searches. In fact, early testers of AI Mode are asking much longer queries – 2-3x the length of traditional searches – showing that people are already using it for their toughest questions. It’s particularly helpful for exploratory questions and for more complicated tasks like comparing products, planning a trip, or understanding complex how-tos.
For example, you could ask: “My kids are 4 and 7 and have lots of energy. Suggest creative ways to get them active and moving indoors, especially on hot days, without needing a lot of space or expensive toys.”
Behind the scenes, AI Mode uses our query fan-out technique. It breaks your question into subtopics and issues a multitude of queries simultaneously on your behalf, enabling Search to dive deeper into the web than ever before. This helps you discover even more of what the web has to offer and find incredible, hyper-relevant content that matches your question. You can also easily ask follow-ups like, “Can you suggest some activities that they can do independently” to dig even deeper.
