Google's AI Mode Expansion to India
• Google has officially launched AI Mode globally, first in India via Search Labs.• AI Mode uses a Gemini 2.5 model and advanced "query fan-out" technology to break down complex questions into multiple sub-queries and reassemble a coherent answer.
• It supports multimodal input: users can ask questions via text, voice, or images through Google Lens.
• It allows for longer, nuanced queries (2–3 times the usual length) and follow-up questions in conversational context.
• Key features in India include text, voice, visual, and structured answers.
• The feature is still experimental and only available in English.
• India is one of Google's biggest markets, with over 870 million users, and a top country for Google Lens adoption.
• The launch of AI Mode in India will shape future global availability and language support.
