AI Mode
A conversational, AI-first search experience in Google Search where answers are generated and follow-up questions continue the thread.
AI Mode is a separate tab and mode in Google Search, launched in the US in 2025. It splits a question into sub-queries, searches for each and composes an answer with links, and supports follow-up questions in context.
Visibility in AI Mode depends on being retrieved and cited for those sub-queries rather than on a single ranking position.
