Background
Google has expanded its AI-powered search feature, called AI Mode, to five additional languages: Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, and Brazilian Portuguese. This step will enable more individuals worldwide to access AI Mode in their own language, which will simplify they could easily find answers by using their own language to complex questions.
AI Mode, first launched in March, was initially available in English for Google One AI Premium subscribers. It competes with AI search engines, including the ChatGPT Search of OpenAI. Gemini 2.5 makes up the system, and it is powered with advanced reasoning capabilities, and it also supports a variety of inputs with a smarter and more useful response.
Hema Budaraju, Vice President of Product Management at Google Search, said that expanding the languages will help more people explore the web more deeply and get useful answers in their own language.
Recently, Google added new functions to AI Mode that allow it to help users book restaurant reservations. In the near future, it will also support local service appointments and event ticket purchases. For now, these extra features are only available to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the U.S., which costs $249.99 per month.
AI Mode is easy to find. It appears as a special tab on the search results page or as a button in the search bar. Google has shared plans to make AI Mode the default search option soon.
Some critics worry that AI Mode may lower visits to websites by answering questions directly on Google. However, Google recently denied this claim, saying its AI tools do not reduce web traffic.
