At the Google I/O 2025 keynote, the Mountain View company announced that it’s bringing AI mode to everyone. The feature is available to try right away for all users in the US. AI Mode was originally a Labs experiment that the company launched earlier this year. However, it’s now available to all users in the United States without any Labs sign-up.
The company says that since it launched AI Overviews, it has “heard from power users who want an end-to-end AI Search experience.” It is due to this demand, that the company has now launched AI Mode as a dedicated tab for everyone in the US.
The new feature will let you ask longer, more complex questions in Google Search, and will be able to give you thoughtful, well-researched, and detailed replies in response. AI Mode uses “more advanced reasoning and multimodality” and has “the ability to go deeper through follow-up questions and helpful links to the web”
Once AI Mode returns a response based on your query, you can ask follow up questions in a manner very similar to a chatbot, or something like Perplexity AI.

Furthermore, AI Mode will also have a “Deep Search” mode, aimed at questions that require a deeper and more thorough response. According to Google, Deep Search in AI Mode can “issue hundreds of searches, reason across disparate pieces of information, and create an expert-level fully-cited report.”
AI Mode is available right now for everyone in the US. As for the rest of the world, we have to wait, or use a VPN to connect to a US server and try AI Mode. Speaking of connecting to a VPN and trying new features, the Try it Out feature in Search is amazing and I recommend you give it a shot.
Toasty Take
I’m not sure how often I find myself asking questions that require more than a few keywords. However, I am planning on trying out AI Mode to see if it can help me plan an itinerary for my next trip better than ChatGPT can.
Since it’s Google, and since it has my personal context, I am hoping AI Mode can do a much better job than most other AI chatbots.
