Google Rolls Out AI Mode in Search to All Users in India, Removes Search Labs Sign Up Requirement



Google has officially launched its AI Mode in Search for all users in India, marking its full release in the country. Previously accessible only through the Search Labs program, the AI-powered search functionality is now available to everyone on both desktop and mobile devices via the Google app for Android and iOS.

This expansion brings the benefits of AI-driven search, powered by the Gemini model, to a wider audience in India. Users can expect enhanced search results and summaries generated by AI, providing quick and comprehensive answers to their queries.
