This button will appear below the search bar when you open a new tab in Chrome. It will allow users to ask complex questions, go deeper into a topic, or continue exploratory conversations.
Google said the new shortcuts feature will be available in the United States starting Wednesday. It will soon be available in 160 more countries around the world. It will also be available in several other languages, including Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and more.
According to analysts, this initiative is Google's attempt to keep mobile users on its search platform. With the rise in popularity of tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Perplexity AI, Google wants users to experience AI search within Chrome, without having to go outside.
Google first launched 'AI Mode' in March this year. Since then, the feature has been getting new features regularly. Last October, Google expanded the feature to 180 countries.
Recently, Google has added some more advanced features to this mode. Now users can book event tickets through AI mode. They can make beauty and wellness appointments. They can even reserve restaurant seats. Since Google launched this 'Agentic' feature in August, it has received a lot of response from users.
In addition, the 'Canvas' feature, launched in July, helps users plan their studies and keep information organized. With Google Lens, users can now ask questions about anything they see on their desktop screen.
Google officials say the new AI mode will make the search experience faster, more personal, and more intelligent for Chrome users.
Technology analysts believe this is a significant turning point in Google's search service, which will lay the foundation for future AI-based web browsing.
