Google is preparing to publicly unleash its AI Mode search engine tool for the first time. The company announced today that “a small percentage” of people in the US will start seeing an AI Mode tab in Google Search “in the coming weeks,” allowing users to test the search-centric chatbot outside of Google’s experimental Labs environment.

The new mode is the latest step in the trend of tech companies integrating AI tools into more of our daily processes.

Google's new AI Mode takes Search's real-time information access and combines it with the best generative AI capabilities -- such as longer natural queries and personalized answers -- to create an AI search engine experience.
