Google extended the AI Mode (its AI-driven search experience) to five new languages and, after more than six months of testing in English only, can now support access by other users around the world.
Monday, Google announced that the AI model would now support Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean and Brazilian Portuguese. The update, which was launched in the United States last month and subsequently extended to the United Kingdom and India, has now rolled out the AI-driven experience to 180 new markets.
“With this expansion, more people can now use AI Mode to raise complex issues in their preferred language, while exploring networks in greater depth.”
AI Mode was first launched as an experimental high-level subscription to Google One AI. It is Google ‘ s response to the AI search platform, including the Mountexity and OpenAI ChatGpt searches. This function uses a self-defined version of the Gemini 2.5 model with multi-model and reasoning functions.
In August, Google introduced a proxy function under AI Mode to provide a restaurant referral and support local service appointments and the future of ticket bookings. These updates are currently limited to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the United States and can be obtained through the laboratory’s proxy function under AI mode experiment. The price of Ultra Tier was USD 249.99 per month.
So far, Google’s AI mode has been accessed through a special tab on the search result page and a button in the search bar. As Logan Kilpatrick, the team product manager at Google DeepMind, has shown, the company appears to be working to make this AI-LED search “quick” and to respond to the user post on X last week.
Google’s latest AI update (including AI model and AI overview) has been criticized for influencing search hits. Last month, however, Google denied that its AI search function was killing website traffic.
