Most people still Google like it’s 2010

You type a question.
You get 10 blue links.
Then you open 5 tabs, skim some blog posts, and try to piece together an answer.

But now… that’s changing.

Google just launched AI Mode inside Search Labs and it completely upgrades how you search.

You can now ask complex questions, get smart summaries, and follow-up like you're chatting with an expert.

Here’s how it works—and how you can start using it today:

What is AI Mode in Google Search?

AI Mode is part of Google’s Search Labs.
It uses Gemini (Google’s most advanced AI model) to turn your searches into conversations.

Instead of just showing links, AI Mode gives:

• Clear, full answers

• Summarized info from multiple sources

• Follow-up options to keep exploring

Think of it like ChatGPT, built directly into Google.

Step 1: How to Turn On AI Mode

To activate it:

1. Visit Google search here

2. Sign into your Google account

3. Enable "AI Mode"

4. Use Chrome for the best experience

→ Once it’s on, you’ll start seeing AI answers at the top of your search results.

Quick test:
Search for “Best AI tools for content creators in 2025”
You’ll get a clean breakdown with real sources.

Step 2: Ask Smarter, Multi-Part Questions

Don’t just type short keywords.
AI Mode works best with layered, specific prompts.

Example:
“Compare Notion vs Trello for content planning — features, pricing, integrations”

It returns a detailed comparison with pros, cons, and follow-ups.

→ Try to follow by asking:

• Which one is better for teams?

• Which integrates with Google Calendar?

• Which is more popular with creators?

Step 3: Use Follow-Ups to Go Deeper

The magic of AI Mode is in the follow-up.

You don’t have to start over, just keep asking. It remembers the context.

Try this sequence:

1. How to start a podcast in 2025

2. What gear do I need under $200

3. Best free editing tools

4. How to grow on Spotify

No more digging through 8 tabs. It’s all in one thread.

Step 4: Use AI Mode for Work, Learning & Daily Life

You can use AI Mode to:

✅ Plan content or campaigns
✅ Summarize complex topics
✅ Speed up research and comparisons
✅ Brainstorm ideas or business models
✅ Learn new concepts quickly

You can even use it for:

• Trip planning

• Meal ideas

• Digital product research

• Side hustle strategies

→ Whether you're a creator, entrepreneur, freelancer, or student—AI Mode is your new sidekick.
