Search interest in latte art reached an all-time high globally this year! So this International Coffee Day, Rajan Patel and I tried to level up our barista skills using Search Live ☕️ We had it talk us through the pour step-by-step, then showed what we made for some real-time (and very honest) critique. Turns out making a tulip latte is harder than it looks 😅 Try it for yourself and ask Search anything.

(1/2) Today we’re starting to test a new way to seamlessly go deeper in AI Mode directly from the Search results page on mobile, globally. This brings us closer to our vision for Search: just ask whatever’s on your mind – no matter how long or complex – and find exactly what you need. You shouldn’t have to think about where or how to ask your question.

(1/2) Just in time for back to school: the power of agentic coding has landed in Search. Anyone can now create custom tools and simulations to visualize different topics. One cool example: I asked AI Mode “make an interactive 3D fractal Mandelbulb visual I can zoom into” and it coded and rendered this visualization, right in Search & on the fly. Available globally in English (free of charge). Try it by asking AI Mode to create a simulation for whatever’s on your mind. Plus, we’ve started to roll out these interactive visuals in AI Overviews. lmk what you create!

Today, we’re opening up access to Personal Intelligence for AI Mode in Search in the U.S. 🚀 This feature has totally changed how I use AI in Search. Here’s how it works: 1️⃣ Opt in to connect apps like Gmail and Google Photos. Search connects your info to give you responses that uniquely match your specific context and interests. 2️⃣ Start asking for things like ideas and recommendations, where this is particularly helpful. For example: I wanted new podcast ideas and Personal Intelligence in AI Mode gave me spot-on recs for AI and product building shows that are similar to some of my favorites (hey Lenny Rachitsky!). It even found some unexpected options around dad life working in tech. 🎧

(1/2) Personal Intelligence just landed in AI Mode – unlocking a Google Search experience that really *gets* you. Starting with subscribers, if you opt in to connecting Search to apps like Gmail and Google Photos, you can get responses that are uniquely helpful and tailored to you. I’ve been testing this out a ton and I’m genuinely impressed at how intuitive it’s been. AI Mode is not just searching, it’s helping connect the dots across my interests and preferences. For eg: it found family activities that slot perfectly into my travel plans – and even uncovered items that match my specific style... (like nailing it with recommending new shoes! 👟)

We've heard feedback on recipe results in AI Mode, and we’re making updates to better connect people with recipe creators on the web. Starting today, when you search for meal ideas like “easy dinners for two,” you can tap on the dish to see links to relevant recipe sites, plus a short overview of the dish to help with inspiration. We're also planning to bring helpful information like cook time to more recipe results, which testers have found useful for deciding on a recipe. We know there's more work to be done on this, so stay tuned for future updates.

I’m personally excited about the era of Search agents. You’ll be able to create, customize, and manage multiple AI agents for tasks, right in Search. Starting with information agents this summer, you can ask Search to keep you updated on topics you care about. Your agent will operate 24/7 to intelligently reason and research and send you a comprehensive update, with links to dive deeper – like if you want to know right when your favorite sneaker collab drops, or is available in a new colorway. #GoogleIO

(1/2) AI in Search continues to make it easier to ask Google *anything* and get a helpful response. Today, I'm excited to share another step towards that vision: AI Mode – our most powerful AI search – is coming to the Chrome address bar. This means you can use AI Mode to ask complex, multi-part questions right from the same place you already search and browse the web from Chrome. And you can quickly ask follow-up questions and explore more content from across the web. We’re rolling this out to users in the U.S. later this month and will expand to more countries and languages in the weeks ahead.
