Chrome’s AI mode on iOS and Android just received an upgrade. You’ll now see an AI Mode button right under the search bar when opening a new tab.This shortcut is available today in the US, but it’s also coming to more than 160 countries soon. According to Google’s blog, more supported languages are in the works as well, “including Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and more.”Google AI mode was first introduced in March and has received several updates since. Gemini 2.5 powers it and expands its search abilities. Basically, you can receive AI-powered responses to all your questions. You can also ask follow-up questions, and it will remember your conversations with AI mode history.Most importantly, it supports multimodal AI search. This means you can ask your questions by typing text, speaking, or uploading images and PDFs. All these different input sources work.Moreover, AI mode has agentic capabilities. In short, it can act as an autonomous agent and help you with various tasks, such as finding restaurant reservations.Source: Google Chrome AI Mode Has Received Multiple Updates So FarThe new mobile AI shortcut is only the latest in a string of updates. Just yesterday, Google announced new agentic features on Search Labs. You can now book event tickets and appointments, and even finalize purchases.For example, you can ask for two concert tickets, and your browser will show you a list of relevant options with prices. Once you make your choice, it will then direct you to the booking page.Right now, only US Search Labs users can access it, alongside Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. Initially, Google rolled out agentic features in August, and it could only help out with restaurant reservations.Additionally, the August update expanded AI mode to over 180 new countries in English. Furthermore, in October, Google added 35 new languages and over 40 new countries.So, as of this moment, Chrome AI mode is available in more than 200 countries and territories across the globe. It will likely expand its scope even further.Overall, the latest shortcut upgrade could be a win for mobile users. You can now ask your questions on the go and immediately receive relevant answers. Instead of using search prompts and juggling multiple Chrome tabs, you can simply converse with your browser.Of course, it’s not completely error-free. It might miss out on some context clues or misinterpret your queries. Google Chrome AI mode is still a work in progress, with likely even more features in store.
