Google announced a new “AI Mode” for its search engine in the United States, aiming to make searching feel more like talking to an expert who can answer almost any question.
This new feature, rolled out after a few months of testing, lets users interact with Google in a more natural, conversational way.
Google is also upgrading its search with its latest AI technology, called Gemini 2.5, and plans to add new tools soon — like automatically buying concert tickets and searching using live video.
In another big move, Google revealed plans to return to the smart glasses market. Their new Android XR-powered glasses will include a hands-free camera and an AI assistant you can control with your voice.
These glasses will be designed with popular brands Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, competing with products from Meta and Ray-Ban.
Google hasn’t said when the glasses will be released or how much they’ll cost, but this shows the company is fully embracing AI to reshape how people interact with technology.
