- Google is working on a new shortcut for Pixel Launcher’s search box that opens the new AI mode in Google search.
- The AI mode is an upcoming feature in the Google Search app that allows you to interact with search more call.
- The shortcut will be to the left of the microphone and lens icons.
To ensure that the core the Google Search product does not fall behind competitors, Google is working to add generative AI to search. This started with the introduction of AI overviews On search, which uses Generative AI to summarize the search results. Generative Ai Chatbots as Google’s own Gemini Provide a far more conversation experience than Google searches, so to bridge the gap, Google prepares a new “AI mode” for Google search. We now have an early look at how Google allows you to access this AI search mode straight from the Pixel phone’s home screen.

Google Search’s upcoming AI mode Currently tested internally by employees, and thanks to a leak we have an idea of how it will work. The feature is apparently driven by a custom version of Gemini 2.0 with “advanced reasoning and thinking options” designed to accommodate more open and exploratory questions, such as those who ask Google for advice on something or to compare things. In addition, the feature will allow you to ask follow -up questions, so you can request that Google get more information or expand part of the answer.
Thank you 9to5googleWe have an idea of how AI mode can be reached on PCs. It looks like it’s going to be a new AI mode tag top next to Search’s regular image, news, shopping, etc. Filters. Clicking it launches an interface where an AI-generated response replaces the usual results. Some relevant links still appear to the page, but they are nowhere near as prominent as they are currently hunting. Finally, at the bottom is a text box where you can ask follow -up questions.
Although the leak did not show what AI mode will look at Android phonesAt least we know how it will access. It will be a Shortcut in the Google Search app itself It allows you to turn between the usual search mode and AI mode, and there will also be a shortcut that you can add to the Google Search wide.
The search wide at the bottom of the Pixel Launcher on Pixel phones is actually not part of the Google Search app, so Google needs to update it separately to add a shortcut to AI mode. That’s exactly what the company is preparing to do, with the other beta of Android 16 Adding an AI mode icon and code that specifies the location on Pixel Launcher’s search box. Here is the aforementioned icon for Google’s AI mode that I extracted from Pixel Launcher in Android 16 beta 2:
