Google is rapidly scaling its AI Mode in Search, taking it global after its initial rollout in India earlier this year. The company confirmed that the feature is now expanding to 180 countries and territories, bringing advanced AI-driven search capabilities to millions of users worldwide.

Along with the expansion, Google is introducing a new agentic feature designed to help users discover restaurants and make reservations directly through AI Mode.

According to Google, this is only the beginning of a broader rollout as AI Mode will soon handle more real-world tasks. These would include buying tickets, booking appointments, and other everyday activities on users’ behalf. In other words, Google Search is evolving beyond its traditional role and moving towards becoming a task-oriented digital assistant.

Google AI Mode Gets Agentic Capabilities

The highlight of this expansion is the addition of agentic features in AI Mode. Initially, the tool focuses on restaurant discovery and reservations, but Google says it will expand to support services like event ticket bookings and scheduling appointments in the near future.

Currently, users can rely on AI Mode to filter restaurants based on location, date, time, and cuisine preferences. Once the criteria are set, AI Mode scans multiple reservation platforms and websites in real time to present available booking slots.

In a blog post, Google explained that this capability leverages Project Mariner’s live web browsing technology, allowing AI Mode to interact dynamically with the web. At present, these new agentic features are accessible only to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the U.S. through the “Agentic capabilities in AI Mode” experiment in Google Labs.

Personalised Search Results

Another major addition to AI Mode is personalised dining-related search results. Using data from Maps history, past searches, and prior AI Mode interactions, the feature can tailor suggestions for restaurants and cafés aligned with each user’s preferences.

Google also emphasised that users will retain control with the ability to adjust personalisation settings directly from their Google accounts.

New Sharing Options

To improve collaboration, Google is also rolling out a “share” button within AI Mode. This allows users to send AI responses to friends and family, making it easier to plan group outings, coordinate trips, or continue discussions with follow-up questions.
