This allows users to use AI agents just by asking questions. At the same time, Google also introduced a new search bar supported by AI with smarter reasoning capabilities, marking Google's biggest upgrade in more than 25 years.
The power of AI is present right in the search
According to Google, starting from May 20, they upgraded Search with Gemini 3.5 Flash - their latest Flash model, pioneering with sustainable performance for programming tasks and AI agents - as a new default model in AI mode for global users.
With this change, the search bar automatically expands to provide space for you to describe exactly what you need. Designed to predict search intentions, this feature supports users to ask questions with smarter AI suggestions than the automation feature.
Users can also search multitasking using text, images, files, videos or Chrome tags as input data. You will still receive many search results as you do now.
The Google search bar also simplifies the chat experience when searching. Now, you can easily ask the next questions right from the AI Overview section and smoothly switch to an interactive chat space with AI mode.
The search context will be maintained throughout, and suggestive links and articles will also become more suitable as users learn more deeply. This seamless experience has now been globally deployed on both computers and mobile devices.
AI agents in search
Google also emphasizes the use of information agents, operating in 24/7 background mode in search. With information agents, you can continuously update on all issues you are interested in. This agent will proactively scan the entire Internet, from blogs, news sites to social networking posts, and combine it with Google's real-time updates on finance, shopping and sports, to closely monitor all changes related to your specific questions.
This feature will send you a smart aggregation update, allowing you to perform processing operations directly on the interface. For example, if you are looking for an apartment, you just need to enter all your criteria, the AI agent will continuously scan information and notify you as soon as there is a suitable choice.
Google is also expanding smart booking features in search to a range of local service and experience activities. You just need to set specific criteria, for example, find a private karaoke room for 6 people on Friday nights and have late-night food served - Search will immediately summarize the latest price, room status, along with a direct link for you to complete booking at the supplier you choose.
Expanding personal intelligence in search
Finally, for AI to be truly useful, the system not only needs to understand world information but also needs to understand your own context. Therefore, Google has officially expanded the intelligence feature in AI mode to more users in nearly 200 countries and territories, supporting 98 languages - no need for paid registration.
Now, you can securely connect to applications such as Gmail, Google Photos, and soon Google Calendar. The personal intelligence feature is designed to put transparency, choice and user control at the center.
You are always the one who controls and has full authority to decide whether to connect to applications like Gmail or Google Photos, and when to connect.
