Google recently showcased its AI-powered search feature, "AI Mode," through an animated Doodle on its homepage. This feature, powered by the Gemini model, allows users to ask complex questions and receive detailed AI-generated answers through text, voice, or images. First introduced in March 2025, this is its most visible promotion yet, emphasizing Google's commitment to advancing AI amid growing competition. A spokesperson called it “just a fun promo” to increase awareness.
