Google's AI Mode Search Engine Goes Public Beta

Google is rolling out its AI Mode search engine to a small percentage of US users. This AI-powered search will answer queries with AI-generated responses based on Google's index, unlike traditional search results. Positioned prominently in the search tab, AI Mode competes with similar offerings from Perplexity and OpenAI. Google has removed the waitlist and added features such as saved searches and clickable cards for products and places, enhancing user experience.
