About
Google AI Mode is a conversational, AI-driven search experience inside Google Search. The connected apps capability lets AI Mode link to third-party services based on the user's prompt, rather than only returning an answer and web links.
In a demo covered by YouTube creator Matt Wolfe, a grocery-list prompt in AI Mode was handed off to Instacart. The pages fetched for this entry did not list which other apps are supported, how the connection or permissions work, or which regions and languages have access, so those details are unconfirmed here.
AI Mode is accessed through Google Search on the web and in Google's apps. Help documentation is on the Google Search support site.
