Google’s AI Mode, announced at I/O 2025, feels like having a personal stylist, detective, and checkout clerk rolled into one.

Say you’re hunting for a travel bag for a rainy May trip to Portland, Oregon. Type that into AI Mode, and it triggers a “query fan-out,” running multiple searches at once to pinpoint waterproof bags with easy-access pockets.
