Google’s Search Live in AI Mode, a real-time, two-way conversation feature powered by Gemini, is set to launch soon in India, making it the first country outside of the US to receive the feature.
Here is a summary of the key points:
* Feature: Search Live is a real-time, two-way conversational experience within Google Search’s AI Mode that also supports video input via Google Lens.
* Confirmation: The launch was confirmed by Google Search VPs, Rajan Patel and Hema Budaraju, who noted the decision was driven by the high usage of AI Mode among users in India.
* Significance: The feature was first released in the US in July, and India will be the first international market to receive the expansion, highlighting its importance to Google.
* Functionality: Search Live allows users to verbally ask questions and follow-up queries, getting real-time responses. It integrates with Google Lens, enabling users to simply point their camera at an object and ask questions about it for a more intuitive search experience, rather than having to take a picture and type a query.
