Google Enhances AI Mode in Search with Gemini 2.5 Pro, Deep Search, and AI Calling Features

More advanced AI capabilities are coming to Search

Making the most powerful Gemini models available in AI Mode in Search Starting today, we're bringing Gemini 2.5 Pro to AI Mode, giving you access to our most intelligent AI model, right in Search. Gemini 2.5 Pro excels at advanced reasoning, math and coding questions, helping you with your complex queries with links to learn more. Subscribers can select the 2.5 Pro model from a drop-down menu in the AI Mode tab. The default model in AI Mode will continue to be helpful for fast, all-around assistance on most questions.

You Can Now Use Gemini 2.5 Pro and Deep Search With AI Mode in Search

Deep Search runs hundreds of searches to prepare a report about the query Google announced new features for its AI Mode tool in Search on Wednesday. Two new upgrades for the artificial intelligence (AI)-driven search experience are now available to the paid subscribers, while one new feature is available to select users. The upgrades include access to the Gemini 2.5 Pro AI model, and a new Deep Search mode for complex queries. On the other hand, the Mountain View-based tech giant is adding a new AI agent to the tool that can call businesses for pricing and availability information. In a blog post, the tech giant announced three new features for AI Mode in Search. The first couple of features -- Gemini 2.5 Pro and Deep Search -- are only available to the Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers in the US, who have opted into the AI Mode experiment in Search Labs. On the other hand, the calling AI agent is available to all AI Mode users in the US. With Gemini 2.5 Pro, AI Mode users can ask questions about mathematics, reasoning, and coding directly in Search, something the platform could not do previously. The large language model (LLM) can now handle all these queries and share relevant links to help users learn more about the topic. Notably, to use Gemini 2.5 Pro, users will have to tap on the dropdown menu next to AI Mode. By default, the standard model will be selected, which is designed to provide faster but more general responses. The Deep Search mode is built on Gemini's Deep Research and powered by the Gemini 2.5 Pro model. It is aimed at helping users with queries that are nuanced or require a wider search to find relevant information. For instance, users can ask, "I'm planning to buy a house in New Delhi's Saket. What are the nearby schools, marketplaces, and closest metro station and their commute distance on foot?" and the AI will create a comprehensive report on the same. Google says Deep Search is useful when users have a query about their job, hobbies, or studies. It can also be used when users need assistance with financial analysis or a trip itinerary with specific requirements. Finally, the tech giant is also introducing agentic capability in AI Mode. This particular feature can be used to call businesses to learn about their pricing and availability. When users search for queries about specific businesses around them, AI Mode will show a new "Have AI check pricing" option. After tapping on it, the interface will ask a couple of questions to narrow the query, and then begin calling the establishments. After it has learned the pricing and availability of the businesses, it can send the report via email or SMS. Google says the feature is aimed at saving users' time and creating new opportunities for businesses.

Google expands AI Mode with Gemini 2.5 Pro, Deep Search, and Agentic AI calling

Google has announced the rollout of Gemini 2.5 Pro in AI Mode, exclusively for AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers, who can choose this model from a drop-down menu in Search. Gemini 2.5 Pro excels in advanced reasoning, math, and coding, offering detailed and accurate responses for complex queries. The rollout also includes Deep Search, Google's most sophisticated research tool, integrated with Gemini 2.5 Pro. It performs hundreds of automated searches, reasons across different information sources, and creates comprehensive, fully cited reports quickly. This feature supports professional, academic, hobbyist research, and important life decisions like home buying and financial analysis. Google has introduced an agentic capability that lets Search call local businesses on your behalf. When searching for services like "pet groomers near me," users can click "Have AI check pricing" to have the AI inquire about availability and prices, saving time and effort. The AI gathers details from various businesses and presents them in a simple, comparable format. Companies retain control over these AI interactions through their Google Business Profile settings, maintaining privacy and control. Robby Stein, Google Search's VP of Product, announced that these capabilities will first be introduced to subscribers of AI Pro and Ultra tiers, reflecting Google's strategy of launching advanced AI features to select users before broader global availability.
