Google Expands AI Mode in Search to Spanish Speakers Worldwide

Hola, AI Mode: Google brings its powerful search tool to Spanish speakers

The rollout starts today, and Google invites you to try it. However, the update may take a few days to reach everyone. Hola a todos! Google says AI Mode in Search is rolling out globally in Spanish today, giving another big audience access to its most AI-heavy search experience. If you haven't encountered AI Mode yet, it swaps the usual list of links for a full AI-generated answer, complete with follow-ups and sources. It's like a blend of AI Overviews and a chatbot, and is already available in a handful of languages, including Hindi, Japanese, and Brazilian Portuguese. Now Spanish is joining the mix. The company announced the expansion in a short blog post, noting that Spanish speakers everywhere can "ask their most complex questions and get a helpful response in AI Mode." Google even directs you to try it out at google.com/ai. I did try it, both speaking to AI Mode on my phone and typing on the web browser, and it doesn't work where I am just yet. We don't usually get Google updates first here in Mexico, but I held out some hope that the rollout might start with Spanish-speaking countries -- no luck for now. So don't worry if you open AI Mode and it still shrugs at your Spanish queries. Google said the rollout is "starting" today, which usually means it'll take days or even weeks to reach everyone. Still, it's nice to know Google is finally ready to serve more of the world's population with its AI search tool. Hasta pronto.

Google's AI Mode in Search now works in Spanish worldwide

If you've been waiting for Google's AI-powered search to stop being so English-centric, your wait is over. Google just made AI Mode in Search a lot more accessible. Google has officially rolled out AI Mode in Spanish globally, which means Spanish speakers around the world can now use Google Search in a more conversational, interactive way, assuming AI Mode is live in their country. This means users can ask questions in natural Spanish phrasing, upload images, follow up on topics, explore complex ideas, and get answers in back-and-forth exchanges rather than just static search results. This Spanish rollout builds on an earlier expansion earlier in August, when Google made AI Mode available in English in over 180 additional countries (beyond the U.S., U.K., and India). Alongside that, Google introduced agentic capabilities to some users via its AI Ultra subscription tier, including restaurant reservations, with more types of appointments and event ticket purchases promised down the road. Before Spanish joined the list, Google had already expanded AI Mode beyond English for the first time by adding support for five non-English languages: Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, and Brazilian Portuguese. Not everyone gets it at the same time The rollout in Spanish starts immediately, but it's not instantaneous for everyone. Some users may have to wait a few days or longer, depending on their region, before AI Mode shows up. Also, not all premium features are active in every country or language yet, so things like restaurant bookings via AI Mode currently work only for those with the right subscription in eligible places. One thing Google is careful to clarify: AI Mode is different from AI Overviews. Overviews are quick summaries that appear at the top of search results, while AI Mode is a deeper, conversational experience using Gemini where you can upload media, refine your queries over time, follow up, and more. Overall, the inclusion of additional major languages makes it clear Google is pushing to make AI Mode feel native, not just translated, across many cultures and areas. If you speak Spanish (or any of the new supported languages), expect your search to feel more powerful and flexible in the coming days.
