Advanced Search Experience Powered by Gemini 2.5
"Helpful for Studying... Ongoing Learning of Dialects and New Slang"

"Can you recommend some places in Euljiro to hang out with friends this weekend? I'd love restaurants or spots with live music, but also hidden gems where we can talk quietly together."

After entering this question into the Google search bar and clicking on the 'AI Mode' tab, a neatly organized list of options appeared on the screen, ranging from bustling restaurants to cozy, tranquil cafes. The service understood the two different atmospheres the user wanted-lively venues and quiet hideaways-and recommended places that matched each mood.

Google's AI Mode, which has been available in English in over 180 countries worldwide, can now be used in Korean.

On September 9, Google announced that it will support local languages in five countries for its next-generation AI search feature, AI Mode, which was introduced in May. The supported languages are Korean (South Korea), Japanese (Japan), Hindi (India), Indonesian (Indonesia), and Portuguese (Brazil).

According to Google, AI Mode is based on the company's Gemini 2.5 version and is designed to understand and respond to questions much more precisely than traditional search. It allows users to resolve complex and lengthy queries, product comparisons, usage instructions, and travel planning-all in a single search, rather than through multiple searches. Users can access it for free simply by clicking the tab, without needing to sign up for a separate Google Labs account or pre-register.

Hema Budaraju, Vice President of Search Products at Google, explained, "By applying 'query fan-out' technology, which breaks down a question into subtopics and runs multiple search queries simultaneously, we can deliver deeper and broader results. Follow-up questions flow naturally without the need for additional explanations, and we provide useful links so users can explore the information they need within the search results."

She added, "This update is significant because it offers a multimodal search experience that goes beyond text input to include voice and images." By integrating with Google Lens, users can take a photo or upload an image to ask complex questions, making information discovery even more intuitive.

In Korea, the area where AI Mode is expected to be most useful is for students' study and learning. She said, "It will be highly useful for learning new things, getting instructions, and analyzing pros and cons," adding, "We are excited to see what new possibilities AI Mode will bring with Korean language support."

She also emphasized, "It took time to launch in Korean because we wanted to provide a high-quality service that users can fully trust and feel confident using. We will continue to enhance features for responding appropriately to dialects and new slang through ongoing learning. We are committed to the journey of qualitative improvement and enhancement."

Additionally, she stated, "Our goal is to make it easy for users to search for anything in any way they want, without having to put in too much effort," adding, "Ultimately, our strength lies in adapting to the ways users want to search."
