Chrome's AI Mode Gets Smarter for Research
16 Apr
Summary
- New AI Mode in Chrome integrates search with web pages.
- Users can search across multiple tabs, images, and files.
- AI Mode now provides easier access to tools like Canvas.
Google has significantly upgraded Chrome's AI Mode, introducing a new search experience designed to streamline research and tab management. This update allows users to open any clicked web page directly alongside AI Mode, facilitating deeper exploration of related topics and enabling the asking of follow-up questions. For instance, one could research Formula 1 pit crew training and quickly access details about McLaren's record-breaking pit stop.
The new features also enable searching across multiple Chrome tabs. Users can select tabs and add them to their search queries, with AI Mode then offering responses and suggesting further sites. This functionality extends to searching across images and files like PDFs, integrating them into AI Mode searches for comprehensive answers. This is particularly useful for students compiling information for study, as it allows them to combine open tabs with lecture notes and other materials.
Additionally, accessing popular tools such as Canvas, a learning management system, and image creation features is now more integrated within AI Mode via a new plus menu. These advancements are rolling out in the US on Chrome desktop and mobile, with global expansion planned.
