Google has rolled out its much-awaited AI Mode search feature in Nepal. Since Monday night, Nepali users can now use this new option directly from the Google search bar.
With AI Mode, search results look different from the traditional list of blue links. Instead, users get a chatbot-style interface where Google provides detailed answers to queries. This feature was first introduced in May, but it was limited to the US, UK, and India. Last week, Google expanded it to 180 countries, including Nepal.
When AI Mode is turned on, the search bar shows a new “AI Mode” button. Tapping on it opens a chat-like interface. The answer to your query appears on the left, while the sources are displayed on the right. Users can also ask follow-up questions in the “Ask Anything” box, where Google AI replies instantly. If users prefer the old style, they can still switch to traditional tabs like All, News, or Images. For now, the feature works only in English.
How to activate AI Mode:
- Go to Google Search and type “AI Mode”.
- Click the “Turn On” button that appears.
- If available on your device, you will see the AI Mode option in the search bar from then on.
Google also announced that it is preparing to add an “Agentic” feature to make AI Mode smarter. In the beginning, it will help with tasks like finding restaurants. However, this upgrade will only be available to Google AI Ultra subscribers.
