Alphabet used Tuesday’s Google Doodle to promote “AI Mode,” a chatbot-style search feature powered by Gemini, according to CNBC. Clicking the animated doodle directs users to AI Mode, which generates AI-powered responses to complex queries using text, voice, or images. AI Mode is Google’s chatbot-style search feature, launched in March, that provides AI-powered responses to complex queries using text, voice, or images. Powered by the Gemini model, it aims to simplify multi-step searches and has expanded to more U.S. users since its debut. The push comes as Google faces growing pressure from AI competitors like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Perplexity AI.
