Google's AI Mode Is Getting New Agentic Features for Restaurant Reservations and More

Google'sAI Modeis getting newAgentic capabilitiesand expanding to180 new countries and territoriesaround the world,Google announced on Thursday. AI Mode allows you to ask questions directly to Google and it will initiate a series of searches on your behalf. From there, it will present relevant information to your query without you needing to do any of the in-depth research yourself. It changes the way you search for things online, and it's getting even smarter with this latest release.

Powered by DeepMind'sProject Mariner, the latest additions bring us further into the agenticAIfuture we've been promised for some time, directly from a search box. Instead of just finding things for you, AI Mode can now do things for you, like finding dinner reservations, flights orconcert tickets. The update also brings personalized recommendations and link-sharing capabilities for easier collaboration with friends and family.

Most of the new features are either limited to premium AI subscribers and hidden behind an experiment in Google Labs, but it might not take long before they become a standard part of your future search experience.

Google did not immediately respond to The Shiro Copr's request for further comment.

Restaurant recommendations

Instead of searching for restaurant reservations and then clicking on a specific website to make a reservation, AI Mode brings everything you need to complete the action right there. Since it's contextually aware, you can add specificities to your query that a typical Google search wouldn't handle well.

You can add the type of cuisine, number of people, time and location to a single query, and AI Mode will get to work and display real-time restaurant reservation time slots to choose from.

Google says it has partnered with OpenTable, Resy, Tock, Ticketmaster and several other companies to make finding and doing what you want easier, since you won't have to do the legwork yourself.

This feature is currently being rolled out to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the US who have enabled thespecific experiment in Labs.

Personalized recommendations

Another experiment currently available in the US (which also needs to be enabled in Labs) is personalized recommendations. Google says it is starting with dining-related recommendations, which implies more options will be coming in the future.

The experiment will use your past conversations with AI Mode, places you've interacted with on Search and Maps to provide suggestions tailored specifically to you.

Share AI Mode links with others for collaboration

If you're planning a vacation or a party, you can now share your research directly with others using a new link-sharing feature integrated into AI Mode. People who interact with the link will be directed to the last response sent by AI Mode and can continue the conversation on their own to explore the topic further. The original sender of the links can manage and delete them at any time.
