Google has introduced a major upgrade to its Search feature by adding its advanced AI model, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and a new tool called Deep Search in something called AI Mode. This update, which first launched in the US, is now available in India too.
These new features are available for users who subscribe to Google AI Pro or AI Ultra plans.
What is Gemini 2.5 Pro?
Gemini 2.5 Pro is Google’s most advanced AI model designed to handle difficult or complex questions. If you’re a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscriber, you can choose this model from a dropdown in the AI Mode section of Search.
While the default AI Mode is good for everyday questions, Gemini 2.5 Pro is meant for deeper research and advanced tasks.

What is Deep Search?
Google has also added Deep Search, which helps you do in-depth research. Instead of doing multiple searches yourself, Deep Search uses AI to:
- Run hundreds of searches
- Combine different pieces of information
- Create a detailed report with sources in just minutes
This is useful for things like work projects, study topics, or making big decisions—like buying a home or doing financial planning.
These features will roll out this week for AI Pro and Ultra users in the US who are part of Google’s AI Mode experiment in Google Labs.

AI Can Now Call Businesses for You
Another exciting update: Google Search now has an AI calling feature. This lets the AI call local businesses on your behalf to check things like prices and availability—so you don’t have to call yourself.
For example, you can search “pet groomers near me” and click “Have AI check pricing.” Google will then contact those places and show you the results, including appointment times and costs.
This feature is now available to all users in the US, but AI Pro and Ultra subscribers will get more usage limits.
These updates show how Google is using AI to make your searches smarter and your life easier.
