KARACHI: Global search engine giant Google announced on Tuesday that it has launched its ‘AI Mode Pakistan,’ which enables users to receive answers to longer, more complex questions. 

AI-powered searches by chatbots and social media platforms are becoming popular as users seek quick answers to their specific problems through artificial intelligence. These help people perform several tasks and activities such as writing, crafting itineraries for vacation trips, preparing diet plans and others. 

Google’s AI Mode was first introduced in the US earlier this year. According to the search engine giant, it is now expanding globally and is resonating with people who appreciate its speed, quality, and fresh responses.

“Google launches AI Mode Pakistan in English, bringing its most powerful AI search experience, AI-powered Search, to local users, enabling faster, smarter, and more comprehensive answers to complex questions,” Google said in a press release. 

Powered by a custom version of Gemini 2.5, Google said its AI Mode allows people to ask longer, more complex questions that would previously require multiple searches. 

Google said its early testers have shown queries are already two to three times longer than traditional searches, proving it is particularly helpful for exploratory tasks like comparing products, planning a trip, or understanding complex how-tos. 

“It dives deep to answer multiple questions at once, with helpful links for further exploration,” Google added. 
 
It said AI Mode uses a query fan-out technique, breaking users’ questions into subtopics and issuing a multitude of queries on their behalf. This enables it to dive deeper into the web than ever before, helping users find relevant content. 

“What makes this experience unique is that it brings together advanced model capabilities with Google’s best-in-class information systems, and it’s built right into Search,” the search engine said. 

“Users can access not only high-quality web content but also tap into fresh, real-time sources like the Knowledge Graph and shopping data for billions of products.”

It said AI Mode enables people to engage through text, voice, or images, allowing them to take pictures of what they see and pose their queries for responses.
