1/2 Gemini 3 Flash is here ⚡⚡⚡ Starting today, we’re rolling it out globally in Search as the default model in AI Mode (google.com/ai). 3 Flash brings the sophisticated reasoning capabilities of Gemini 3 to Search, without compromising speed. This means AI Mode better interprets your toughest, multi-layered questions – considering each of your constraints or requirements – and provides a visually digestible response with helpful links to explore further.

@yaelmarzan was an amazing collab to make this all possible!

@rmstein So excited for more people to try Personal Intelligence in AI Mode! Loved partnering on this @rmstein

Today, we’re opening up access to Personal Intelligence for AI Mode in Search in the U.S. 🚀 This feature has totally changed how I use AI in Search. Here’s how it works: 1️⃣ Opt in to connect apps like Gmail and Google Photos. Search connects your info to give you responses that uniquely match your specific context and interests. 2️⃣ Start asking for things like ideas and recommendations, where this is particularly helpful. For example: I wanted new podcast ideas and Personal Intelligence in AI Mode gave me spot-on recs for AI and product building shows that are similar to some of my favorites (hey @lennysan!). It even found some unexpected options around dad life working in tech. 🎧

@alexeheath agreed, been loving the new pod

@rmstein it should also recommend access.show

Excited for more of you to give this a try! Learn more: blog.google/products-and-p…

This was designed with your privacy and transparency in mind. Connecting to Gmail and Google Photos is secure and it’s off by default. If you’re interested in opting in, here is a direct link to update your settings: myactivity.google.com/search-service…

@lennysan i'm surprised to see they're missing one other Google product... 👀

Surprises: - Perplexity higher than you'd think - removebg the 16th most popular AI tool - Google AI studio beating Lovable, and together they're ahead of all other vibe-coding platforms - JanitorAI is not what you expect - Three in the top 20 are AI chatbot friends - Google has four products in top 50

@heykahn Great conversation as always - thanks for having me on!

''Every time you're thinking, what if this thing doesn't go well? You do like a probabilistic swap and you say, what if it does go well?'' @rmstein VP, Product at Google Search, breaks down how AI is fundamentally changing the way we search and process information. Here is what we discussed: •The evolution of AI Mode and conversational search •How personalized intelligence is turning search into a proactive thought partner •The rise of agentic capabilities like booking reservations •Mental frameworks for staying productive in a fast-moving industry Watch the full conversation below!

What’s really cool about Canvas in AI Mode is that it turns Search into a collaborative partner. Now you can take a spark of an idea and build a custom tool or creative writing project with only a few prompts, right in AI Mode. Canvas is now available to everyone in the US, and look forward to seeing what you create!

We've heard feedback on recipe results in AI Mode, and we’re making updates to better connect people with recipe creators on the web. Starting today, when you search for meal ideas like “easy dinners for two,” you can tap on the dish to see links to relevant recipe sites, plus a short overview of the dish to help with inspiration. We're also planning to bring helpful information like cook time to more recipe results, which testers have found useful for deciding on a recipe. We know there's more work to be done on this, so stay tuned for future updates.

Who doesn’t love a sequel? 🍌🍌 Nano Banana 2 is rolling out today – give it a try in Lens and AI Mode in Search!

(3/3) Rolling out now for Pixel 10 and Samsung Galaxy S26 users. Read more: blog.google/products-and-p…

(2/3) Take fashion: Circle an entire outfit and tap “find the look.” Our enhanced visual query fan-out technique breaks down every part of the image at once. You’ll get one helpful response with the accessories, shoes and clothing items – and you can even jump straight to trying on your favorite item virtually.

(1/3) Starting today, Circle to Search can identify everything in frame at once. Whether you’re identifying every piece of furniture to recreate a room's aesthetic or (literally) naming all the fish in the sea, Search now understands the world just as you see it.

New on Search: In AI Overviews and AI Mode, groups of links will automatically appear in a pop-up as you hover over them on desktop, so you can jump right into a website to learn more. And we’ll show more descriptive and prominent link icons within the response across both desktop and mobile. Our testing shows this new UI is more engaging, making it easier to get to great content across the web.

I’m finding myself relying on AI Mode with Personal Intelligence for where to go and what to do. For a trip it can now nail what I’m looking for -- e.g. finding coffee shops. So much potential.

will be awesome to easily buy things while in AI Mode
