A few more tips before we split:

1. Feeling camera shy? Instead of taking a selfie, you can use your rear-facing camera to snap a picture of something you see, or select an existing image from your gallery. It’s the perfect way to visualize a Halloween costume for your dog (without putting them through the fitting room ordeal).
2. You can now also create entirely new images from scratch directly in AI Mode. Just select the “Create image” tool and add a text prompt.
3. Keep the convo going! If you dream up something like a snazzy new coat or a dresser for your bedroom in the exact style you want, you can use AI Mode to take the next step, like asking for more styling ideas or where to buy similar items.

Image editing in Lens and AI Mode has started rolling out in English in the U.S. and India, with more countries and languages coming soon.

We’re introducing two new AI-powered features in Search and Discover to help you connect with fresh content and links from across the web.

First, we’ve rolled out an upgraded AI-powered feature in Discover that helps you stay up to date on trending topics you care about. It’ll show brief previews that you can expand to see more information, plus links to continue exploring content on the web. Our testing shows this makes it easier to catch up on stories from a wide range of publishers and creators. This feature is now available in the U.S., South Korea and India.

We’re also making it easier to keep up with the latest sports information in Search. Soon, when you look up players or teams on your phone, a “What’s new” button will reveal a feed of trending updates and articles to help you catch up on the latest action. This feature will begin rolling out in the U.S. in the coming weeks.

As excitement builds for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2026 and 2028, we’re announcing a partnership with LA28, Team USA and NBCUniversal to create a more personal and interactive experience for U.S. fans, athletes, and the dedicated team of up to 70,000 volunteers and members of the workforce who plan and deliver the LA28 Games.

This partnership brings together the latest advancements across Google Search, Gemini and Google Cloud to bring you closer to all of the action. We’ll support the analysis of Team USA’s training and bring you new ways to search for information during NBCUniversal’s coverage. And we’ll help LA28 Games organizers as they prepare for the first Olympic and Paralympic Games in the U.S. in 26 years. NBCUniversal will also partner with YouTube to provide fans with even more exciting content.

Here’s how we’ll help Team USA athletes competing in Milano Cortina, and how we’ll support U.S. viewers, enterprises and sports fans alike as they navigate the upcoming LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Google Search and Gemini: Helping you answer complex questions

Building on our collaboration last year with NBCUniversal and Team USA, Google Search will be an official partner for the LA28 Games and our products and features will be a key fixture within NBCUniversal’s coverage. You’ll find tips on how you can use our latest search AI features to easily access the information you’re looking for.

Our most powerful AI search experience, AI Mode, will take center stage. NBCUniversal programming will show how you can use AI Mode to ask whatever’s on your mind and get detailed explanations, then follow up, verify information and dig deeper with helpful links to content across the web. We’ll put tools and features like Gemini directly into the hands of Team USA athletes, allowing them to explore and ask about the things that inspire them.

Google Cloud: Powering the most technologically advanced Olympic and Paralympic Games in history

Google Cloud will serve as the official cloud provider for the LA28 Games, bringing the best in AI technology to enhance the experience for fans, athletes, and businesses. AI will be used to help with everything from analyzing workouts for Team USA athletes as they prepare for Milano Cortina and Los Angeles, to surfacing real-time insights on complex sports data, to measuring viewership in NBCUniversal’s coverage. Google Cloud and Google Workspace will also serve as key LA28 Games tools for planning and logistics, helping to solve the massive, real-world puzzle of managing over 70,000 volunteers and members of the workforce.

YouTube: Bringing fans even more content with NBCUniversal

We’ll partner with NBCUniversal to provide fans with exclusive short form content on YouTube, serving as an extension of the company’s coverage.

So whether you’re navigating LA28 events in person, searching for the latest medal count, or looking to dive deeper into the competitions or athletes, we’ll help you stay in the loop. We’ll share more details over the coming months on how our technology will show up during the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Starting today, we’re bringing AI Mode in Google Search to more people around the world, launching in more than 35 new languages and over 40 new countries and territories. Now, AI Mode will be available in over 200 countries and territories total, including many across Europe.

Our latest Gemini models are powering dramatically more powerful capabilities in Search, allowing people to ask anything on their mind in the way that’s most natural to them, thanks to our natural language understanding and multimodal capabilities. Now, more people can ask anything in their preferred language.

The advanced reasoning and multimodal understanding of our custom Gemini model for Search allows AI Mode to truly grasp the subtleties of local languages, ensuring AI Mode is genuinely helpful and relevant in all the new languages we introduce.

With AI Mode, we’re already seeing people diving deeper into complex topics and asking questions nearly three times longer than traditional searches. The experience will roll out to more people over the next week.

Today, Search Live has officially launched in English in the U.S. — no Labs opt-in required. When you go Live with Search, you can have an interactive voice conversation in AI Mode and share your phone’s camera feed. This means Search can see what your camera sees, respond to your questions in real time and connect you with helpful web links to dive even deeper.

To get started, just open the Google app (Android and iOS) and tap the new Live icon under the search bar. You can start asking your questions out loud and enable video input to share visual context from your camera feed.

Or if you’re already pointing your camera with Google Lens, simply select the new Live option at the bottom of the screen. Camera sharing will be enabled by default, so you can have an instant back-and-forth conversation about whatever you see in front of you.

Ready to try it out? Here are five ways you can use this new capability in Search for fast, real-time help, at home or on the go:

1) Explore while you travel

Imagine you’re on vacation and getting ready at the hotel before a day of exploration. You can go Live with Search to have a hands-free conversation about the neighborhoods you want to visit, all while you finish applying your sunscreen. And once you’re out and about, you can fire up Live and activate your camera to ask about anything you see.

2) Try a new hobby

When you need help picking up a new skill — like crafting the perfect cup of matcha — consider Search Live your very own expert advisor. Point your camera at the equipment in your matcha set and ask what each tool is used for. Or get quick advice on which ingredients you can substitute if you’re looking for low-sugar or dairy-free alternatives for a matcha latte.
