AI Mode: A Google Reveal

In this very special episode, our host Ather Gattami welcomes Robby Stein, VP of Product at Google Search, to reveal some truly exciting Google news: the global rollout of AI Mode. This new feature introduces conversational, multimodal search in nearly 50 countries and 36 languages, allowing users to ask complex questions through text, voice, or images - and receive richer, link-backed responses powered by Google's real-time information systems. Robby explains how AI mode builds on tools like Lens and AI Overviews, while carefully balancing innovation with reliability, addressing challenges such as compute costs and hallucinations through Google's long-established quality systems. From planning trips with multiple constraints to troubleshooting appliances with a photo, he describes these breakthrough experiences as "AI magic moments."
