Google’s AI Mode now lets you link and interact with select apps
With this new update, Google is expanding AI Mode beyond answering questions and into completing tasks across the apps they use regularly.
Get smart on it
Google's AI Mode now allows users to connect and use select third-party applications directly within its conversational search experience, with supported apps including Instacart, Canva, and YouTube at launch. This expansion enables AI Mode to help users complete tasks like adding groceries to a shopping cart, creating design templates, and saving playlists, rather than only answering questions. The update is significant because it positions Google to better compete with rival AI services that already support app integrations. The rollout is beginning in the U.S., with Google indicating it plans to add support for more apps in the future.
