Google is extending how AI Mode appears across its products. The latest example is inside Google Discover and the Google App. According to Search Engine Land, users who open a story in Discover can now tap the three dots at the top right of the article and choose from three AI Mode options. These options are “summarize with AI Mode,” ask a follow-up with AI Mode, and dive deeper with AI Mode.

The same behavior applies inside the Google App on Android for any webpage a user opens. Google is placing AI Mode in front of more people, regardless of whether they came from a feed or a normal web browser. The placement is important because Discover often drives traffic to news publishers, and adding AI Mode on top may influence how users interact with the page once they land on it.

AI Mode now appears through Google’s new upload feature

Another change reported by Search Engine Land involves the search bar on Google’s home page. Google has added a file and image upload option that sends users directly into AI Mode. This is different from the usual upload flow that takes users to Google Search with Lens-style visual results. The new upload option skips those results and opens AI Mode instead.

Google continues shifting users from traditional search to AI Mode

These changes are evidence that Google is shifting more user journeys into AI Mode. Search Engine Land reports that this is another example of Google moving people away from standard search results. More recently, the company began testing a setup that lets users jump between AI Overviews and AI Mode without leaving the main results page. The test is running globally on mobile.
