Over the past several days Google has been a whirlwind of major headlines business activity and technical intrigue. At center stage comes a substantial expansion of their AI efforts as Google on September 9 announced its AI Mode experience now supports five new languages including Hindi Japanese Korean Indonesian and Brazilian Portuguese according to TechCrunch. AI Mode which first launched for select English users in March and expanded in August is now using Gemini 2.5 to handle complex search queries and even agent-like tasks such as booking restaurants.
