Google has officially rolled out its AI-powered Search Mode in Pakistan, giving millions of local users access to one of the world’s most advanced search experiences. The launch brings the power of artificial intelligence to everyday browsing, making searches faster, smarter, and more personalized than ever before.
The feature, powered by Google’s Gemini 2.5 model, was first launched in the United States earlier this year and is now reaching global markets. Unlike traditional search, AI Search Mode allows users to ask long and detailed queries that once required multiple searches. Google reports that queries in AI Mode are often two to three times longer than standard ones, making it especially useful for research, education, trip planning, and product comparisons.
For Pakistani users, the benefits are wide-ranging.
- A student can ask for free Grade 9 math resources available in Pakistan.
- A traveler can plan a five-day trip to Hunza, complete with food, sightseeing, and adventure suggestions.
- A shopkeeper can upload a photo of a spice or product and instantly learn its uses in local cuisine.
The technology works through a method known as query fan-out, breaking down complex questions into subtopics and running multiple searches simultaneously. Results combine web content, shopping data, knowledge graphs, and real-time sources to provide a comprehensive answer.
AI Mode is also multi-modal, allowing searches through text, voice, and images, with smooth follow-up interactions that feel like a digital conversation.
Google acknowledges that results may not always be 100% accurate but stresses that the feature blends AI-generated responses with traditional links, giving users the best of both worlds. The company also confirmed that while the mode is currently available in English, Urdu support will be added in future updates to make the experience more inclusive for local users.
With this rollout, Pakistan joins the growing list of countries where AI-powered search is reshaping how people access knowledge, plan experiences, and make smarter decisions online.
