If you’ve ever tried to book concert tickets during a big sale or reserve a table for Friday night and found yourself juggling tabs, Google just made your life a lot easier.
Its latest update to AI Mode, goes way beyond answering questions, it can now track down event tickets and book beauty or wellness appointments for you, just by chatting in Search.
Picture this: You ask, “Find me four VIP tickets for the [X] concert in December. Standing floor tickets ideally.”
Instead of sending you off to wrestle with ticket sites, AI Mode scans multiple platforms and brings you live ticket options, directly in your search window.
With one tap, you’re directed to the booking page; no more refreshing four different sites or missing out when the good deals slip away.
It does more than just finding the best sushi near you
But AI mode isn't stopping at concerts. Let's say Friday's around the corner, and you're in the mood for pizza or sushi in your local town.
You state your group size, time preference, and of course, cravings; and Google's AI combs through reservation sites to find matches that align with your plans in real time. It's like having a super organzied friend who knows the internet inside out, and ready to suggest the best restaurants with no fuss.
Members only club at the moment
Currently, this agentic capability is rolling out in the US to users who've opted into Google's Search Labs, almost like a VIP club for experimental features. While Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers have access to 'high limits'.
Though this Google magic hasn’t landed worldwide just yet, its debut in 180+ countries hints that global access is on the horizon.
“Our priority in Google Search is connecting you with high-quality information you can rely on,” Google explained on its Search Labs page.
“This new mode is rooted in our core quality and safety systems, but it’s still an early experiment and may make mistakes.”
This is the second major update after Google first launched its AI mode in March; when it already starting flexing its agentic muscles with restaurant bookings and the Canvas tool (for managing study plans and projects). Also, it now lets you use Google Lens to query what's on your desktop screen.
