Google Makes Gemini 3 the Default Model

On January 27, Google made Gemini 3 the default model in AI Overviews (AI answers in Search) for all users and also added an AI Mode for follow-up questions and interactive conversations with AI.

These updates allow users to get high-quality AI responses directly on the search results page and immediately engage in an interactive dialogue with AI for clarifications.

A New Search Experience with AI Overviews

Convenience for Any Query

People use Search for a wide range of questions — from quickly checking a sports score or the weather to exploring complex topics in depth. Now, any question can be asked directly, and users get precise answers.

Integration of AI Mode

With the new AI Mode, users can easily ask follow-up questions directly from AI Overview and have a conversation with AI while keeping the context of previous answers. This makes Search smoother and more intuitive.

Benefits of the Updated Search

Quick Access to Information

AI Overview provides instant answers to simple queries, allowing users to get key information quickly without needing to visit other pages.

Deeper AI Conversations

For more complex questions, users can continue the dialogue using AI Mode, offering a more complete and personalized search experience.

How to Use the New Features

Seamless Workflow

The search experience is now unified: first, a quick AI Overview, followed by the option to engage in a deeper AI conversation. This makes interacting with Search more natural and convenient.

Getting Started

To use the new features, simply open the Google search bar and ask any question. You can get an instant answer through AI Overview or immediately continue the conversation in AI Mode.
