Google Search's AI Mode Can Now Handle Tasks Beyond the Search Bar
Google is expanding AI Mode to complete tasks in linked apps, with support at launch for Instacart, Canva and YouTube.
- On Thursday, Google announced it now allows users to link and interact with third-party apps directly within its conversational search experience, helping the company compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude.
- This update builds on capabilities launched in the Gemini app earlier this year, marking a strategic shift for Search from finding information to actively completing tasks on users' behalf.
- Users can now prompt the tool to generate Canva templates, curate YouTube Music playlists, or populate Instacart shopping carts, streamlining everyday activities like event planning and grocery shopping.
- Built on the Model Context Protocol, these connections send requests to external services, unlike 'Personal Intelligence' features launched earlier that access Gmail and Google Photos for individualized responses.
- Google plans to add support for more applications in the near future, though the company has not yet named specific upcoming partners or explained how new companies can join the integration set.
