Google Search Live will let you ask questions about what your camera sees
One of the new AI features that Google has announced for Search at I/O 2025 will let you discuss what it's seeing through your camera in real time. Google says more than 1.5 billion people use visual search on Google Lens, and it's now taking the next step in multimodality by bringing Project Astra's live capabilities into Search. With the new feature called Search Live, you can have a back-and-forth conversation with Search about what's in front of you. For instance, you can simply point your camera at a difficult math problem and ask it to help you solve it or to explain a concept you're having difficulty grasping.
Search will also give you links to more resources you can explore. To be able to access Search Live, you'll have to tap the Live icon in Google Lens or in AI Mode, which the company has just rolled out in the US after making it available to Labs users earlier this month. AI Mode is a new chatbot Google built directly into Search that can break down your query into subtopics so it can serve you more thorough results with "hyper-relevant content." The new AI Mode tab will show up in Search and in the Google app in the coming weeks.
AI Mode will be able to help you analyze and visualize numbers and data, as well, by generating interactive graphics for you. If you want to compare two different sports teams, for instance, Google will be able to generate a graph showing their performance using its own real-time sports information. The company will also be able to create real-time graphs for finance queries.
Soon, AI Mode will be able to give you personalized responses based on your past activities. If you ask it where you can eat while visiting a specific city, for example, it can name restaurants with outdoor seating if you've booked an outdoor table in the past. It can also give you suggestions based on your hotel and flight bookings. In addition, AI Mode will come with a Shopping experience that will let you try on clothes virtually by uploading a photo of yourself. When you're done, Google's new checkout feature will be able to buy the clothes you want in your stead from their respective websites with Google Pay.
