As I dive into articles on Google Discover, I’ve noticed Google encouraging the use of AI Mode. This isn’t just specific to articles on Discover; it applies to any webpage I’m viewing through the Google Android app.
I’ve observed that Google is integrating AI Mode features into Google Discover. These features allow me to summarize, ask follow-up questions, and explore more deeply into topics once I’ve started reading a story. It’s intriguing to see how Google is keen on directing users into this AI-driven environment.
Specifically, I’ve learned that this isn’t limited just to Google Discover. It’s also available on the Google App for Android, offering AI Mode options for any page I visit.
How it works. Once I click into an article from the Discover feed, there’s a menu with options after tapping the three dots at the top right corner. These include:
- Summarize with AI Mode
- Ask a follow-up with AI Mode
- Dive deeper with AI Mode
Damien (adell) shared a video on X showcasing these features in action. Here’s a screenshot from the video, along with the embedded video itself:
Why we care. It’s clear that Google is determined to steer users towards Google Discover. It does so by leading them from various entry points like Google Search, AI Overviews, and more. After I’ve been directed to a site, Google then enables me to utilize AI Mode to access a sophisticated, AI-enhanced version of the article.
