How to use the new Google AI-powered feature

Google's AI-powered search was unveiled in May of this year during Google's annual mega-event, Google I/O.

Google blog post reads: "This week, we launched Search Labs in the first countries outside the U.S. — India and Japan — enabling people to opt into SGE to help them better understand topics faster, uncover new viewpoints and insights and get things done more easily."

The blog post added that there is also a unique feature for India. Users will be able to 'find a language toggle to help multilingual speakers easily switch back and forth between English and Hindi. And Indian users can also listen to the responses, which is a popular preference'. As for ads, they will continue to appear in dedicated spaces throughout the search page. In addition, Google is also focusing on making the search more "visual" in its approach and includes multiple images in the results.

How to use the function?
