Google is testing AI search on its homepage

Google began rolling out an 'AI Mode' button on its homepage in early May 2025 to provide detailed AI-generated search responses.
The rollout follows internal testing and prior features like AI Overviews, aiming to replace the longtime 'I'm Feeling Lucky' button at a prominent homepage spot.
'AI Mode' shows conversational answers on a dedicated results page and integrates with Google's Labs experiments for select users opting in to new features.
The feature rollout coincides with Google updating its main logo and facing competitive pressure from AI rivals like OpenAI's ChatGPT, which has 160 million daily users versus Google's Gemini AI at 35 million.
This AI Mode introduction may shift user interaction with Google Search and reflects Google's efforts to maintain dominance amid increasing AI-driven search competition.
