Circle to Search Adding AI Mode and Gaming Help on Android

GLOBAL, JUL 8 – Google is replacing Google Assistant with Gemini AI on Wear OS watches and expanding AI Mode in Circle to Search, available to over 300 million Android users, improving multi-app tasks.

  • Google announced today that Circle to Search is rolling out in the US and India, including new support for gaming-related queries on Android devices.
  • This rollout follows Google's earlier introduction of AI Mode in search and updates Gemini integration to Wear OS watches, starting with Pixel, Samsung, OnePlus, OPPO, and Xiaomi devices.
  • Users can invoke Circle to Search by circling, tapping, or scribbling on content to access visual AI Overviews and a carousel of YouTube walkthroughs for mobile games.
  • A user could ask Gemini to perform multi-step tasks like summarizing an email or adding calendar events, and 'dive deeper with AI Mode' allows follow-up questions without switching apps.
  • This update suggests enhanced multimodal AI assistance is accessible on over 300 million Android devices, with a phased rollout over the coming weeks to Wear OS 4+ smartwatches.
