Investing.com -- Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is rolling out new features for its AI Mode in Search, aimed at helping students, parents, and educators as the back-to-school season approaches.
Users can now ask questions about images on desktop browsers, with PDF upload support coming in the next few weeks. This will allow people to upload documents like lecture slides and ask follow-up questions to enhance their understanding. Google plans to expand support to additional file types and Google Drive integration in the coming months.
A new Canvas feature is being introduced to help users create plans and organize information across multiple sessions. The tool appears in a side panel that updates as users refine their requests. For example, students can create study plans for upcoming tests and return to their projects later. Canvas will soon allow customization with uploaded files like class notes or syllabi.
Google is also launching Search Live with video input, bringing capabilities from Project Astra directly into AI Mode. This feature integrates with Google Lens, allowing users to point their camera at objects and have real-time conversations with AI Mode while accessing helpful web links.
Additionally, Google is enhancing Lens in Chrome with a new "Ask Google about this page" option in the address bar dropdown. This feature lets users ask questions about content they’re viewing in their browser, such as diagrams in geometry problems.
The AI Mode button is now available on Google’s homepage for desktop users. Search Live with video is rolling out this week on mobile in the U.S. for users enrolled in the AI Mode Labs experiment, while Canvas will be available in the coming weeks for the same user group.
