Google has introduced five new features for its AI mode to give users more context during web searches and make the experience more interactive.
The updates build on existing habits by letting the system draw from repeated queries. One feature provides additional links at the end of results for topics such as historical events, allowing users to explore further.
Hover previews of linked sites appear when users move their cursor over them. This aims to encourage clicks by showing a quick view of the destination content before navigation.
A dedicated list highlights sources that users have relied on across multiple searches. The list organizes these references so people can return to trusted information more easily.
Another addition pulls together viewpoints from public online discussions, social networks, and direct sources. The system presents an overview rather than a single summary generated by Gemini.
For event planning, such as preparing a hike, the AI mode creates a summary and points to relevant sources covering route details, estimated time, and elevation gain. These elements are grouped by category to support practical decisions.
The AI mode is currently available in France, yet many features remain unavailable there. It is not yet clear whether the newly described options will comply with European regulations.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.
Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.
Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.
