5 ways AI Mode in Search helps you enjoy the real world

Here’s how Search's AI tools can help you make the most of your time offline, whether you want to book concert tickets or find the perfect hiking boots. Google’s AI Mode helps you spend more time offline by simplifying how you plan activities and events.

You can use it to find local classes that fit your schedule, shop for specific gear, practice new hobbies, and book tickets. Try connecting your apps to generate custom designs or organize your calendar so you can focus on enjoying the real world. People are searching for more and more ways to get offline, experience the real world, and “touch grass.” This year, people are searching for “adult tennis lessons,” “trail running,” “hiking,” and “run club” more than ever before. People are also searching for questions like “how to digital detox” (+110% since the beginning of the year) and “how to meet people my age near me.” To make the most of your IRL fun, AI Mode in Google Search has the tools to help you find the information you need. Here’s how: 1. Find local classes that fit into your schedule. Ready to try your hand at something new but don’t know where to begin? Use AI Mode to kick things off by asking something like, “How can I get started playing tennis? Are there beginner clinics or lessons nearby that I could easily join?” Personal Intelligence allows you to to securely connect the dots across your Google apps so that AI Mode’s responses are even more personalized to you. For example, say you’re looking to get better at cooking and want to find classes that’d easily fit into your schedule next month. If you’ve chosen to connect Google Calendar, you’ll get suggestions that fit your existing schedule. Getting outdoors is a great way to disconnect, but for activities like hiking and trail running, you want to make sure you’re fully prepared before you head out. You can easily shop within AI Mode to make sure you have the items to exactly fit your needs. Try asking, “Can you help me find some affordable hiking boots with good ankle support?” AI Mode will help you choose between products that match what you’re looking for. You can also see what’s in stock in the area by including “nearby” or “near me” in your search, and even ask Google to call nearby stores to get product availability for you.
