Earlier this year, Google released its AI Mode in Search and has been rapidly expanding with various features since. Now, the company has recently announced that it will be expanding this AI chatbot to 40 new regions and supporting 35 different languages—including Malay.
As a refresher, the company rolled out its AI Mode in Search to Malaysia in August of this year. Besides Malay, the chatbot will now reply to users in Arabic, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, German, Greek, French, Russian, Thai, Vietnamese, and more. You can view all the supported languages and countries here.
In the official blog post, Google reasoned that, thanks to the Gemini model’s advanced reasoning and multimodal understanding, AI Mode is capable of grasping the subtleties of local languages. This, in turn, allows the user to express the questions “in the way that’s most natural to them”.
The internet search giant noted that people using the AI Mode do discuss far more complicated topics and are asking questions that are “nearly times longer than traditional searches”. Google ultimately stated that the feature will be available to more people over the course of the following week.
