Asking AI for answers on Google is about to change! The company is removing the 'AI Mode' button from the search bar..

Google is testing a new change to its Search page. According to media reports, the company is removing the dedicated 'AI Mode' button from the search bar for some users. However, this is currently considered a limited test; it does not mean that Google intends to disable AI Mode for all users, as others may still see the button.

**AI Mode button missing in Incognito mode and Chrome**
Len Raleigh shared details about this change in a post on X, noting that Google has removed the AI ​​Mode shortcut from the search bar in both Incognito mode and the Chrome browser. This has also been highlighted in a report by *Search Engine Roundtable*.

Raleigh clarified that this change was not universal; the AI ​​Mode button remained visible on his other computer and in different sessions. This suggests that Google is testing this change only with a select group of users. Google has not yet provided an official statement regarding this test. The company frequently experiments with minor adjustments to the design and features of its Search interface to better understand user preferences and which features are most frequently utilized.

**Is Google planning to remove AI Mode?**
According to reports, this test may be an attempt by Google to observe how users interact with the AI ​​feature when the dedicated button is absent from the search bar. However, it would be premature to conclude that the company intends to remove AI Mode entirely.

This change has only been observed on a limited scale and has not been independently verified. At present, there is no indication that Google plans to permanently remove the AI ​​Mode shortcut.

**What is Google’s AI Mode?**
Google introduced the AI ​​Mode button to its Search interface in May 2024. It provides direct access to Google’s AI-powered search capabilities, allowing users to ask detailed, conversational questions rather than relying on the keyword-based queries used in standard searches. AI Mode provides answers based on information gathered from various sources.

A key feature is that, after receiving an answer, users can ask follow-up questions. This eliminates the need to perform a new search each time, allowing for a more thorough exploration of a topic within a single conversation. Google made AI Mode available in India in June 2025, also introducing the ability to ask questions using voice and images.

Subsequently, the company added new features, such as integration with third-party apps and services. For now, the removal of the AI ​​Mode button appears to be limited to a test; therefore, users need not worry about the feature being discontinued entirely.
