Google launches Search Live with voice input in the Google app for Android and iOS. It enables users to make real-time conversations with Google's AI mode, launched recently to counter the growing AI impact on browsers. It allows the users to get the desired information in a voice format, like a real-time conversation. The search involved in the process is powered by an AI model that works on the query in the background while translating the same to the user in a voice format. 

This feels like a regular conversation with an agent resembling an assistant who knows nearly everything on the internet. Users can access this by clicking on the live icon in the Google app. Simply put, this enables the users to have a free-flowing, back-and-forth voice conversation with search and explore links from across the web.

Search Live: What can it do? 

As with any search mechanism, the users can ask the model for any kind of help they expect a browser to provide. It can range from tips to prevent a dress from getting wrinkles to getting the best dine-in suggestions, all in a voice format on the go, while users enjoy their trip.

Beyond this, the users can even get answers for their follow-up questions, making it feel and sound like a proper conversation and not some characteristically mechanical and AI-generated response. 

Search Live: Taking it Beyond Search

The Search Live feature explains complex concepts in simple terms while offering helpful suggestions and links to resources, including websites, videos, forums, and more. This is because the AI Mode in Search introduces new reasoning and tools that come with a custom version of Gemini models. For any question, it makes a plan, breaks it down into related subtopics, and runs multiple Google searches to find the most helpful and reliable info.

This approach helps you get a greater breadth and depth of information than a traditional search on Google.
