Google Search Live is a new AI Mode experiment that turns search into a real-time voice conversation. Get instant, AI-generated audio answers to your questions, with on-screen links to dive deeper.
It's clear Google is accelerating the release of the new AI features it previewed at I/O 2025. The latest is Search Live, which is now available as an experiment in Search Labs.
It's a new way to interact with Search that turns your query into an ongoing voice conversation, and it works within the Google App on iOS and Android for now. You can ask a question, get an AI-generated audio answer, and ask follow-ups, even while the app runs in the background.
The experience also includes on-screen links to web pages so you can dive deeper. This is a very interesting approach to making search more conversational and hands-free, especially when you're on the go.
This appears to be a natural evolution of search, transforming it into a conversational, hands-free experience that works seamlessly across various apps and tasks.
How will Google balance conversational AI experiences with the need to still drive clicks to websites, especially for creators relying on referral traffic?

@zaczuo Seems like ChatGPT voice mode. What I specifically like is the on-screen links that can be explored further. Cool update! :)
@rohanrecommends I talk to PPLX everyday and now one more!
Well, I will probably forget how to write, because from now on I will be just asking with my voice. 😀
@busmark_w_nika Voice could be the ultimate entrance for daily natural context. :P

Huge congrats to your team for building this tool! 📚
I've been using it to boost my productivity—it's super helpful for both work and life! My teammates love it too. Big fan! ✨
Sounds cool and I would like to test it on iOS. But AI Mode experiment in Labs isn't available in The Netherlands. @Google When can I test this?
