Google's AI Image Search: Now You Can Search With Your Vibe
Google is making its AI Mode image search way more human. Instead of just relying on rigid filters, you can now describe what you're looking for as if you're chatting with a friend. Think of it as having a personal shopper who actually gets your vibe!
So, how does it work? Well, according to Google, you can now ask questions in a conversational way and get a bunch of visual results. And the best part? You can keep refining your search naturally. Want "barrel jeans that aren’t too baggy"? No problem. Need them ankle-length and in acid-washed denim? Just ask! The AI will "intelligently provide a relevant set of shoppable options."
Let's say you're looking for some interior design inspiration. Instead of endless scrolling and keyword stuffing, you can simply describe the kind of room you're envisioning, or even upload a reference image. It's pretty cool, right? It's like Pinterest, but with the power of AI to understand what you *really* want.
It's building upon existing tech like Google Search with Lens and Image search, plus using the power of Gemini 2.5. This means AI Mode can pick up on tiny details and understand the context of images to give you way better search results.
This new conversational search is rolling out in English to US users this week. So, keep an eye out for the update; it might take a few days to show up on your end. I think it's a genuinely useful update that will save a lot of time and frustration for users.
