Summary:
Google has just expanded its AI Search Mode in India by adding support for seven new Indian languages and launching Search Live — a feature that lets users use voice commands and even camera input for real-time search assistance.
Google AI Mode Adds 7 Indian Languages
Google has upgraded its AI-powered Search experience in India. First, AI Mode which already supported English and Hindi is now rolling out for seven more Indian languages: Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu.
Alongside this, Google introduced a new feature called Search Live, which lets you use voice and your phone’s camera to interact with Search in more natural ways.
How Search Live Works
With Search Live, you can simply speak or point your camera at something — say, a set of ingredients, a plant, or an appliance — and ask Google what’s in front of you or seek advice.

For example, you might show your ingredients and say, “How do I combine these to make an iced matcha?” Google will analyze what you’re seeing and hearing in real time and respond with helpful steps. It’s a more conversational and hands-on way of searching than typing queries.
Why Languages & Local Nuance Matter
By adding regional languages like Bengali, Tamil, and Urdu, Google aims to make Search accessible to many more people across India.

The model behind this Google’s custom Gemini model for search does more than translate. It tries to understand local expressions, context, idioms, and phrasing so that answers feel natural and relevant rather than generic machine translations.
What Users Should Know
- Search Live is initially available in English and Hindi, but AI Mode in the new languages will begin rolling out in phases.
- You can access Search Live by tapping the “Live” icon in the Google app or via Google Lens.
- All this is meant to assist in everyday tasks: schoolwork, identifying objects, DIY, travel, recipes — wherever you want instant, hands-free help.
What This Means for India
This move could be a big deal for inclusivity. India has many regional languages, and language has often been a barrier in tech access. By enabling voice and visual search in more Indian tongues, Google is bridging gaps. Also, for users who’re not super comfortable typing in English or even Hindi, this upgrade means they can search more naturally.
It may also push other tech players to follow suit, tailoring their features to local needs and making tech more human.
