Introducing AI Mode for visual search and shopping | Robby Stein posted on the topic | LinkedIn linkedin.com

Excited to introduce a powerful new way to get visual inspiration and shop in AI Mode.

With this update, we’re making it easier than ever to go from an idea or a few words to real-world images and products that match the style you’re looking for.

This new experience is powered by Gemini 2.5’s multimodal capabilities and our visual understanding in Search. Using a new technique we’re calling “visual search fan-out,” AI Mode can now analyze more objects in an image and better understand the context of your question.

How to use it:

► Show or tell AI Mode what you’re looking for with a picture, text, or both
► You’ll see rich visuals that match the vibe you’re looking for – in this case, maximalist inspiration for your bedroom
► From there, you can conversationally browse, refine or build on your search and explore shoppable options with links to buy

This new visual experience is rolling out in English in the U.S. this week. Try it out and let us know what you think!
