5 ways AI Mode in Search helps you enjoy the real world

Google’s AI Mode in Search is designed to help you spend more time offline by streamlining your planning of activities and events. It allows you to discover local classes, shop for gear, try new hobbies, and book tickets. By connecting your apps, you can generate custom designs, organize your calendar, and focus on enjoying the real world.

More people are searching for ways to unplug and experience the real world, with queries such as "adult tennis lessons," "trail running," "hiking," and "run club" gaining popularity. Similarly, people are looking for advice on "how to digital detox" and "how to meet people my age near me."

AI Mode assists in finding information needed for IRL fun. For example, if you're interested in a new activity, you can ask, "How can I get started playing tennis? Are there beginner clinics or lessons nearby that I could easily join?" AI Mode will provide personalized responses based on your Google app connections.

If you're planning to spend time outdoors, you can shop for essentials like hiking boots with good ankle support within AI Mode. It can also help you find affordable options in your area and even call nearby stores to check availability.

For tabletop gamers, Canvas in AI Mode can create a guide with easy-to-remember strategies, allowing you to practice against a computer simulation.

For live events, AI Mode can help you find and book tickets for concerts or sports games, considering your budget and preferences. Connecting apps like Canva lets you turn inspirations into editable designs, like creating a modern minimalistic flyer for a dinner party. Once you have inspiring designs, you can download and share them, focusing on planning your tablescape.
