Mapped capabilities
4 capabilities
AI Mode response with follow-ups and source links
Answer is returned, follow-up questions continue the same thread, and web links remain available alongside the AI response.
Lens visual search across camera, image and screen inputs
Each documented input mode (camera, uploaded image, on-screen content) is offered and produces a search result path.
Circle to Search invocation on Android
Circle, highlight and tap gestures are presented as documented entry gestures on a supported Android device.
Classic search and Images navigation
google.com and Google Images expose search plus documented links: Advanced search, Advertising, Business Solutions, About Google.
Illustrative example
- Input
- In AI Mode, ask "what should I look for in a used electric car battery?" then follow up with "what about in cold climates?"
- Expected behavior
- The follow-up is answered in the same thread with the earlier used-EV-battery context carried over, and the response still surfaces web links alongside the AI answer rather than replacing them.
