Google\u2019s already come a long way with its approach to AI across Search, and that\u2019s only been getting more useful with easy access to AI Mode in the Chrome browser. This week, Google\u2019s sharing two simple yet powerful upgrades arriving for AI Mode in Chrome, with a new split-screen view and the ability to search across your tabs.<\/p>\n

Getting started with AI Mode has been as easy as hitting its button in your Search bar on a new tab \u2014 and that\u2019s not changing. But so far, that\u2019s given you your AI Mode responses in one Chrome tab, and if you wanted to explore one of the source links contributing to those results, Chrome would open that in a new tab. If you weren\u2019t yet done with AI Mode\u2019s report, you could end up tabbing back and forth a lot \u2014 not ideal.<\/p>\n

Instead of that, Google\u2019s now hooking Chrome up with a split-screen interface for AI Mode, letting you explore every reference that comes up while not abandoning those original results. You can even keep interacting with AI Mode using the additional context you uncover, digging deeper and deeper into a topic.<\/p>\n

The other big upgrade concerns AI Mode\u2019s awareness of what you\u2019ve been up to in your other Chrome tabs. Just like you can already attach files or images by hitting the \u201cplus\u201d button in the bar, you\u2019ll now also be able to select recent Chrome tabs. That can give you a head start on bringing AI Mode up to speed with a topic you were already investigating, or allow you to dive deeper than you were able to on your own.<\/p>\n

Functionally, those are our big ones today, but Google\u2019s also continuing to refine the UI you\u2019ll encounter when working with AI Mode. Here, that means bringing our \u201cplus\u201d button to the main Search bar, speeding up access to not just AI Mode in general, but also letting you jump straight into creative tools like Canvas or Nano Banana image generation.<\/p>\n

These new Chrome AI Mode abilities are rolling out today across all platforms for users in the US.<\/p>\n
