TL;DR<\/p>\n

Google is testing an AI Mode button for the Chrome toolbar.
\nWhen the button is clicked, it will open a side panel alongside the current page.
\nThe feature is currently being tested on desktop and mobile.<\/p>\n

If you want to use Search\u2019s AI Mode<\/a>, Google has made it so there are plenty of ways to do so. Clicking on the AI Mode tab while in Search is the direct way. However, there are also shortcuts in the omnibox and in the search bar when you open a new tab page. As if the feature wasn\u2019t prominent enough, Google is working on one more way to access the tool.<\/p>\n

Spotted by the folks over at Windows Report<\/a>, Google appears to be testing an optional AI Mode button for the Chrome toolbar. The feature was discovered in the desktop version of Chrome Canary. However, it was also spotted in Chrome Canary for Android.<\/p>\n

\"chrome<\/p>\n

It can be found by activating a flag and following these steps:<\/p>\n

Open Chrome Canary and go to chrome:\/\/flags
\nEnable \u201cContextual Tasks Pin Button In Toolbar\u201d
\nOpen a new tab page
\nClick on the Customize button
\nFind Toolbar and enable Google Search AI Mode<\/p>\n

Once the AI mode button is visible in the toolbar, you can click on it to open a side panel. Here you\u2019ll be able to dive deeper into the current page you\u2019re on. You\u2019ll be able to ask questions and add files as you please.<\/p>\n

It appears that Google has yet to nail down a name for the button. \u201cBrowse with AI\u201d or \u201cGoogle Search AI Mode\u201d are believed to be possibilities. However, the company could choose something completely different in the final version.<\/p>\n
