Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
Google is expanding its AI Mode feature globally to 180 countries and territories, moving beyond its initial US, UK, and India markets. The company is also adding new agentic capabilities, starting with restaurant booking functionality. Google AI Ultra subscribers can now use AI Mode to search for restaurant reservations by specifying details like date, time, location, party size, and cuisine preferences. The AI will search through various reservation platforms to find available options and then provide direct links to booking pages.
