Google AI Mode Helps Users Plan Offline Activities
Google's AI Mode in Search now assists users in planning real-world activities, from finding local classes and shopping for gear to booking event tickets and designing party invites. The feature leverages Personal Intelligence to connect Google apps like Calendar for personalized suggestions. Users can ask AI Mode to find beginner tennis lessons or affordable hiking boots with ankle support, check local stock, and even call stores for availability. Canvas in AI Mode allows creation of strategy guides for games like chess, including game simulations. For live events, AI Mode curates ticket options based on budget and preferences. Integration with apps like Canva enables custom design generation directly in search results. This launch coincides with rising search trends for offline activities: "adult tennis lessons," "trail running," "hiking," and "run club" are at all-time highs, while queries for "how to digital detox" have surged 110% since the start of the year.
