Advertising giant Google has secured a brand-new web address for itself.
The company has been reshuffling its domains over the past year as well. In the spring of 2025, the company shut down its country-specific Google domains, and redirected them all to a single google.com address.
Google's latest domain works a little differently. G.AI also redirects to google.com, but instead of opening the regular search tab, it takes users directly to the AI Mode tab.
AI Mode is a conversational interface that looks and feels very similar to, for example, ChatGPT in terms of functionality. However, Google's AI Mode is designed primarily for information retrieval rather than for open-ended conversations with an AI.
