Google launched AI Overviews in Search earlier this year, starting with the U.S., to help people quickly find information and discover all the web has to offer. Now, the tech giant is bringing AI Overviews to six new countries, including India.
In India, Google is rolling out AI Overviews in both English and Hindi and is also introducing popular India-first features that were well-received during the Search Labs experiment: helping you easily switch between English and Hindi results with the language toggle button, and listen to responses with Text-To-Speech by tapping the ‘Listen’ button.
“As part of the testing, we’ve seen that Indian users listen to AI Overviews responses more often than other countries,” Google announced.

For context, AI Overviews help you find what you’re looking for faster and easier in search results. AI Overviews can take the work out of searching by providing an AI-generated snapshot with key information and links to dig deeper.
Google is also introducing more ways to check out relevant websites while you search, with a new right-hand link display for AI Overviews on desktop – also accessible on mobile by tapping the site icons on the upper right. These updates are starting to roll out globally today for AI Overviews in all launched countries, as well as for Search Labs users in more than 120 countries and territories.

Google is also testing the addition of links to relevant web pages directly within the text of AI Overviews (in addition to the prominent links the tech giant already shows), making it even easier for people to click out and visit sites that interest them.
“AI Overviews can open up new ways to search that were never possible before. Now, more people around the world can use Search to ask new kinds of questions, find the information they need even faster, and explore the best the web has to offer,” Google said.
