12. AI Mode Facilitates Direct Shopping and Reservations

The improved AI Mode in Google Search not just responds to questions naturally but also enables users to buy things, book restaurants, or schedule services right on the platform. No need to switch between different websites, making it easy to find a place to eat, for example, or shop for a gift. It is Google’s transition to becoming a full-fledged e-commerce and life assistant.
