The American tech giant is rolling out "visual place and product cards" for when people are surfing the web for their next dinner trip spot or some must-buys for an upcoming trip.

With restaurants, a new feature will allow users to quickly see ratings, reviews and opening hours.

And shopping customers can find out "real-time prices", images of products and shipping details.

It is powered by the search engine's "trusted and up-to-date info about local businesses".

The firm said in a blog post: "If you're planning a summer camping trip, try searching for something like 'best foldable camping chair that would fit in a backpack for under $100.'

"AI Mode will give you a comprehensive breakdown of recommended products that fit your budget, along with product details and links to retailers."

Also, the firm is making it easier for users to get back to information they have found with a new desktop addition.

People can click a "new left-side panel" to access their past searches, and "each topic will include the info that AI Mode already found".

Users can then "ask follow-up questions" or take their "next steps".

Google - which said it will "quickly and improve AI Mode" based on users' input - added: "Millions of people are using AI Mode in Labs to search in new ways - asking longer, harder questions, using follow-up questions to hone in on what they really want to know, and discovering new websites and businesses along the way.

"With AI Mode, you can truly ask Search anything - from complex explanations about tech and electronics to comparisons that help with really specific tasks, like assessing insurance options for a new pet.

"Based on the incredibly positive feedback we’re getting, we’re removing the waitlist so anyone in the US can now get immediate access to AI Mode in Labs - and we’re adding new features to help you get things done.

"We're excited for you to try these new features, and we’ll continue to quickly improve and evolve AI Mode based on your input."
