(Reuters) – Alphabet’s Google said on Wednesday it has introduced generative artificial intelligence to its Search tool for users in India and Japan, allowing them to receive text or visual results based on prompts, including summaries.
The feature, which was initially launched exclusively in the United States, has now been rolled out in both countries this week, giving users the option to opt in.
Japanese users will be able to utilize the feature in their local languages, while in India, it will be available in English and Hindi.
Google’s search feature is primarily designed for users to search for information, such as finding something to purchase, and it differs from its chatbot Bard, which has a persona capable of engaging in human-like conversations, such as generating software code.
Google’s AI search tool competes directly with Microsoft’s Bing.
