TODAY IN WORLD OF AI

📲AI Mode for search is here and it’s personal

Google is officially bringing its AI-powered Search Labs to India, offering early access to its AI Overview feature in English and Hindi. This isn’t just a UI upgrade, it’s a paradigm shift.

Gone are the days of 10 blue links. With AI Overviews, users get contextual summaries, follow-up prompts, and even a scrollable “jump ahead” snapshot, allowing for faster, more intelligent discovery.

Why this matters for start-ups & builders?

▪️ Voice, local language, and intent-based search are converging offering new SEO and content discovery challenges (and opportunities).

▪️ Builders should watch how AI abstracts away layers of friction in search-based interfaces.

▪️ The mobile-first Indian user may leapfrog to conversational search sooner than expected.

If your product relies on discoverability via organic search, it's time to rethink your SEO playbook. AI Overviews are not just answers, they’re filters. Make sure your value still cuts through.

Indian users can test the feature via Chrome on mobile by enabling “Search Labs.” Watch how queries evolve and adapt your positioning fast. This rollout isn’t just about AI in search, it’s about redefining how a billion users access and trust digital information.

📱A glimpse into OpenAI + Jony Ive’s AI device vision

According to recent court filings, OpenAI and Jony Ive have been quietly working on something that could redefine personal computing: an AI-native hardware device. And it’s not just a rumor, it’s reportedly been in the works since 2023.

Why this is big?

▪️ This isn’t about putting ChatGPT in a phone. It’s about designing a device from the ground up for AI-first interaction.

▪️ Think less screen-tapping, more conversational computing where prompts replace apps, and AI becomes the OS.

▪️ The project may feature contextual awareness, ambient intelligence, and intuitive interfaces inspired by Apple’s legendary design playbook.

What’s at stake?

▪️ If executed well, this could become the “iPhone of AI”, a leap forward in how we experience and rely on machines daily.

It challenges not just Apple, but also Meta’s Ray-Ban AI, Rabbit R1, and Humane AI Pin, all still finding footing in this new interface war.
