Google Launches AI Mode in India With Restaurant Booking Feature via Search
Google has launched new 'agentive' capabilities for AI Mode in India, allowing users to search for restaurants from multiple sources and book reservations in a single step, instead of multiple steps.
Google has made an announcement about the launch of agent-like functions on its AI Mode in India. The function enables users to directly search and make reservations at restaurants via Search. According to the tech giant, the aim is to make real-life tasks more efficient and easier so users can complete their tasks faster. Google claims that these new agentive capabilities can handle multi-step queries and reduce the effort required to manually search across different platforms.
The company stated in a press note that with this update, AI Mode can process detailed restaurant booking requests by understanding a variety of conditions. These conditions include party size, date, time, location, and food preferences. This system scans multiple sources in real-time to identify the right option, rather than searching across different apps and websites separately.
According to Google, the feature has the ability to look up live availability on multiple platforms, collate the information, and present a shortlist of relevant restaurants. In case of satisfactory results, the feature offers a direct link to make reservations without any additional hassle. Google claims that making a reservation at a restaurant has become a one-step process.

This experience is powered by Google's Knowledge Graph, Maps integration, and Project Mariner's live web browsing capabilities, as well as direct partner integrations. In India, the tech giant is working with platforms like Zomato, Swiggy, and EazyDiner to enable this functionality.
The restaurant reservation feature is currently being rolled out in the country, and more use cases and integrations are expected to be added in the future.
The introduction of new 'Agentic' capabilities is part of Google's strategy to expand its Gemini AI ecosystem in India. The company recently announced several new features, including the launch of Search Live in multiple regional languages using the Gemini 3.1 Flash Live model.
The shopping experience in AI Mode in India has also been improved to allow users to more efficiently browse, compare, and purchase products. As a result, users can now find product listings, comparison tables, pricing information, and purchase links directly in chat, instead of relying on traditional keyword searches.
