The AI Daily: Google is introducing "AI Mode," an experimental Search feature powered by Gemini 2.0 that delivers comprehensive AI responses for complex queries, while also expanding its AI Overviews to more users.
Key notes:
- AI Mode handles nuanced questions requiring exploration, comparison and reasoning with follow-up capability.
- The system uses "query fan-out" technique to search multiple subtopics simultaneously.
- AI Overviews now enhanced with Gemini 2.0 for coding, advanced math, and multimodal queries.
- Teens can now access AI Overviews, and users no longer need to sign in.
- Google One AI Premium subscribers will be first to test the experimental feature.
Why it matters: Google's AI enhancements represent a significant evolution of Search, moving beyond simple answers to tackle complex, multi-part questions that previously required multiple searches. By combining Gemini 2.0 with Google's information systems and making these features more accessible, the company is positioning itself at the forefront of AI-powered search while still prioritizing web content discovery.

The AI Daily: OpenAI is reportedly preparing to launch specialized AI "agents" with premium pricing reaching up to $20,000 per month, targeting enterprise customers with deep pockets and specific business needs.
Key notes:
- Multiple agent products are planned for different applications, including a $2,000/month "high-income knowledge worker" agent.
- Software engineering agents will cost approximately $10,000/month.
- The top-tier $20,000/month agent will support "PhD-level research" capabilities.
- SoftBank, a major OpenAI investor, has already committed to spending $3 billion on these agent products in 2025.
Why it matters: With losses of roughly $5 billion last year, OpenAI needs significant revenue streams to sustain operations and development. These premium agents represent a shift toward high-value enterprise offerings that could help the company achieve profitability while pushing the boundaries of what AI agents can accomplish in specialized professional domains.
