Whether someone types, speaks, or snaps a photo, AI Max helps ensure the right ad shows up—driving better results with less manual work.
? AI Mode. AI Mode is our most powerful AI search, with more advanced reasoning and multimodality, and the ability to go deeper through follow-up questions and helpful links to the web. Early testers are asking questions two to three times longer than traditional searches. We’ll soon begin testing relevant ads within AI Mode in the US, integrated into responses where it makes sense. This gives brands even more chances to show up in highly relevant, AI-powered moments.
? YouTube Creator Partnerships Hub. A new tool in Google Ads that makes it easier than ever for brands to discover and collaborate with YouTube creators.

By learning from your inputs like landing pages and performance data, Agentic AI can automatically generate, optimize, and maintain campaigns. In Ads, that means helpful features like real-time keyword suggestions and creative tweaks. In Analytics, it means instant, smarter insights. It's less manual work, and more time for strategy, creativity, and results.
