AI Mode on Google search now lets users create search agents
Google
Google has started rolling out AI Search agents that can monitor the web for users and send updates when relevant information changes. The feature was first announced at Google I/O 2026 as part of Google’s wider AI Mode overhaul, which also included a redesigned search box, Gemini 3.5 Flash, personal intelligence features, and new agentic tools for creating mini apps and dashboards.
The new feature is called information agents. It is designed for searches that do not end with a single answer. Instead of checking the same query again and again, users can ask Google to keep tracking a topic in the background.
How Google’s AI Search agents work
Information agents run inside AI Mode in Google Search. Users can enter a prompt asking Google to follow a specific topic, product, event, price, score, or development. The agent then continues scanning sources such as the web, financial data, sports scores, and social posts.
Information agents in Search are now available in all AI Mode languages & markets for Google AI Ultra subscribers.
Just ask AI Mode to keep you updated on any topic, and your agent will work around the clock on your behalf to send detailed updates and links to the web the moment… https://t.co/9AQyOLuZoV
For example, a user could ask Google to track flight prices, monitor updates on a product launch, follow job openings in a specific role, keep an eye on housing listings, or watch a developing news story. When something relevant changes, Google can send a notification through the Google app.
The feature is more flexible than traditional alerts because the request can be written in natural language. Users do not need to rely only on exact keywords. When new information is found, Google sends a brief summary of what has changed or been updated regarding the user’s query, along with relevant links so they can explore the sources in more detail.
Who can use it and where to find it
Google said at I/O 2026 that information agents would first launch for Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers. The current rollout appears to be starting with AI Ultra users inside AI Mode, which starts at $99.99 per month.

To use the feature, users need to open AI Mode in Google Search and ask it to monitor something. It can be triggered by using phrases like “keep me updated on” or “alert me when” in the prompt window. Once created, the agent can be managed from AI Mode history, where users can adjust or stop tracking.
The feature looks useful, though it will need proper real-world testing to see how well it actually performs.

Apple made Liquid Glass adjustable, which says plenty about Liquid Glass
The new slider is useful, welcome, and mildly hilarious after a year of Apple acting like transparent everything was the obvious future.
Apple’s big glassy software future now comes with a way to make it less glassy. In iOS 27, users can adjust the translucency of the Liquid Glass effect, while macOS Golden Gate adds its own Liquid Glass controls under System Settings.
Liquid Glass is still alive across Apple’s platforms, still shimmering through menus and panels, still doing the elegant UI trick Apple clearly likes. The big visual bet has already earned a dimmer switch. After a year of treating translucency like the obvious next step, WWDC’s most revealing design update may be the one that lets people dial it back.
Windows 11 just fixed one of Search’s dumbest limitations, and you’ll wonder how you lived without it
One less character, one less annoyance every time you search your PC.
If you have ever typed two letters into the Windows 11 search box, paused, and watched nothing useful happen until you added more characters, you already know exactly why this Windows 11 update matters.
Microsoft's June 2026 Patch Tuesday update, part of a release Windows Latest calls the biggest of the year (via Windows Latest), quietly fixes that. Windows Search can now find and prioritize files with as few as two characters, down from the old three-character minimum.
Brazil’s secret World Cup weapon taught the team when to ignore it
The data said he wasn't running enough. The footage said he was always in the “perfect tactical position.”
Brazil has more World Cup titles than anyone, five of them to be precise, but after going through five straight tournaments without adding to that count, the team is leaning hard on data this time.
Every player wears a sensor-packed "smart vest" tracking field position (via GPS), heart rate, and a stat called "player load," the same kind of numbers that your Whoop band or Apple Watch brags about, but tuned specifically for the sport.
