Use Google AI Mode when you want a workflow step to run a Google AI Mode search and reuse that result elsewhere in your workflow.

​
Configuration

OptionRequiredDescription
NameNoLabel for the step in the workflow canvas.
Search QueryYesThe value entered in Search Query.
Charge TypeNoWhether the step uses Hosted or Personal billing.
LanguageNoLanguage code used for the query. You can choose a preset language or enter a custom value.
Language Custom ValueNoTurns Custom Value on for Language.
LocationNoLocation used for the query. You can choose a preset location or enter a custom value.
Location Custom ValueNoTurns Custom Value on for Location.
When the step failsNoControls whether the workflow should Terminate Workflow or Continue if this step fails.
This step uses the standard Settings and Output tab layout.
Use the Insert Variable button next to Search Query, Language, and Location when those values should come from start inputs or earlier step output. For Language and Location, Custom Value changes the control from a selectable list into a freeform field. To inspect supported countries programmatically, use Search Service Countries. Google AI Mode uses country-name values such as United States.

​
Output

This step stores the returned Google AI Mode result as the step output. When Parallelization is enabled, each version runs at the same time and the step output becomes an ordered array with one entry per successful version. Use the base output reference in later steps: 
{{STEP_IDENTIFIER.output}}
If the response contains object fields, you can reference them with nested paths: 
{{step_2.output.some_field}}
The exact fields depend on the returned result, so inspect the Output tab or the variable picker before you rely on nested references.

​
Example

Add Google AI Mode to your workflow. Set Search Query to the topic you want to research. Choose Hosted or Personal in the model type field, then set Language and Location from the presets or with Custom Value enabled. To compare multiple query, language, or location versions, enable Parallelization and configure each version’s overrides. Click Run in the step header, then review the result in Output before passing that data into another step.

Notes

  • Google AI Mode is a separate step from Google AI Overview and has its own settings page.
  • The visible difference in this editor is the Hosted or Personal billing option in the settings form.
  • Use the variable picker to insert nested output paths after you have a real result to inspect.
