Google has begun rolling out AI-powered “information agents” in AI Mode for Search, which help users keep track of topics and receive ongoing updates. The company first revealed these agents at I/O 2026, when it announced sweeping changes to legacy Search. Now, the agents are available to AI Ultra subscribers.
Users can ask AI Mode to keep an eye on topics like new product launches, stock movements, flight prices, sports news, or job and rental listings. Once set up, an information agent continuously monitors the web in the background and provides summaries when it finds new information. It tracks updates across news sites, blogs, social platforms, live data sources, and more.
Users can create multiple agents and adjust or stop them whenever they want to, 9to5Google reports. Google claims this method changes Search into a system that continuously tracks information rather than just answering one-time questions, allegedly reducing repetitive searching, especially for ongoing events.
Google says it will expand information agents beyond AI Ultra, with AI Pro subscribers next in line and potentially a wider rollout to free users later in the year.
