Google Search evolves into a more intelligent and conversational platform, and AI Mode is leading that transformation, combining AI reasoning with real-time web results.
The big news is that… Our SERP API now fully supports Google AI Mode! With this update, your tools and workflows won’t miss a thing.
What is Google’s AI Mode?
AI Mode in Google Search introduced a new standalone interface for generative search. It’s kind of a more advanced version of AI Overview, but with deeper reasoning, follow-up capabilities, and a distinct SERP layout. AI Mode tab doesn’t just offer answers — it responds like a conversational assistant. Similarly to AI Overviews, it provides links to referenced sources, so keeping track of the websites selected by Google’s AI is critical.

How to track AI Mode results with SERP API
This update introduces full support for AI Mode as a separate search engine type in the DataForSEO Google SERP API. Currently, it works with all Google locations, but only in English language.
To get AI Mode data, just use one of the new endpoints: Live or Task POST + Task GET.
The API response will return comprehensive data for the generated results, structured identically to the ai_overview element from Organic Google Search.
See our docs for response examples >>
