Google opened its Search Generative Experience (SGE), which answers queries with generative AI, to users in Japan and India. These were the first two countries outside the United States where Search Labs, the opt-in home for experimental features, became available; in Japan it worked in Japanese. Voice input was supported. In India, Google added a toggle between English and Hindi and the option to have answers read aloud. Ads would continue to appear in dedicated slots, the company said.
