Google will begin rolling out information agents within AI Mode on 12 June 2026. This is the first set of Search agents announced at I/O 2026. They run continuously in the background to search for information across the web.
Google scans blogs, news sites, social media posts and web pages, alongside real-time data on finance, shopping and sports. As soon as something changes for a specific query, the agent generates a summarised update with options to take action.
Implications for your visibility
People no longer need to search manually to stay updated. A Search agent carries out checks automatically. Scheduled actions in the Gemini app search once a day at most, while Gemini Spark checks every 15 minutes. A Search agent delivers an update as soon as new information appears.
If you run an estate agency in The Hague, a house hunter might ask AI Mode for alerts when new listings meet their criteria. The agent scans the web and notifies the user the moment a matching property goes online.
Information agents are available now for Google AI Ultra subscribers. This subscription costs $99.99 or $199.99 per month. The feature works across all languages and markets supported by AI Mode. Google will also bring Search agents to Google AI Pro this summer.
Remaining visible to AI agents
Because AI agents scan and summarise sources directly, the system decides which websites to display. Users activate the feature in AI Mode using prompts such as “keep me updated on” or “alert me when”.
As a business owner, you want your information to be easy for these automated systems to process.
