(Reuters) – Google (NASDAQ:) on Wednesday rolled out an AI-powered feature in the United States that will allow users to search with an image and text simultaneously using their mobile phones.

Users of smartphones such as Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro and the new Samsung Galaxy S24 series would be able to use multisearch with gestures without switching apps from Jan. 31, the Alphabet-owned company said at the Samsung Electronics (KS:) Unpacked event.

Mountain View, California-based Google makes most of its revenue from the online search market. It has been competing with Microsoft (NASDAQ:) for the past year over generative artificial intelligence (AI).

The company said the multisearch feature can be used with its lens camera icon in the Google app for Android & iOS.
