Google has begun testing interactive charts in AI Mode for finance-related queries, allowing users to generate custom graphs that compare stock and mutual fund performance over time. The feature represents an expansion of Google’s AI Mode capabilities, which initially launched as a Search Labs experiment earlier this year before becoming available to all US users.
What you should know: The interactive charts feature currently focuses exclusively on finance queries and is available only as a Search Labs experiment in the United States.
- Users can ask questions like “compare the stock performance of blue chip CPG companies in 2024” to generate dynamic graphs with accompanying data tables.
- The charts update in real-time as users interact with them, and follow-up questions can refine or expand the analysis.
- Google plans to expand support beyond finance to other topics in the future.
How it works: Google’s AI Mode uses advanced models to interpret user queries and determine the most effective way to present financial data visually.
- The system taps into both real-time and historical financial information to create accurate comparisons.
- When users interact with the generated graphs, the accompanying data tables dynamically update to reflect the selected information.
- The feature intelligently determines how to present complex datasets in an easily digestible format.
The big picture: This development builds on Google’s broader AI Mode initiative, which debuted at Google I/O with expanded capabilities including Deep Search and Project Astra integration.
- Interactive graphics for complex datasets were previewed earlier this year as an upcoming AI Mode feature.
- The finance-focused rollout appears to be a testing ground for broader data visualization capabilities across different subject areas.
Why this matters: The feature addresses a common challenge in financial analysis by making it easier for users to compare and understand market performance without requiring specialized tools or expertise.
- Google says the system helps users “make sense” of complex financial information through intelligent data presentation.
- The interactive nature allows for deeper exploration of financial trends compared to static search results.
