If you want to use Search’s AI Mode, Google has made it so there are plenty of ways to do so. Clicking on the AI Mode tab while in Search is the direct way. However, there are also shortcuts in the omnibox and in the search bar when you open a new tab page. As if the feature wasn’t prominent enough, Google is working on one more way to access the tool.

Spotted by the folks over at Windows Report, Google appears to be testing an optional AI Mode button for the Chrome toolbar. The feature was discovered in the desktop version of Chrome Canary. However, it was also spotted in Chrome Canary for Android.
