Google announced new ways to use its AI Search tools to plan dinner parties, highlighting features like visualizing tablescapes and discovering recipes. The company said trending searches show growing interest in hosting, with queries such as "what is a progressive dinner party" and "mahjong dinner party" rising this year.

Google detailed five features in a blog post. Users can visualize creative tablescapes using Nano Banana in AI Mode and discover menus with a new visual treatment that shows recipe creator names, ratings, and ingredient counts. AI Mode can also recommend drink pairings for specific dishes.

The tools allow users to connect apps to create playlists and save them to YouTube Music. Additionally, Nano Banana in AI Mode can design printable menus based on a user's selected courses. Google said the features aim to handle planning logistics so hosts can focus on their guests.
