Google’s help page lists 249 countries and territories where AI Overviews are available, and 98 languages. Of the 249 entries in ISO 3166-1, the international list of country codes, only four are missing: China, Cuba, Iran and North Korea.

We copied both lists from Google’s help page, Find information in faster & easier ways with AI Overviews in Google Search, on 8 November 2026. The page says AI Overviews are available “To all users, in the following countries, territories and languages”. We read the English version. The page carries no date of its own, so check ours before you quote a number from here.

Natural Earth draws Somaliland and Northern Cyprus as their own areas. The map colours them like Somalia and Cyprus, which are on Google's list. Small islands are too small to draw at this scale, so look for them in the lists. Map geometry: Natural Earth, 1:110m.

Countries and territories

Google groups its list into three regions. We kept its names and its order. The codes beside them are ours, from ISO 3166-1, so the list can be matched against other data. A code marked * is in common use but not assigned in ISO 3166-1.

Not on the list

Google's page names where AI Overviews are available. It does not name where they are not. We matched 245 of its entries to the 249 entries of ISO 3166-1. These four are the ISO entries that Google does not list.

Four entries on Google’s list are not in ISO 3166-1. The Canary Islands and Ceuta & Melilla are parts of Spain with reserved codes of their own (IC and EA). Kosovo uses XK, a code in common use that ISO has not assigned. The fourth entry is “Eurozone”, which has no country code at all. We list it as Google does.

The page lists the languages on their own. It does not say which language works in which country.

What this page does not tell you

Availability is where the feature can appear. Google’s help page says AI Overviews show up “when our systems determine that generative AI can be especially helpful”. It does not say how often, and neither do we.

Google’s AI features documentation says “There are no additional requirements to appear in AI Overviews or AI Mode”. It also says there’s “no special schema.org structured data that you need to add”. Google has not published how it picks the sources an overview links to, and we don’t know.

If you want to know whether AI answers cite your own site, measure it. answer-engine-benchmark is our open-source tool for that. What we measured on our own site shows a first run.

Synapse checks this list by hand. If you see it change, tell us and we will update it and the date.
