Google’s redesigned Gemini comes with a new interface and AI models

Google announced several updates for the Gemini app at its annual I/O developer conference, including a design language called “Neural Expressive” that gives it a redesigned interface with new typography, smoother animations and haptic feedback. The company has also integrated Gemini Live into the core Gemini experience.

Currently, you’ll have to press the Live button to have spoken conversations with the AI, but the redesign will allow you to easily switch between typing and speaking with the chatbot. Google also introduces regional dialects for Gemini and designs its responses with images, graphics and even narrated videos, so as not to respond with walls of text. The redesigned chatbot is now rolling out globally on Android and iOS.

A new AI agent called Daily Brief will also be available starting today. If you sign up, Daily Brief will gather information from all your connected apps, such as Gmail and Calendar, in the background to give a summary of your day’s activities, as well as any communications you have coming up. In addition to giving you a quick overview of your emails and upcoming events, it can prioritize the things you need to do in the day based on your goals and will suggest next steps you can take. You can train the agent to be more in tune with your thinking by nudging their responses up or down. Daily Briefing is rolling out today, starting in the US, as part of Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscriptions.

Google also released a new model called Gemini Omni that combines text prompts, images, and videos that you upload to generate video output. You can change video backgrounds with a text prompt and apply effects, as well as built-in templates, to the output. If you want to insert yourself into videos, it can create an avatar that looks like you. The new model will be available today to all Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra subscribers.

Another new agent is Gemini Spark, which the company describes as a “24/7 personal AI agent.” It runs on Gemini 3.5 and is deeply integrated with Workspace apps like Gmail, Doc, and Slides. It can also link to other apps like Canva, OpenTable, and Instacart. You can use it to do recurring tasks, like reviewing your credit card bills every month to find hidden subscription fees. You can also create entire workflows from it. Spark can, for example, create notes from information in emails and chats, write a report on Google Docs, and then write an email using that information to create a new project. Spark will be introduced to testers this week, before rolling out to Google AI Ultra beta subscribers in the US.

Finally, Google is offering Spark to the Gemini application for macOS this summer, as well as new voice experiences. Even if you use filler words and phrases while you speak, Gemini will be able to turn your speech into precise drafts that you can then use for your reports or emails.
