Google held its annual Google I/O event today, launching new AI products and giving us a glimpse of what to expect in the near future. Google I/O is Google’s equivalent of Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, and Google’s announcements provide a glimpse of what Apple will be competing with in the coming months. We’ve rounded up everything Google announced at I/O across its product lineup. Gemini Gemini Omni – Gemini Omni is a new model that can create anything from any input, and better simulates gravity and kinetic energy. It combines Gemini intelligence with generative models like Nano Banana and Veo. It supports conversational language video editing and allows users to upload videos and edit any element of the video. Omni starts with video, but Google’s Demis Hassabis says it will eventually be able to create any output from any input. Gemini Omni Flash – Gemini Omni Flash is the first Omni model launched by Google and it is available starting today in the Gemini app. Gemini 3.5 Flash – Gemini 3.5 Flash is a new model that, according to Google’s Sundar Pichai, combines cutting-edge intelligence and action. Flash is better in almost all benchmarks compared to 3.1 Pro, and it is “on par with the best models” but faster. Gemini 3.5 Flash is available today to everyone in Google products and APIs. Gemini 3.5 Pro – Google is testing Gemini 3.5 Pro internally and will be released next month. Gemini app – Google redesigned the Gemini app with a new Neural Expressive design language that is rolling out today to desktop, iOS and Android. It features smooth animations, vibrant colors, haptic feedback, and new typography. Custom regional dialects will also be added over the coming months. Gemini Omni is available today to paid Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers in the Gemini app, making it easier to create and edit videos. AI Agents for Gemini – Gemini has AI agents, like a Daily Brief agent that presents users with a personalized daily summary. Daily Brief is rolling out today to paid subscribers. Gemini app for Mac – Mac users will be able to select a set of images and documents in Finder, then press the Function key to give Gemini a voice command telling what to do with the files. Google’s demo involved sending an email to a kennel with the dog’s information and image, with information pulled from Finder to generate an email using Gmail in Chrome. Voice support and Gemini Spark will come to the Gemini Mac app this summer. Gemini for science – Gemini for Science is a collection of scientific tools, and there is also a co-scientific AI collaborative research partner. AI content identification Identify AI-generated images – C2PA content credentials are coming to Gemini and Chrome. Google’s tools can determine whether an image was captured with a camera or made with AI, and can determine whether an image captured with a camera was altered with AI. Users will be able to right-click an image in Chrome and ask Gemini if it was generated with AI. Antigravity Antigravity 2.0 – Google releases a new Antigravity 2.0 desktop application that uses Gemini 3.5 Flash. Antigravity is Google’s coding tool, and the equivalent of Copilot, Codex and Claude Code. Gemini 3.5 Flash is 12x faster in antigravity, which optimizes token usage. Antigravity 2.0 is available worldwide for everyone. Gemini Spark Gemini Spark – Gemini Spark is a personal AI agent that helps users navigate their digital lives. Gemini Spark runs on virtual machines via Google Cloud and can run 24/7, without needing to have a laptop open to operate. It’s accessible through the Gemini app, but there will also be options to send it via email or message. It uses Gemini 3.5 Flash and Antigravity to work on long-running tasks in the background. It now integrates with Google tools, and Google will launch MCP support for third-party apps in the coming weeks. Gemini Spark can perform continuous multi-step tasks, schedule subtasks, and track steps. Gemini Spark will be available to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the US next week and will work with Chrome later this summer. Google Search Google Search – Google Search AI Mode and AI Previews now use Gemini 3.5 Flash. “Google Search is AI Search” was Google’s message. There’s a new Google search box that’s been redesigned with AI, and it changes based on how you use it and goes “beyond autocomplete” to help you ask questions better. The search box supports images, files, videos, and Chrome tabs as input in addition to text. Pichai said this is the biggest upgrade to the search field in more than 25 years, and is being rolled out today. Google also combines AI Previews and AI Mode into a single interface. Agents in search – Search now supports creating and managing multiple AI agents. It can keep users informed about what’s happening in the world, such as changes in the stock market, and send alerts. Search will be able to monitor changes on web pages, so users can receive alerts about things like sneaker drops. Information agents will be coming to search this summer, and Google plans to add more agents. Coding in research – Agent coding capabilities are coming to research. Search will be able to create a custom response on the fly with dynamic layouts, interactive widgets and more for queries. It uses antigravity and 3.5 flash. Search can create tools, trackers, widgets, and dashboards. Generative UI in Search will be rolling out for free this summer to everyone. Antigravity in Search for creating personalized experiences will arrive first this summer for subscribers. Shopping in search – Google is offering a new universal shopping cart this summer for search and the Gemini application. It is a smart shopping cart that works with all merchants and services. You can add items to cart when you read Gmail, watch YouTube, or browse the web, then checkout on Google or third-party retailer sites. Google has a universal commerce protocol and an agent payments protocol for agent purchases. The payments feature allows AI agents to make payments on your behalf using parameters you define like brand and price. It will come to Gemini Spark later this year. YouTube Ask YouTube – YouTube benefits from an Ask YouTube feature, similar to the Ask Maps AI feature. It uses Gemini and allows users to ask questions. It supports pop-up and follow-up questions, and it is currently under testing. It will be widely rolled out in the United States this summer. Google Docs Live Documents – With AI integration in Docs Live, users can speak or write the parameters they need, and Gemini can create a document. Google’s Sundar Pichai said users could “empty their brains” and then let Gemini “do the rest.” The feature supports text commands to create and edit content. Material Android XR audio glasses – The first Android XR audio glasses will arrive this fall, providing all-day access to Gemini with responses spoken privately into the wearer’s ear. The glasses can be used to take photos, listen to music, make calls and access apps. Google worked with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker on the design of the glasses, and Samsung on the hardware. The glasses will pair with Android and iOS devices. Miscellaneous announcements Google AI Ultra plan – Google is offering a new $100 Ultra plan and dropping the price of its high-end Ultra plan from $250 to $200.
