We’re upgrading Google Translate with Gemini 3.5 Live Translate - our latest audio model for near real-time speech-to-speech translation! This model unlocks smoother, even more natural-sounding translations, and helps preserve the speaker’s tone, pace, and pitch.

My unofficial #GoogleIO tradition: grabbing a photo with the Android statue (pics span 2016 to this year!). While my outfit choices clearly haven't really changed :) the technology has transformed so much. I’m so incredibly proud of the focus and speed everyone has brought to this moment. A huge thank you to the whole team and congrats on another amazing I/O!

At #GML2026 w/ @semaforben I talked about how Gemini is powering growth for businesses. Two examples of what’s new: Ads for AI Search: a new generation of ad formats that are intuitive to the experience and help advertisers show up in the moments that matter most. Gemini tools: adding agentic tools to help businesses create and optimize campaigns. Especially excited about Ask Advisor, a cross-product AI agent to simplify and supercharge your workflow.

It’s been just one year since we launched AI Mode in Google Search and the momentum has been incredible: 1B monthly active users and queries doubling every quarter! But what’s even more incredible is seeing how user behavior is changing: Beyond simple questions → 3X avg search query length compared to a traditional query Beyond keywords → Planning queries (like weekend plans) are growing 80% faster Beyond text → 1 in 6 searches are now multimodal, with image queries growing 40% MoM Beyond quick q’s → Top first words in AI Mode queries: 1) what, 2) how, 3) I, 4) is, 5) can More insights here: blog.google/products-and-pla…

Big day at #GoogleIO! Bringing together the best of a search engine the best of AI to help you ask what's really on your mind: New intelligent Search box seamless AI Search Information agents Antigravity in Search Universal Cart My run down on what we shared below 👇 💬 New intelligent Search box & seamless Search experience: This is our biggest upgrade to our iconic Search box since its debut 25 years ago! Now, it expands as you type, you can ask questions across modalities (with text, images, files, Chrome tabs, videos), and it offers AI-powered suggestions to help you formulate your *whole* question. We’re also making it simpler to continue the conversation with Search, bringing AI Overviews and AI Mode into a seamless AI Search experience. So you can flow from your question, to your response on the main Search Results Page, to follow-ups in AI Mode. 👀 Information agents to keep you updated on whatever you’re looking for: We’re entering the era of Search agents! To start, you can set information agents to work for you in the background, searching 24/7 to find you exactly what you’re looking for so you can get updated the moment it changes. Your information agents give you intelligent, synthesized updates and hyper-relevant links, so you can discover fresh content from websites and creators and stay on top of whatever matters to you most. 🔍 Bringing Antigravity into Search: We’re bringing Gemini 3.5 Flash’s agentic coding capabilities and Antigravity right into Search. So Search can now custom-code responses, on the fly, totally personalized to your question. You can get interactive visuals to help you understand a tough concept. And you can even ask Search to build you dynamic tools, dashboards, or planners for long-running projects you want to keep coming back to. 🛍️ Introducing the Universal Cart: We've been building the foundation for agentic shopping with the world’s most comprehensive catalog of products in our Shopping Graph, a common language for agents and systems with the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP), and the payments infrastructure to make agentic checkout seamless. Now we’re introducing the Universal Cart, an intelligent shopping cart that enables you to shop across merchants and will be available across Search, Gemini app, YouTube, and Gmail. With over 1B monthly active users on AI Mode, overall Search queries in Q1 reaching an all-time high, and the new frontier capabilities we announced today, it’s clear that AI is fueling Search’s next wave of growth.
