Google I\/O 2026 was held May 19\u201320 at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California. Before the event started, Google said the conference would highlight its latest AI breakthroughs plus product updates across Gemini, Android, and more, with keynotes, fireside chats, and product demos.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the event was positioned as an AI-heavy developer conference, with emphasis on Gemini and Android updates. Google\u2019s own event materials also framed it as a showcase for broader product and platform changes across the company.<\/p>\n

Before the conference, reporting said the main themes would likely include AI, Android 17, Chrome, and Google Cloud, along with technical sessions and workshops for developers. Google also promoted a \u201csave the date\u201d interactive experience built with Gemini ahead of the event. Besides, Google positioned AI as moving from \u201cassistant\u201d \u2011 style tools into an \u201cagentic\u201d era, where AI systems can autonomously handle complex tasks across products.<\/p>\n

New AI models and tools<\/h2>\n

At the I\/O Google introduced the Gemini 3.5 series, with Gemini 3.5 Flash as a fast, efficient model for coding, reasoning, and real\u2011world workflow. Besides, the company announced that Gemini 3.5 Pro would follow next month.<\/p>\n

It also unveiled Gemini Omni, a multimodal model that can generate and edit video from text, images, and audio prompts, targeting use in Gemini, YouTube Shorts, and Google Flow, with automatic SynthID watermarks on AI\u2011generated video.<\/p>\n

AI in search and everyday apps<\/h2>\n

Google framed a major overhaul of Google Search as the \u201cbiggest transformation in over two decades,\u201d adding a redesigned, AI\u2011powered interface that accepts text, images, files, and even Chrome tabs as inputs, making queries more conversational.<\/p>\n

It also announced that AI\u2011powered agents will increasingly schedule appointments, auto\u2011fill forms, and manage shopping carts across Android, Gmail, Chrome, and other apps, turning each product into an \u201cagent\u201d that acts on your behalf.<\/p>\n

Agents and developer platforms<\/h2>\n

Google emphasized its Antigravity platform (now Antigravity 2.0) as an \u201cagent\u2011first\u201d environment for developers to orchestrate AI agents that can build Android and web apps, manage workflows, and plug into tools like Chrome DevTools.<\/p>\n

Overall, the company said AI is no longer just a feature bolted onto products but is becoming the core of how users interact with Google\u2019s ecosystem, from search and video to shopping and wearables.<\/p>\n
