LONDON: Google used its annual I/O conference on Tuesday to push artificial intelligence deeper into everyday life, unveiling a wave of new products and updates that complete the shift of its flagship Gemini system from a standalone tool into the backbone of Android, Search and Workspace. The 2026 line‑up positions this year as another all‑AI moment for the company, with Google promising more helpful “agents” that can act on users’ behalf while insisting it will keep balancing innovation with “responsible” and “inclusive” AI.

Updates to Gemini, Search, and more at Google I/O.

Google is introducing a range of new AI tools, including an AI assistant called Gemini Spark, which proactively performs tasks for users.
