Google used its I/O 2025 conference to announce 100 significant changes intended to boost Artificial Intelligence across its ecosystem. The company positioned Artificial Intelligence as central to its roadmap, spanning smarter Search, a more capable Gemini assistant, new creative models for video, image and music, and multimodal experiences that blend the digital and physical worlds. Collectively, these releases target more contextual results, increasingly agentic workflows, and more natural interactions across devices.
Powered by Gemini 2.5, Artificial Intelligence Mode in Search is now live in the United States, delivering comprehensive, contextual responses. Deep Search adds robust research tools and real-time data, while Project Astra enables asking questions with the camera. Google is also expanding shopping features such as price watching, simpler checkout, Artificial Intelligence summaries, and virtual try-ons for clothing. According to the company, Gemini models now serve 1.5 billion Artificial Intelligence Overviews per month across more than 200 countries.
The Gemini app received major upgrades, including tighter integrations with Gmail, Docs, Calendar, and Keep, plus Gemini Live for screen sharing and natural voice interactions. Agent Mode lets users assign tasks that Gemini executes independently, and a new Canvas Create feature turns text into quizzes and infographics. With these updates, Google is positioning Gemini to act as a true personal assistant that works consistently across phones, web apps, and other devices.
On the creative front, Google introduced Veo, a video model that produces audio-rich, high-quality footage, and Flow to help storytellers manage visuals scene by scene. Imagen 4 elevates photorealistic image generation, while Lyria 2’s Music Artificial Intelligence Sandbox enables real-time music creation. For transparency and provenance, Google is applying watermarking via SynthID to content produced with these tools, aiming the suite at filmmakers, artists, and educators.
Google’s multimodal strategy advances with Project Astra, which adds live voice interaction, on-screen control, and persistent memory to power smart glasses experiences such as real-time translation, conversational messaging, and context-aware assistance. The company also previewed Project Moohan, an Android XR headset built with Samsung and aimed at rivaling Apple’s Vision Pro. Meanwhile, Google Beam targets more lifelike communication with 3D spatial realism in video calls. For developers, Gemini is integrated across Vertex Artificial Intelligence, Chrome, and Android and is used by more than 7 million developers. New Artificial Intelligence Ultra and Artificial Intelligence Pro subscription plans, along with student access in select countries, arrive alongside security, transparency, and API enhancements to help teams build reliable, agentic Artificial Intelligence applications.
