Google I/O 2025: From research to reality

At Google I/O, they  showed Google is fully in the Gemini era, showcasing significant AI innovations across products, research, and infrastructure, all geared towards making AI more helpful for everyone. Check out the recap below of what to expect.

From research to reality — we’re taking cutting-edge research to build the most helpful AI that’s more intelligent, agentic and personalized. 

And we’re building on impressive momentum — every one of our 15 products with over half a billion users now uses Gemini, our natively multimodal AI model family. 

Intelligent
We are shipping models at a relentless pace — in March, we released Gemini 2.5 Pro, setting new state-of-the-art across key benchmarks and representing a significant leap in reasoning, coding, science and maths capabilities, and we’ve built on that progress today: 

  • Gemini 2.5 advancements: Gemini 2.5 Flash is now our default model, blending incredible quality with lightning-fast response times. Our enhanced reasoning model, Deep Think (in Gemini 2.5 Pro) uses our latest research on thinking and reasoning 

  • New creative tools: Introducing Veo 3 and Imagen 4, our frontier-pushing video and image generation models. Creatives: try Flow, our new AI filmmaking tool, to create story elements (cast, locations, objects, styles) with natural language, all in one place.

 

Agentic
By applying our cutting-edge AI models across Google products, we can make them more agentic — capable of intelligently taking action on your behalf, with your permission, across a variety of tasks, from complex academic research to restaurant reservations, across the web and in your Google apps:

 

  • Project Mariner: Launched last December, Project Mariner now includes a system of agents that can complete up to ten different tasks at a time. Starting in the US, these agents can simultaneously help you look up information, make bookings, buy things, do research and more

  • Get things done, directly from Search: We’re building the agentic capabilities of Project Mariner into AI Mode in the US, helping people save time with tasks like purchasing tickets to a baseball game

  • Project Astra in Google Search: We’re integrating Project Astra’s Live capabilities into Search in the US, so you can talk back-and-forth with Search about what you see in real-time, using your camera. Stumped on a project? Simply tap the “Live” icon in AI Mode, point your camera, ask your question, and get an explanation, with links to other resources you can explore in more detail 

  • Shopping features: Our new shopping experience in AI Mode combines Gemini model capabilities with our Shopping Graph to help you browse for inspiration, and choose products that are the “right fit”. See how an outfit looks on you, and ask our agentic checkout feature to make the purchase when the price is right. 

 

Personalised
Combine knowledge of the real world with information you share about your world, so AI can be even more helpful. Optionally share personal context like search history, emails, or your schedule allows for AI responses tailored to your preferences:

  • Gemini: Our goal for the Gemini app is to become the most helpful universal AI assistant. We’re enhancing Gemini Live in the Gemini app with personal context. With your permission, it will integrate with Google services like Maps, Calendar, Tasks, and Keep (and more later) for deeper daily assistance. And it’s getting even better with more Project Astra live capabilities coming soon to Gemini Live. 

  • AI Mode: our most powerful AI search, features advanced reasoning, multimodality, and deeper exploration via follow-up questions and web links. It now also offers personalized suggestions based on past searches or other Google apps, starting with Gmail. Search “Nashville weekend, friends, food & music,” and AI Mode suggests restaurants from your booking history and activities near your hotel.

  • Gemini Deep Research & Canvas: Make Deep Research personally powerful by blending your own private files with public data for insights unique to your context. Then, let Canvas bring your personal vision to life, as Gemini 2.5 Pro turns your descriptions into working code, apps, and creative content faster than ever.

 

With this, and all our groundbreaking work, we’re building AI that’s more intelligent, agentic and personalised, enriching our lives, advancing the pace of scientific progress and ushering in a new age of discovery and wonder.
