At Google's I/O developer conference, it previewed new visual search, a search agent, and new personalization features coming this summer.

Project Astra is Google’s most ambitious AI project, and its next job is to figure out how to involve itself in your life without being a pain.

Google announced several updates to the Gemini AI chatbot app during Google I/O 2025, including more broadly available multimodal AI features, updated AI models, and deeper integrations with Google’s suite of products.

Gemini AI will soon have an Agent mode that can go out and do web tasks for you. It can spin up a browser, and use new protocols to accomplish multistep tasks for you, with minimal instruction from your side.
