“All of the relentless shipping, the rapid advances in technology, it’s been a period of hyper progress. ” Google has been overhauling its business for the AI age, seeking to win over both everyday customers and corporate users. Pichai said changes to lean more into AI have helped increase usage of search. Popularity of the Gemini app, Google’s AI chatbot, has more than doubled in a year, and it now has 900 million montly users.
During Tuesday’s event, the company rolled out several new tools for developers to write code using AI and manage agents under the banner of Antigravity, a platform Google released last year following the acquisition of talent and technology from startup Windsurf in a $2.4 billion deal. Google also unveiled a new version of its flagship AI model, Gemini 3.5 Flash, which it billed as its best model yet for coding.
Another new model, Gemini Omni, can be used to “create anything from any input,” Google said. With Omni, users can generate videos from prompts including images, audio, video and text, Google said. It can also be used to edit video using simple, conversational language. Google said it will eventually expand the product to generate images and audio.
With the rise of AI-generated video, Google will also expand its labeling of deepfakes. Pichai, after showing an image of himself dining with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk, said: “It’s obviously fake. I don’t eat hamburgers. ” Google has been able to grow its search advertising revenue while adjusting the product into more of a chatbot experience, in a bid to compete with OpenAI and Anthropic PBC.
The search giant is under pressure to keep up the momentum, and is planning a suite of product announcements.
