Forget Android, Pixel devices, Google Photos, and Maps—none of these staples made an appearance. Instead, the two-hour event was entirely dedicated to Gemini, Veo, Flow, Beam, Astra, Imagen, and other cutting-edge AI tools designed to reshape how we interact with technology.
With so much to unpack, we’ve compiled the biggest announcements from Google’s AI-powered showcase. Here’s everything you need to know.
1. Google Search Gets an AI Overhaul
In the ChatGPT era, “Googling” is no longer the default. To stay competitive, Google has officially launched AI Mode for Search in the U.S., expanding beyond its experimental phase.
Inside this new AI-powered search experience:
- Deep Search – Handles complex research queries with deeper analysis.
- AI Ticket Buying Assistant – Powered by Project Mariner, this tool assists users in securing event tickets more efficiently.
- AI Overviews – Though responses have been mixed, the feature is being expanded to more users.
Google Search is evolving—expect a smarter, more conversational experience.
2. AI-Powered Shopping Just Got Smarter
Online shopping can be overwhelming, but Google’s AI Mode for Search now includes an intelligent shopping assistant. Simply type prompts like “I’m looking for a cute purse”, and it curates product suggestions with images.
Key Features:
- Virtual Try-On – Upload a photo, and Google’s Shopping Graph + Gemini AI lets you see how clothes look on you. (Currently in Labs, U.S.-only.)
- Agentic Checkout – Automates purchases using Google Pay, with price-tracking to buy only when the cost is right.
3. Beam: The Future of 3D Video Calls
Tired of flat video calls? Google Beam (formerly Project Starline) brings lifelike 3D video calls without VR headsets.
How It Works:
- Uses advanced cameras, mics, and AI to create immersive calls.
- Requires custom booths (initially for businesses, launching via HP in late 2025).
Could this be the end of traditional video conferencing?
4. Veo 3: Next-Gen AI Video & Audio Generation
AI video tools like Sora and Pika are impressive, but Google Veo 3 takes it further by syncing AI-generated video with audio—including realistic dialogue.
Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis stated, “We’re coming out of the silent era of AI-generated video.”
5. Gemini Live: Free AI Assistant for Android & iOS
Gemini Live, Google’s AI-powered voice assistant, is now available for free on both Android and iOS.
New Features:
- Natural language conversations
- Camera-based object recognition
- Screen & camera sharing (now extended to iPhone users)
Rolling out today, with iOS support coming soon.
6. Flow: AI Filmmaking Tool for Directors
Aspiring filmmakers, say hello to Google Flow—an AI-driven tool that creates movie scenes, characters, and assets from text prompts.
Example: Type “Doctors performing surgery in a 1970s taxi”, and Flow + Veo 3 creates a hyper-realistic clip.
Currently for Google AI Pro & Ultra subscribers (U.S. only), this could revolutionize pre-visualization in filmmaking.
7. Imagen 4: Ultra-HD AI Image Generation
Google’s Imagen 4 boosts Gemini’s image generation with:
- 2K resolution (ideal for prints & cropping)
- Sharper details (fabrics, water droplets, fur)
- Better text & typography—finally solving AI’s spelling struggles.
Available now—expect a flood of even higher-quality AI memes.
8. Gemini 2.5 Pro’s ‘Deep Think’ Mode
Gemini’s latest upgrade introduces Deep Think Mode, where the AI analyzes multiple reasoning paths before answering complex queries.
