Google I/O

Google announced Gemini Spark, a cloud-based AI agent that runs 24/7 across Gmail, Drive, and 30+ external partners, powered by the upcoming Gemini 3.5 Flash model. The company claims the new model is four times faster and costs less than half of competing frontier models, directly responding to OpenClaw's viral success since November 2025.

Google announced Ask Play, a Gemini-powered chatbot overlay for the Play Store designed for app discovery. The company is also integrating Gemini app and game recommendations across Android and web, with plans to expand to 450,000 movie and TV show recommendations later this year.

Google announced information agents at I/O 2025, AI systems that run continuously in the background to track topics like stock prices, flight costs, and breaking news. The feature launches this summer for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the U.S., expanding to additional markets later.
