Product Update

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.

Google has deployed a new update to Google Home that accelerates Gemini voice command processing, particularly for timers and alarms. The update extends Gemini's 'Ask Home' feature to voice commands, allowing users to query camera history and family member locations via smart speakers and displays.

AWS announced OS Level Actions for Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Browser, extending agent automation beyond the browser's Document Object Model to interact with native operating system UI. The feature enables agents to control system dialogs, security prompts, and context menus through direct mouse and keyboard commands at the OS level.

Google is testing 'Ask YouTube,' an AI-powered conversational search interface that generates text summaries and organizes video results. The feature is currently available only to YouTube Premium subscribers in the US who are 18 or older.

OpenAI released ChatGPT Images 2.0, powered by the new GPT Image 2 model. The update enables web search integration for paid subscribers in thinking mode, generates up to eight images from a single prompt while maintaining visual consistency, and supports 2K resolution output.

Google is rolling out Personal Intelligence to Gemini users globally, excluding the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and UK. The opt-in feature accesses data from Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Google Photos, YouTube, Maps, and other first-party apps to provide contextual responses without additional prompting.

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime now offers managed session storage to persist agent filesystem state across stop/resume cycles and InvokeAgentRuntimeCommand for executing shell commands directly within agent microVMs. The features address two core challenges in production agent workflows: ephemeral filesystems that reset between sessions and the inability to execute deterministic operations without routing them through LLMs.
