Google AI Mode now supports searching previous chat conversations on Android and iOS devices. The update also brings file upload capability to the iPhone app, matching features already available on the web version.

Google has started rolling out information agents, the first type of Search agents announced at I/O 2026, exclusively for AI Ultra subscribers. The feature monitors blogs, news, social media, and real-time data sources 24/7 to deliver synthesized updates when conditions match user-specified queries.

Google is making AI Mode Pro's interactive visual generation capabilities available to all users for free through summer 2026, coinciding with the FIFA World Cup. The company is also adding real-time match tracking, tactical diagrams, and enhanced Gemini features for soccer fans.

Google is expanding NotebookLM's video generation capabilities with Cinematic Video Overviews, which produce styled visual narratives beyond simple slide presentations. The update also includes upgrades to Canvas in AI Mode, enhancing the tool's ability to synthesize and present document insights.

Google has integrated a full AI Mode prompt box directly into Chrome's address bar, expanding its AI assistant capabilities in the desktop browser. This follows the company's January 2026 Gemini integration update for Chrome's side panel.
