Apple unveiled Siri AI at WWDC 2026, a rebuilt version of its assistant powered by Apple Intelligence and enhanced with Google Gemini. The company confirmed daily usage limits for features like image generation, with increased access requiring iCloud+ subscriptions. Siri AI won't launch in China and faces EU restrictions.

Google is rolling out a new "Thinking level" option in the Gemini app, allowing users to toggle between Standard and Extended modes when using Gemini 3 Flash or Gemini 3.1 Pro. The app is also preparing integrations with Canva, Instacart, and OpenTable, expanding beyond its current third-party connections.

Apple confirmed in January 2026 that Google's Gemini AI models will power new Siri features, ending speculation about the company's AI assistant strategy. The integration will bring personal intelligence features that pull information from Apple apps like Mail, Calendar, Photos, and Notes, along with task automation and improved voice input.

Google has redesigned AI Mode's prompt interface with a bottom sheet layout on mobile and expanded its agentic restaurant booking feature to 8 new markets including the UK, Canada, and Australia. The update rolls out to stable channel on Android and iOS.

Google Gemini can now generate interactive visualizations directly within the chat interface, allowing users to tweak variables, rotate 3D models, and explore data in real time. The feature activates through phrases like "show me" or "help me visualize" when using the Gemini Pro model. This follows Anthropic's Claude launch of similar interactive diagram capabilities in mid-March.

Google has launched a memory import feature for Gemini that lets users transfer their chat history, memories, and preferences from competing AI services like ChatGPT and Claude. The feature works by exporting conversation data and personal context from your existing AI service, then importing it into Gemini to enable faster personalization.

Opera has rolled out an update to Opera One that allows users to pin Google Gemini to the browser sidebar, eliminating the need to switch tabs when accessing the AI assistant. The update also adds Google Translate to the sidebar and expands split-screen functionality from two to four tabs.
