100 things we announced at Google I/O 2026

100 things we announced at Google I/O 2026

AI inbox

68. Earlier this year, we introduced AI Inbox as a new view in Gmail that intelligently displays what matters most. It helps you prioritize your tasks and provides updates on what’s important. It’s currently available to Google AI Ultra subscribers, and we’re starting to roll it out to all Google AI Plus and Pro subscribers in the US

69. AI Inbox now generates personalized draft replies based on contextual information so you can review and reply in seconds.

70. From now on in the AI ​​inbox, if a task requires reviewing a Google Doc, Sheet or Slide, the relevant link will appear right next to your task.

71. We announced several ways to streamline your task management in the AI ​​inbox. Keep your view uncluttered by marking individual tasks as done, rejecting inappropriate suggestions, or marking all emails in a given subject as read with a single click.

72. Starting this summer, Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers will be able to speak to your inbox with Gmail Live—asking specific queries without having to dig through threads.

Google images

73. Introducing Google Pics, our new photo creation and editing tool, built on our latest Nano Banana model, that helps you create just about anything—from party flyers to infographics with the creative controls you want. Whether you’re building a design from a blank canvas or editing an existing photo, Pics takes the hassle out of complex image generation. The new tool includes features including object segmentation (so you can select and edit specific elements with precision), text editing and translation, and integrations with Workspace.

74. Google Pics is rolling out today to a limited group of trusted testers. This summer, it will launch globally for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers and as a preview for Google Workspace enterprise customers.

Docs Live and Talk to Keep

75. Docs Live is a new feature that lets you create documents and edit them with your voice. Just talk and Docs Live will do the heavy lifting – organizing your thoughts, structuring your document and, with your permission, pulling relevant details from your Gmail, Drive, Chat and the web. Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers will be able to talk to Docs starting this summer.

76. You’ll soon be able to “brain dump” with Keep. Not only does Keep understand your ramblings, it will work in the background, turning your stream of thoughts into organized notes and lists at the speed of your voice. This feature will launch this summer for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers and as a preview for Google Workspace business customers.

Google Flow

77. At last year’s I/O stage, we introduced Google Flow. Since then, we’ve expanded Flow into a creative AI studio with new capabilities in video and image generation and editing, launching in over 140 countries around the world. Gemini Omni Flash is now available in Google Flow for Google AI subscribers globally.

78. For creatives using Google Flow, Gemini Omni Flash lets you mix real-world inspiration with generated content and repeat conversation. Gemini Omni Flash also improves character consistency, meaning identity and voice are preserved across every scene.

79. We also introduce the Google Flow Agent. Until today, Flow could only execute one prompt at a time. Now your agent can take on tasks in multiple steps. Your agent in Google Flow is your creative partner who can plan and reason through complex tasks with your input, under your control.

80. Built with Gemini models, Google Flow Agent brings expertise and a deep understanding of your project to help with early brainstorming, creation and editing. For example, the agent can be a sounding board for dialogue between characters in a specific scene or even make plot recommendations. When you’re deeper into a project, your agent can help create multiple variations at once to give you more options and even batch editing so your tweaks are reflected across all your assets. Once you have your assets, your agent can organize them into collections, and it can even intuitively rename them. Google Flow Agent is now available to all Google Flow users globally.

81. We are also introducing Google Flow Tools. Now you can vibe code any creative tool you can think of right in Google Flow, custom-built by you for your unique creative process—like designing video effects, hand-drawn animations, or layering text.

82. You can use natural language to create customized tools and workflows in Google Flow. Whether you’re looking for a specific image editor, video resizer, or custom shaders, you can now easily develop them, no coding experience required. And if you make something you think others might like, you can easily share your tool with other Flow users, who can remix it into their own. All Google Flow users globally can use existing tools, while Google AI subscribers can also create and remix them.

Google Flow Music, Pomelli and Stitch

83. With Google Flow Music, you can also use Gemini Omni to work in conversation with the agent to direct shareable music videos. New refinement features allow you to edit specific parts of your song with increased granularity. For example, you can change a section of lyrics to a different language, change the genre, adjust the instruments, or tweak almost anything else you can imagine.

84. Pomelli adds new ways to build brand content and design websites.

85. With real-time design and control, designing with Stitch is now a more natural and intuitive collaboration. Now you can describe what you want through text or say it out loud, and Stitch works with you to expand and reshape your ideas. You can also import existing codebase and design files, ensuring your builds are on-brand.
