Here’s everything you need to know about the next era of AI Search in 60 seconds! 👇

[Ishan Sharma @Ishansharma7390]

Agentic coding is now built into Google search.

Builds interactive experiences and apps for your query to help you learn anything better.

[Logan Kilpatrick @OfficialLoganK]

Today we are starting to roll out the biggest upgrade to the Google Search box in over 25 years — now completely reimagined with AI, along with Gemini 3.5 Flash as the new default model for AI mode users globally!

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

On our way to I/O 2026. See you at 10am PT tomorrow!

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

Hello. How are you? Thank you. I love you. Please.

Some of the most frequently translated phrases of the past 20 years!

Google Translate began twenty years ago with a mission to help people understand one another, regardless of the language they speak. What started as a small experiment has become a global tool that helps over 1 billion users every month.

In that time Translate has evolved from simple pattern matching to true understanding. In 2006, it relied on statistical machine learning to look for patterns in small word clusters. By 2016, we pioneered a shift to neural networks to move beyond literal word-for-word translations, and today we’re using our powerful Gemini models to make Translate even more helpful.

We are moving from text to fluid, real-time conversations. With our latest models, you can even use your headphones as a personal interpreter that preserves your original tone and cadence - it’s an amazing experience!

One of the interesting things about AI is that as we make progress, we begin to take it for granted. If you met a person who could translate across a hundred languages faster than any human can, you would be so impressed. Today, one product does that for nearly 250 languages, and we kind of just shrug.

Being able to say thank you in 250 languages is not something I take for granted. So to the 1 billion who use Google Translate - merci, dhanyavaad, arigatō, gracias, and thank you! Let’s see what the next 20 years will bring.

"When [Sundar] Pichai says he’s taking a decade-long view of where the technology is going, it’s not just a platitude. That universal assistant he wrote about in that 2016 shareholder letter? Google is on the cusp of creating it" — @FastCompany’s new cover story on Google and AI. https://t.co/mOO17KvMsk

Big update coming to Circle to Search today! Introducing multi-object image recognition.📱

This next-gen Circle to Search experience is made possible by Gemini 3’s agentic planning, reasoning and tool capabilities, which enhances our visual query fan-out technique. This means the model now plans and executes multiple image searches simultaneously, identifying every item in an image at once and sharing helpful links to the web – so you can understand the entire scene in one go.

(1/2) Personal Intelligence just landed in AI Mode – unlocking a Google Search experience that really *gets* you. Starting with subscribers, if you opt in to connecting Search to apps like Gmail and Google Photos, you can get responses that are uniquely helpful and tailored to you.

I’ve been testing this out a ton and I’m genuinely impressed at how intuitive it’s been. AI Mode is not just searching, it’s helping connect the dots across my interests and preferences. For eg: it found family activities that slot perfectly into my travel plans – and even uncovered items that match my specific style... (like nailing it with recommending new shoes! 👟)

[Robby Stein @rmstein]

1/2 Gemini 3 Flash is here ⚡⚡⚡ Starting today, we’re rolling it out globally in Search as the default model in AI Mode (https://t.co/A8TXWrRVsg).

3 Flash brings the sophisticated reasoning capabilities of Gemini 3 to Search, without compromising speed. This means AI Mode better interprets your toughest, multi-layered questions – considering each of your constraints or requirements – and provides a visually digestible response with helpful links to explore further.

(1/5) Gemini 3, our most intelligent model, is landing in Google Search today – starting with AI Mode. Excited that this is the first time we’re shipping a new Gemini model in Search on day one! 🚀

In Search, Gemini 3 with generative layouts will make it easy to get a rich understanding of anything on your mind. It has state-of-the-art reasoning, deep multimodal understanding and advanced agentic capabilities. That allows the model to shine when you ask it to explain advanced concepts or ideas – it reasons and can code interactive visuals in real-time. It can tackle your toughest questions like advanced science.

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

Thank you to our employees and partners around the world for the terrific quarter!
