Google’s keynote description is vague: “Discover how we can further organize world information and make it universally accessible and useful.”
AI
However, given the announcements have been issued this year, we expect artificial intelligence (AI) to be the focus of the activity. In last year’s I/O, AI was also the crown jewelry of the event and provided many AI-related announcements, including Gemini 1.5 Flash, VEO, VEO, Imagen 3, and updates to Google’s mobile platform Android.
This year, you can expect the same trend, including a range of Google’s tool suites, including updates to Gemini, Google Workspace, Google Search, and even new large language models.
Android 16
Google has already held Android Show: I/O Version A week before the event, revealing many Android 16 upgrades. However, there may be more news for the event.
Plus: Your Android device is undergoing a major Gemini upgrade – including cars and watches
Agent
AI proxy is the hottest topic in technology, and we hope Google can add more to its current lineup of proxy features. The current roster includes its Google Deep Research feature that can search the web for you and compile the results into detailed reports, as well as Gems, Google’s custom AI proxy.
A report on information proposed by Google is looking at AI agents to help software engineers go through the entire development process.
Also: Google Workspace has many new AI features. Here’s how they can help your daily workflow
XR headphones
Google may introduce us to its highly anticipated XR headsets and develop them in partnership with Samsung. The information report also said that Google will demonstrate the integration of Gemini AI with glasses and headphones.
Also: This is the Android XR headset released by Google and Samsung in 2025, and it is also the software that powers it.
surprise
If Google follows last year’s precedent, it will stop hardware announcements. However, Google I/O is notorious for causing surprises, so expecting something no one talks about is a good rule of thumb.
