What You Missed at Google I/O 2025: AI Breakthroughs and Wearable Tech
Google demonstrated remarkable new technologies in AI, search, communication and wearables at Google I/O 2025, highlighting how the company wants to move forward using intelligent, multimodal and agentic AI.
1. Gemini 2.5 Enhancements:
The Gemini 2.5 Pro and Flash models have both been upgraded. The new Deep Think tool, found in Gemini 2.5 Pro, directs the AI to explore and weigh up several possibilities before giving an answer. Only a quarter to a third as many tokens are needed for Flash. Now, both services can receive audio-visual data and offer custom voice output, using the Live API.
2. Gemini as a Universal Assistant:
Gemini, the assistant from Google, is being updated to understand the world and situations around users. The technology used in Project Astra enables Gemini Live to support instant conversations over video. Project Mariner which runs in your browser, is capable of handling 10 different tasks at once, like researching and arranging flights. Early access will go to Google AI Ultra subscribers.
3. Google AI Subscription Services:
Two new paid tiers—AI Pro and AI Ultra—gather all of Google’s advanced AI tools. Ultra, which costs $250 a month and half that for three, gives you the most limits and early access to Mariner, Veo 3 and Agent Mode. People can accomplish live browsing and instant research by working on their desktops.
4. Next-Level Creator Tools:
You will find upgraded versions of our video, image and filmmaking generative models. The new update of Veo 3 brings features such as ambient sound and dialogue into its audio prompts. Imagen 4 is able to produce sharp images in up to 2K quality. On Flow, you can easily manage camera angles and the backgrounds you use during filming.
5. Search Reinvented with AI Mode:
Now, Deep Search in AI Mode helps Google Search produce detailed reports from hundreds of requests at once. Multimodal queries with Project Astra are available to users, for example, by having them use their camera to seek answers. You can now try things on virtually, see recommended items and shop from curated products offered by agentic AI—even so, every purchase is still made manually. There are now AI Overviews for more than 200 locations around the world in over 40 languages.
6. Gmail and Workspace AI Upgrades:
Gmail uses its intelligence to offer smart answers, clean up your inbox by sender/date and suggest meeting times based on what is in the email. Users on Pro/Ultra plans in Google Meet will enjoy near instant speech translation. Google Docs now includes support for AI writing, making sure the AI uses only information from links assigned by the author.
7. Project Starline Becomes Google Beam:
Now called Google Beam, the project makes 2D video calls feel real by turning them into 3D experiences. It includes simple ways of moving, smiling and maintaining eye contact for real-seeming talks. Together with HP, Google intends to introduce Beam-powered devices to companies.
8. Android XR Glasses Preview:
At the event, Google debuted Android XR smart glasses with built-in displays which respond to verbal commands and feature both a camera and microphone to make voice, navigation and photo functions possible. You can expect to have trendy glasses with brands such as Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. A launch for the full game is planned before the end of 2022.
Conclusion:
AI became a central focus for Google at I/O in 2025, highlighted by updates to Search, productivity and the company’s foray into ambient computing with smart glasses. Harnessing powerful tools, multimodal features and creative platforms, Google hopes to lead the next development of digital intelligence and how users interact.
