Google Annual I/O conference 2025 and updates you can't miss
Google released a lot of updates at its annual I/O conference.
One of them, which has been a success, is 3D video conferencing (it reminds me a bit of the era when 3D movies were a big boom in 2009). So I assume that we may soon see 4D and 5D experiences. 😅
In any case, I found the real-time video call interpretation/translation feature much more useful.
Other things that Google improved:
🛍️ Shopping & E-commerce
AI mode for shopping: Visual, personalised product browsing with smart filtering.
Agentic checkout: Auto-purchase when the price drops to your preferred level.
Virtual try-on: AI overlays clothes on user photos for realistic previews.
🧑💻 Avatars & Devices
AI avatars: Digital presenters for shopping or streaming.
AR glasses: Developed with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker.
🧠 AI Tools & Creation
File-based generation: Create reports/infographics from Drive/Gmail files.
Imagen 4 & Veo 3: Enhanced image and video generation tools.
Flow: Tool for creating AI-generated films using Google's media tools.
🔍 Search
AI mode in search: Handles complex, multi-step queries.
Deep search: Generates expert-level, fully-cited reports using hundreds of queries.
Multimodal search: Interactive search using your camera and voice in real-time.
🗣️ Communication & Video
Real-time speech translation in Google Meet: Translates and mimics tone/voice.
Google Beam: 3D video chat using AI and multiple cameras for immersive calls.
Which of these features will you definitely give a try?
My attention was grabbed predominantly by Flow (for AI videos), tho not available in my country; Virtual Try-on; File-Based Generation and Real-Time Speech Translation in Google Meet.
