Announced May 19, the update demos micro apps like weekend planners.
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!
🙌 democratize software! 🚀
🙌 democratize apps and agents! 🚀

Gemini being permanently integrated into the search box starting today.
Agentic coding via antigravity is being incorporated into the search box and will write code live to answer your questions. Interactive displays to answer specific questions.

Today at Google I/O, we introduced Gemini 3.5 Flash! It has become an integral part of our daily research cycle and works with all the tools we have at Google. We used a team of agents in Antigravity 2.0 to recreate the original AlphaZero research paper and build a playable version. They coded the reinforcement learning pipeline in JAX/Flax, trained a ResNet model from scratch via self-play on multi-TPU pods, and shipped a full-stack web app so you can play against it, from just 2 prompts. . Here’s what else makes 3.5 Flash special 🧵

Most people don't understand the magnitude of the human intent for information seeking and how much users rely on Search. It's an unsolved problem for decades - LLMs are helping us make fast progress - into creating a search - which we always wanted all along.

Can we talk about how well @Google has responded to the "ChatGPT threat" with AI overviews in Google Search? So many people wrote them off but I find myself using Google Search just as much as before for general queries and even some of my ChatGPT or Claude queries have moved there. AI Overviews and AI Mode has improved markedly over the past year. Excited for the new Agentic Search stuff they're announcing here at #googleio!
Now you can build micro apps right inside Google Search AI Mode!

Just sat down with @rmstein , Vice President of Product at @Google Search, to talk about AI Mode, the future of Search, and how generative AI is reshaping the way people discover information.
Super insightful conversation.
Video coming soon.
