The big keynote by Google at I/O 2025 is now over. As expected, there were many announcements related to AI, ranging from updates to Google's image and video generation models to new features in Search and Gmail.
However, there were also some surprises, such as a new AI filmmaking application and an update to Project Starline. In the roundup below, you can find everything you missed if you missed the live event.
Google’s AI Mode for Search is coming to everyone
Google has announced that it is rolling out AI Mode, a new tab that allows you to search the web using the company's Gemini AI chatbot, to all users in the US starting this week.
Deep search and a way to generate charts for finance and sports queries are among the new features being tested by Google in AI Mode this summer. It will also be possible to shop in AI Mode in the coming months.
Project Starline is now Google Beam
Project Starline, which began as a 3D video chat booth, is making significant progress. Google Beam is becoming a reality and will soon be introduced in an HP-branded device that has a light field display and six cameras to create a 3D image of the person you're talking to on a video call.
Companies like Deloitte, Duolingo, and Salesforce have already said that they will add HP’s Google Beam devices to their offices.
Imagen and Veo are getting some big upgrades
Google has announced Imagen 4, the latest version of its AI text-to-image generator, which the company says is better at generating text and offers the ability to export images in more formats, such as square and landscape. Its next-gen AI video generator, Veo 3, will let you generate video and sound together, while Veo 2 now comes with tools like camera controls and object removal.
Google launches an AI filmmaking app
Along with updating its AI models, Google is introducing a new AI filmmaking app called Flow. The tool uses Veo, Imagen, and Gemini to create eight-second AI-generated video clips based on text prompts and / or images. It also comes with scene-builder tools to stitch clips together and create longer AI videos.
Gemini 2.5 Pro adds an “enhanced” reasoning mode
The experimental Deep Think mode is meant for complex queries related to math and coding. It’s capable of considering “multiple hypotheses before responding” and will only be available to trusted testers first.
Google has also made its Gemini 2.5 Flash model available to everyone on its Gemini app and is bringing improvements to the cost-efficient model in Google AI Studio ahead of a wider rollout.
Xreal shows off its Project Aura prototype
Xreal and Google are teaming up on Project Aura, a new pair of smart glasses that use the Android XR platform for mixed-reality devices. We don’t know much about the glasses just yet, but they’ll come with Gemini integration and a large field-of-view, along with what appears to be built-in cameras and microphones.
Google is also partnering with Samsung, Gentle Monster, and Warby Parker to create other Android XR smart glasses, as well.
