Gemini is becoming a more helpful AI assistant, with an intuitive new UI, proactive daily briefs and Gemini Spark, an agent to help you get things done around the clock.
Your browser does not support the audio element.
It’s been a banner year for the Gemini app. Last year at Google I/O, Gemini was serving 400 million users. Today, more than 900 million people across 230 countries and more than 70 languages turn to Gemini for help every month.
In time for Google I/O 2026, here’s what’s new:
We’ve redesigned the entire Gemini experience from the ground up, introducing a stunning new design language we call Neural Expressive. The interface now features fluid animations, vibrant colors, new typography and haptic feedback.
We’ve also integrated the Gemini Live conversational experience directly into Gemini. Now, you can seamlessly switch from typing a quick question to diving deep into a free-flowing conversation — and back again — without missing a beat. We also re-engineered the mic so you can tap and talk through a complex idea at your own pace without getting cut off mid-thought. And soon, we’ll start offering regional dialects, allowing you to choose a voice that truly resonates with you.
Finally, we’re using the power of our Gemini models to make responses more engaging and easier to understand. Instead of throwing a wall of text at you, Gemini now designs tailored responses in real time — incorporating rich imagery, interactive timelines, narrated videos and dynamic graphics.
Neural Expressive is rolling out globally today across the web, Android and iOS for everyone.
To unlock your creative potential, we’re introducing Gemini Omni, a model designed to turn your imagination into reality. By seamlessly combining text, images and video inputs, Gemini Omni allows you to generate stunning, high-quality video outputs effortlessly.
With Gemini Omni, video editing becomes a fluid, natural conversation. You can apply cinematic zooms or swap out backgrounds with a simple prompt. Just upload footage from your camera roll, apply built-in templates with a single tap and create polished content without expensive equipment or specialized technical jargon. You can even drop yourself directly into the action by creating a custom AI avatar that looks and sounds exactly like you.
Gemini Omni begins rolling out today to Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra subscribers worldwide. 1
We’re introducing Daily Brief, an agent that gives you a personalized morning digest that’s designed to be your first stop every day. Built on the success of our recent Google Labs experiment CC, Daily Brief gives you a seamless, intuitive entry point into the world of AI agents.
Once you opt in, Gemini works across your connected apps in the background. It gathers urgent updates from your Gmail inbox, tracks upcoming events from your Calendar and compiles relevant follow-up details into a skimmable briefing.
It goes far beyond a simple summary. Daily Brief actively organizes and prioritizes based on your specific goals, even suggesting immediate next steps. You can easily steer it by giving responses a quick thumbs up or down over time.
Daily Brief begins rolling out today to Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra subscribers, starting in the U.S.
We’re also introducing Gemini Spark, a 24/7 personal AI agent that helps you navigate your digital life. Spark represents a big shift for Gemini, transforming it from an assistant that can answer your questions into an active partner that does real work on your behalf and under your direction.
Gemini Spark runs on Gemini 3.5 and uses the Antigravity harness. It’s deeply integrated with the Workspace tools you rely on daily, like Gmail, Docs, Slides and more. Even better, because it is a cloud-based agent, Spark keeps working in the background even when you close your laptop or lock your phone. That combination means Spark is ready to take complex tasks off your plate so you can be more present for what matters most.
With Gemini Spark, you can:
This is just the beginning. We’ve got a packed roadmap of features shipping over the summer. We’re expanding our list of Gemini connected apps with new MCP connections to Canva, OpenTable and Instacart launching today, and a full list of more partners are integrating now. In the coming weeks, Spark will be able to use these MCP connections to get things done for you. We’ll also be adding new abilities, including texting and emailing Spark, creating custom sub-agents and operating your local browser.
Spark operates under your direction. You choose whether to turn it on and what apps it connects to, and it’s designed to ask you first before performing high-stakes actions like spending money or sending emails.
Gemini Spark will roll out to trusted testers this week, and we’re planning to roll it out as a Beta for U.S. Google AI Ultra subscribers next week.
We’re working on big updates to the Gemini app for macOS. We’ll be bringing Gemini Spark to the Gemini desktop app this summer so it can help with tasks involving your local files and automate workflows across your desktop.
We’re also innovating on new voice experiences in the macOS app, similar to what we previewed at The Android Show. You won’t have to worry about all the “ums” or “what abouts” that happen as you think aloud. Using the context from your screen, Gemini can turn your free-flowing speech into precise drafts, instantly reformatting the text to capture your intent, right where your cursor is.
The macOS app is available to download today for all users, with Gemini Spark and the new voice features will roll out later this summer.
All of today’s updates get us closer to our vision of a truly universal assistant that’s personal, proactive and powerful. So whether you’re a busy student, parent or small business owner, we look forward to what you can do with Gemini.
