Google launches Gemini 3.5 models, Gemini Omni video generation, and AI agents across Search, Gmail, and Android at I/O 2026

Google released Gemini 3.5 Flash as the default model for the Gemini app and AI Mode in Search, with Gemini 3.5 Pro following next month. The company also introduced Gemini Omni Flash, which generates video from text, photos, video, and audio inputs and rolls out today in the Gemini app, Google Flow, and YouTube Shorts.

Gemini Spark, an always-on AI agent powered by Gemini 3.5 Flash, runs 24/7 on Google Cloud and connects to Google Workspace apps (Docs, Gmail, Sheets, Slides) and third-party services (Canva, Instacart) to write emails, create study guides, and flag hidden credit card fees. Users can vibe-code entire native Android apps in AI Studio and publish them to the Play Store.

Google is introducing a Universal Cart that aggregates products from YouTube, Search, Gemini, and Gmail across merchants including Nike, Target, Walmart, Ulta Beauty, Sephora, Wayfair, and Shopify, launching in Search and Gemini this summer. Gmail is gaining Gemini Live voice search, while Search is expanding with information agents, generative UI, and mini apps, launching this summer for AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.

Google cut the price of AI Ultra from $249.99 per month to $100 per month, with a $200 per month option that includes access to Project Genie. Two new audio-only Android XR smart glasses from Warby Parker and Gentle Monster are launching this fall, featuring live translation and navigation assistance with Gemini.
