"Google showcased a variety of new ways AI will be integrated even more deeply across its widely used family of products, from search and email to productivity software and smart glasses."
"In a very visible sign of how important AI has become to the $4.7 trillion company, Google said it was redesigning the iconic search box that sits at the center of its sparse, all-white homepage. The company is enlarging the dimensions of the search box to better accommodate the natural language queries that users can now make with AI."
"Users will also now be able to enlist AI agents for complex, ongoing research projects via the search box, ordering up custom reports for anything from apartment hunting to financial news."
"Pichai touted the dizzying amounts of money the company is spending to build AI infrastructure and the massive consumption of AI “tokens”-the basic unit of AI data processing-being gobbled up by customers. Google now processes 3.2 quadrillion tokens per month, Pichai said, up from 480 trillion monthly tokens a year ago."
Google’s developer conference focused heavily on AI integration across products including search, email, productivity software, and smart glasses. Sundar Pichai opened the event by describing AI’s benefits for students and creative work as the world moves into an “agentic AI era.” Google announced a redesign of the search box to better handle natural-language queries and to let users enlist AI agents for complex, ongoing research projects. Users can request custom reports for tasks such as apartment hunting and financial news. Pichai highlighted major spending on AI infrastructure and rapid growth in AI token processing, citing 3.2 quadrillion tokens per month, up from 480 trillion monthly tokens a year earlier.
