Google has unveiled autonomous AI agents and coding tools within its search engine, alongside a new line of smart glasses, as it overhauls its core product under pressure from rivals Anthropic and OpenAI.
The changes to Google search will be powered by a new Gemini 3.5 flash model. Chief executive Sundar Pichai said the model was “a major leap forwards in building more capable, intelligent agents”, AI tools that can independently perform tasks based on user instruction.
“We’ve been bringing agents to developers and enterprises for a while,” he told Google’s annual I/O conference in Mountain View, California, on Tuesday. “Now we are super focused on bringing the power of agents to consumers so that it works for everyone.”
