A full breakdown of everything announced at Google I/O 2025

🧑‍💼 1. Beam: 3D video calls that actually feel in-person

Google introduced Beam, its long-awaited 3D video calling system that brings a new level of realism to virtual meetings.

• Beam creates life-sized 3D images of people capturing body language, expressions, and even eye contact

• You don’t need a headset or special glasses, just a screen that feels like a window into the other person’s space

• It’s built on Google Cloud and will work with Google Meet, Zoom, and other major platforms

• The first Beam devices, made in partnership with HP, will launch later this year

• Companies like Deloitte, NEC, Duolingo, and Salesforce are already testing it

• Beam also includes real-time speech translation keeping your voice, just in a different language

Google isn’t just improving video calls. It’s changing what they feel like.

🤖 2. Gemini Live: AI that understands what your phone sees

Gemini Live is now available globally and it takes Google's AI assistant to the next level.

• You can point your phone at anything: a book, a plant, a street sign and Gemini will tell you what it sees

• It’s more than just object recognition. Gemini can explain, suggest, and help in real-time

• This builds on Project Astra, which was first shown last year as a glimpse of AI that sees and responds

• Available for both Android and iPhone users starting today via the Gemini app

It’s like having a second brain, but one that looks through your camera and speaks in full sentences.

🔍 3. Search enters ‘AI Mode’ and this changes everything

Google Search is no longer just a list of links. It’s becoming a full conversation.

• The new AI Mode lets you ask a question and get a direct, full answer

• You can also ask follow-ups and the AI keeps the context

• Visual tools can help you understand charts, summarize content, or generate custom graphics

• Over time, results will become more personalized, drawing from your Gmail, search history, and even calendar

• Rolling out in the U.S. this week, inside both Search and Chrome

This is the beginning of a more intuitive, natural way to interact with information.

👓 4. Android XR: A new OS for smart wearables

Google introduced Android XR, a new operating system built specifically for headsets and smart glasses.

• It’s designed for immersive, AI-driven experiences powered by Gemini

• During the demo, Google showed glasses that could send messages, offer live navigation, schedule tasks, and translate speech in real-time

• Live subtitles appeared during multilingual conversations making face-to-face communication easier in any language

• The system shares the user’s point of view and responds accordingly in real time

This is Google's foundation for a future where wearable tech blends seamlessly into daily life.

🎨 5. Imagen 4 and Veo 3: New AI tools for creatives

Google also launched two new models aimed at content creators: Imagen 4 for images and Veo 3 for video.

• Imagen 4 creates cleaner, sharper visuals from text prompts including accurate fonts and spelling

• Veo 3 generates short video clips with background sounds, dialogue, and accurate lip-sync

• It understands storytelling too. You can describe a scene, and the model builds it from scratch

• Imagen is available now in the Gemini app

• Veo 3 is available to Ultra users and businesses through Vertex AI

These tools bring the idea-to-asset pipeline down to minutes (no design or editing experience needed.)

📧 6. Gmail gets more human with personalized smart replies

Google is adding a new layer of personalization to its core apps, starting with Gmail.

• The upcoming Personalised Smart Replies will draft responses that sound like you

• They consider your tone, the context of the email, and your typical writing style

• The goal is to save time while still keeping replies natural and thoughtful

• This feature will roll out to paid users later this year

It’s a small detail but one that helps AI feel like an actual assistant, not just a tool.
