Just a couple of days back, I wrote how Microsoft made some crazy announcements at the Microsoft Build 2025. Well, Google has one-upped them. In fact, it looks like Google has surpassed all the competition.

With the Google I/O 2025, the company has announced itself as a leader in all things AI while strengthening its already dominant core offerings like Google Search.

I went through all of the announcements and picked the most interesting ones for you:

• Gemini Pro 2.5 Deep Think and Gemini 2.5 Flash: New models from Google that push all other models down in the benchmark charts. Even the cheaper and faster Flash model is better than previous leader, OpenAI’s o3. I have been using Gemini Pro 2.5, it is really good.

• Stitch: A tool to design UIs with just prompts, provide code, or export them as Figma designs. I tried Stitch briefly and I didn’t find it too crazy.

• Jules: An async agentic coding agent. It’s basically slow so it’ll send you a notification when it’s done with a task. You can connect it to GitHub and it is available to everyone, no waitlist. Try it here.

• Imagen 4, Veo 3, and Flow: You must have seen this already. Google’s latest video generation model is amazing. Examples:

Google also launched a tool called Flow that aims at Hollywood-level video creation and editing. It is available exclusively too Google Pro and Google Ultra subscribers (more on the subscriptions below).

• Gemma 3n: Open models (that can be used and sold by anyone) that are almost as good as Claude Sonnet 3.7 and better than GPT-4.1.

• AI in Search: Now that the Gemini models are good, Google has decided to use it everywhere (fair enough). Soon, you’ll have the AI mode in Google Search (just like Perplexity) and complete operations done by AI in the Chrome browser (OpenAI’s Operator is an early example). You can also just click a picture or make a video with the Gemini app on your phone and ask anything about it that the internet can answer. This was inevitable.

• Project Beam: 2D video to 3D video. Video calling, remote meetings, movies, porn, OnlyFans, so many industries might change if this works!

• Real-time voice translation on Google Meet: Yeah, I think this one’s self-explanatory. Imagine how crazy a world without language barriers would be. Just like all the sci-fi movies where the entire universe speaks English.

• Google AI Ultra Subscription: Worst thing at the end. The final goal is always to make money and if you want to access all the above AI tools (and more), you’ll need to shell out $124.99 for the first three months and $249.99/month after that.

Some really awesome tools, some beyond expectations. Something that extracts an unavoidable reaction from me is the quality of the Veo 3 models which also supports sound along with realistic video generation. I can’t imagine the amount of slop that will be released on YouTube once this models becomes cheap enough. The dead internet theory is going to become real. There’s probably no way we can avoid it.

One opportunity I can see emerging is the probable increase in real-life events because you will not have too many real interactions on the internet anymore. Maybe with your friends and family but in a few years you’ll be more likely to encounter a friendly AI bot than a friendly stranger. You might spend hours arguing something about your favourite sport with an AI agent that sounds just like a human and not even realize it. Redditors are already experiencing this. Anyway, that’s a topic for another article.
