Google Unveils Agents and AI Upgrades at I/O 2026

The tech giant is betting big on artificial intelligence, introducing a new service called Spark that promises to make AI more accessible and user-friendly. According to Google, Spark is designed to mimic the conversational style of Gemini, allowing users to interact with it in a more natural way. The platform also includes upgrades to its Antigravity technology, which aims to improve efficiency and accuracy. In addition to Spark, Google has announced a range of agents that will be integrated into various services, including Gmail and search. These agents are designed to shop for users and track their search topics, providing personalized recommendations and improving overall user experience. Meanwhile, DeepMind’s chief executive, Demis Hassabis, sparked controversy when he suggested that the singularity - a hypothetical point at which artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence - is near. However, Google has not commented on this statement. The introduction of agents and AI upgrades marks a significant shift in Google’s approach to AI, as it seeks to make its technology more accessible and user-friendly.
