About Google AI
I/O 2026: Gemini 3.5 lands as Google bets the stack on agentic action.
Google's consumer AI surface is mid-I/O 2026 announcement burst. Gemini 3.5 ships as a frontier model framed around 'action' rather than chat, alongside a $100/mo AI Ultra tier, expanded AI Mode in Search, voice-native Workspace tools, and a Beam group-meeting experiment. The framing across launches is consistent: Gemini is no longer positioned as a model but as an agent embedded in Search, Workspace, and devices.
