Gemini 3.5 delivers frontier intelligence specifically optimized for agents and coding, moving beyond simple question-answering to reliable execution of complex, multi-step workflows.
Gemini 3.5 and Omni Drive Multimodal Agency
Google's new Gemini 3.5 family of models combines high-level reasoning with direct action-taking capabilities. This allows the model to reliably execute agentic workflows across various applications. Complementing this is Gemini Omni, a model designed to ingest images, audio, video, and text to generate high-quality, grounded video content.
Experimental features like Project Genie, when combined with Street View, now allow users to simulate and explore highly realistic, interactive 3D environments of real-world locations directly from a browser. Additionally, a partnership between Google Flow Music and Believe is equipping musical artists with AI collaborators for tasks ranging from lyric brainstorming to final song production.
Search and Android Evolve Into Agentic Hubs
Google Search is undergoing its most significant upgrade in over 25 years with the introduction of an intelligent Search box and information agents. These agents work 24/7 in the background to monitor information on a user's behalf. By integrating Gemini 3.5 Flash, Search can now build generative UI, interactive visuals, and custom dashboards or mini-apps tailored to specific queries.
On the mobile side, Android Halo provides a dedicated space for users to monitor their agents' progress and receive contextual assistance without interrupting their primary workflow. Shopping is also being centralized through Universal Cart, a hub that allows users to add items to a cart while browsing Search, YouTube, or Gmail.
New Hardware for the Agentic Era
To support these intelligent systems, Google is launching hardware built from the ground up for Gemini Intelligence. This includes the Googlebook, a newly designed laptop experience featuring the Magic Pointer for contextual suggestions.
In the wellness space, the new Google Health app and Fitbit Air provide proactive health monitoring. The Fitbit Air is a compact tracker utilizing high-fidelity sensor technology to enable 24/7 heart rate monitoring, heart rhythm monitoring with Afib alerts, SpO2, and sleep stage analysis. These advancements enable a more integrated, proactive relationship between users and their personal data.
