Google redesigns its iconic search box for the first time since 2001. The new design incorporates, as you guessed it, artificial intelligence, and the panel becomes larger and more interactive, so you can ask even more extensive questions and upload photos and videos to queries. 
The company will also offer digital assistants, known as agents, to automate searches so that someone looking for an apartment can be notified of a new listing without having to open a real estate website. The search features will be powered by a new artificial intelligence model, Gemini 3.5 Flash. Google said the model has improved at generating software code and performing autonomous tasks, runs faster and is less expensive to run than other comparable models.
Google is also bringing one of the greatest discoveries in AI to search – software programming. When you want to search for complex topics like astrophysics, Gemini can create interactive graphics and simulations in the background to provide a deeper answer than previous appearances of search.
Google said it is introducing an alternative to the agents powered by Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex. The service, called Gemini Spark, is integrated into Gmail, Docs and other Google products, where it can turn meeting notes scattered across emails and conversations into a single document. It can also read and compose emails.
Although the press releases will range from very select to rare, I said I'd pass...because sometimes the editors hide.
