This upgraded system can continuously scan the web to shop, research, or book appointments in the background.

Chief Executive Sundar Pichai stated, “Now we are super focused on bringing the power of agents to consumers so that it works for everyone.”

Additionally, Google is returning to wearable tech by introducing “intelligent eyewear” built on Android XR, partnering with brands like Warby Parker.

Launching this fall, these voice-controlled audio glasses will connect directly with Gemini, letting users get hands-free help.
