Google detailed a wave of AI updates across its product line in a blog post published this week, centered on the debut of Gemini 2.5, the newest version of its multimodal model built by Google DeepMind.
Gemini 2.5
According to Google, Gemini 2.5 has a 5-million-token context window, which the company says allows it to process entire codebases or multiple full-length novels in a single session. Google also cites improved logical reasoning, fewer hallucinations, and native video understanding that lets the model analyze and describe actions in video feeds in real time. Gemini 2.5 is described as the model now powering updates across Google's other products.
Search and Workspace
Google says Search, powered by Gemini 2.5, can now handle multi-turn research tasks, summarizing sources and producing reports directly in results. Google Maps is adding a 'Proactive Routing' feature that the company says can forecast traffic hours in advance using event schedules, weather data and historical patterns.
In Workspace, Google is introducing task-specific AI agents: a 'Scheduler Agent' that negotiates meeting times with external contacts, and a 'Project Manager Agent' that can draft project plans, assign tasks and set deadlines from a single brief.
Pixel and Tensor G6
Upcoming Pixel devices will use a new Tensor G6 chip built to run generative AI models on-device, according to the post. Google says this enables 'Live Translate for Video' — real-time on-screen translation during video calls without a cloud connection — and 'Photographic Recall,' a search feature that lets users find photos or videos using detailed natural-language descriptions.
Health and developer tools
Google also outlined updates to Fitbit, which it says will use health AI to analyze biometric trends and generate wellness plans that adjust daily. For developers, Google is releasing a new set of APIs for building on Gemini 2.5 through Google Cloud.
Google frames the updates as part of a broader push to integrate AI more deeply across Search, Workspace, Pixel and Fitbit, though the company has not given a rollout timeline for most of the features described.
