What will Google I/O bring?
Reportedly, this year Google I/O will be all about AI. Google I/O will probably cover how Google is marrying Search and generative AI. The company seems to be testing new search features such as AI conversation practice for English language learners, as well as image generation for shopping and virtual try-on.
Google I/O is also rumored to introduce you with the debut of a new, more personal version of its digital assistant, called “Pixie.” This Gemini-powered assistant is expected to have features like the ability to take pictures of objects to learn how to use them or get directions to a place to buy them.
“Google will focus much on new hardware this year, given that the Pixel 8A is already available for preorder and you can now buy a relaunched, cheaper Pixel Tablet, unchanged apart from the fact that the magnetic speaker dock is now a separate purchase,” as reported by The Verge. Furthermore, Google could still tease new products such as the Pixel 9 and the Pixel Tablet 2.
Google could also talk about its follow-up to the Pixel Fold, which is rumored to get a rebrand to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
What’s more in the bag?
In the meantime, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, might be trying to steal the spotlight from the Google I/O event with the message, “not gpt-5, not a search engine, but we’ve been hard at work on some new stuff we think people will love! feels like magic to me.”
Altman’s message presumably alluded to a Reuters report published earlier this week, suggesting that OpenAI plans to announce an AI-powered search product on Monday. Reuters also said the announcement date “is subject to change.”
