The future of Google is a search box that does everything

Google, Gemini, Gmail — it feels like they could one day become a single search box.

Last year, after watching Google’s I/O keynote, I wrote that it felt like Google’s future was Google googling. After watching this year’s I/O keynote on Tuesday, I don’t think Google just wants to google for you — I think it wants to do everything for you, all from a search box.

Take the trusty Google search bar itself, something Google is generally hesitant to update, which is getting some updates. It will “dynamically” expand as you type longer queries. It will offer “AI-powered suggestions” that Google claims will “go beyond autocomplete,” which could cause you to fill in the blanks of a search in a way you didn’t intend and that may or may not be helpful.

Or how about what Google actually shows in search results? From AI Overviews you can keep asking questions in AI Mode, which generates a custom page with an AI-generated summary of what you’re searching about instead of showing you a traditional list of links. Search results are also going to be even more personalized because Google will be able to generate custom UI for you, including generating things like interactive visuals and graphs right within your search results page. You’re also going to be able to ask Google, right from the search bar, to make “information agents” that can keep track of things you care about — like new sneaker drops or apartment listings — making the search bar a kind of AI-infused Google Alert.

Gemini is getting a bunch of upgrades and features, too. It can send you a “Daily Brief” that tells you about your day based on information from across your Google apps, like Gmail and Google Calendar. You can create your own custom Google-powered agents thanks to a feature called Gemini Spark, which could have a leg up on agents like OpenClaw because it’s a first-party offering from Google. The company has also been recently making a big kerfuffle about Personal Intelligence, which pulls in context from your other Google apps that helps inform your responses from Gemini.

In Workspace, Google wants you to just blab at tools like Gmail and Docs and Keep, and the apps will help with things like parsing your inbox, drafting a document, or generating to-do lists. For shopping, the new Universal Cart will keep track of things you want to buy in apps like Search, Gemini, Gmail, and YouTube — and let you check out using Google’s payment infrastructure. And speaking of YouTube, the company is testing an AI Mode-like experience there, too, where it will put together a page of search results instead of just showing you a list of things to watch.
