Google I/O 2025 was chock full of announcements. The issue is, Google is not all the time clear about which options are new, which have already been launched, and that are popping out sooner or later.
Whereas there are many options to look out for on the horizon, and a quantity nonetheless that you have been ready to make use of for a while, there are model new options Google rolled out instantly after saying them. Listed below are all of the Google I/O options you may take a look at proper now—although some do require you to pay.
Imagen 4
Credit score: Google
Google’s newest AI picture technology mannequin, Imagen 4, is out there at present. Google was sparse on too many particular upgrades with this new mannequin, however says that Imagen is quicker, and now able to photographs as much as 2K decision with further facet ratios.
The change the corporate targeted most on is typography: Google says Imagen 4 can generate textual content with none of the same old AI errors you affiliate with AI picture turbines. On prime of that, the mannequin can incorporate totally different artwork kinds and design selections, relying on the context of the immediate. You possibly can see that within the picture above, which makes use of a pixelated design for the textual content to match the 8-bit cartoon look.
You possibly can strive the most recent Imagen mannequin within the Gemini app, Whisk, Vertex AI, and thru Workspace apps like Slides, Vids, and Docs.
AI Mode

AI Mode essentially turns Search into a Gemini chat: It lets you ask extra sophisticated and multi-step questions. Google then makes use of a “question fan-out” approach to scan the online for related hyperlinks and generate a whole reply from these outcomes. I have never dived too deep into this characteristic, however it does largely work as marketed—I am simply undecided if that is all that rather more helpful than looking by way of hyperlinks myself.
Google has been testing AI Mode since March, however now it is out there to everybody within the U.S. If you wish to use it, you must see the brand new AI Mode choice on the fitting aspect of the search bar on Google’s homepage.
“Attempt it on”
Credit score: Google
Buying on-line is so way more handy than going in-person, in all methods however one: You possibly can’t strive on any of the garments forward of time. As soon as they arrive, you strive them on, and if they do not match, or you do not just like the look, again to the shop they go.
Google desires to remove (or, not less than, drastically minimize down on) this from occurring. Its new “try it on” feature scans a picture you present of your self to get an understanding of your physique. Then, whenever you’re searching for brand new garments on-line, you may select to “strive it on,” and Google’s AI will generate a picture of you carrying the article of clothes.
It is an attention-grabbing idea, but additionally a bit creepy. I personally don’t need Google analyzing photographs of myself in order that it might probably extra precisely map various kinds of garments on me. Personally, I would moderately run the chance of constructing a return. However if you wish to give it a go, you may try the experimental feature in Google Labs today.
Jules
Jules is Google’s “asynchronous, agentic coding assistant.” According to Google, the assistant clones your codebase right into a safe Google Cloud digital machine, in order that it might probably execute duties like writing assessments, constructing options, producing audio changelogs, fixing bugs, and bumping dependency variations.
The assistant works within the background and does not use your code for coaching, which is a bit refreshing from an organization like Google. I am not a coder, so I am unable to say for certain whether or not Jules appears helpful. However if you’re a coder, you may check it for your self. As of at present, Jules is out there as a free public beta for anybody who desires to strive it out—although Google says utilization limits apply, and that they may cost for various Jules plans as soon as the “platform matures.”
Speech translation in Google Meet
Credit score: Google
Should you’re a Google Workspace subscriber, this subsequent characteristic is fairly nice. As proven off in the course of the I/O keynote, Google Meet now has live speech translation. Here is the way it works: For example you are speaking to somebody on a Google Meet name who speaks Spanish, however you solely communicate English. You may hear the opposite caller communicate in Spanish for a second or two, earlier than an AI voice dubs over them with the interpretation in English. They’re going to obtain the alternative on their finish after you begin talking.
Google is engaged on including extra languages within the coming weeks.
Google AI Extremely subscription
Credit score: Google
There is a new subscription on the town, although it is not for the faint of coronary heart. Google announced a new “AI Ultra” subscription at I/O yesterday, that prices a whopping $250 per thirty days.
That extraordinary price ticket comes with some main AI options: You get entry to the very best limits for all of Google’s AI fashions, together with Gemini 2.5 Deep Assume, Veo 3, and Challenge Mariner. It additionally comes with 30TB of cloud storage, and, amusingly, a YouTube Premium subscription.
What do you suppose thus far?
You actually need to be a giant believer in AI to drop upwards of $3,000 a yr on this subscription. When you have a budding curiosity for AI, maybe Google’s “AI Professional” plan is extra your pace—that is the brand new identify for Google’s AI Premium subscription, and comes with the identical perks, plus now entry to Circulation (which I am going to cowl beneath).
Veo
Veo 3 is Google’s newest AI video mannequin. Not like Imagen 4, nonetheless, it is solely out there to AI Extremely subscribers. Should you’re not comfy with spending $250 a month on Google’s companies, you may have to stay with Veo 2.
Google says Veo 3 is best at real-world physics than Veo 2 and may deal with reasonable lip-syncing. You possibly can see that within the clip above, which reveals an “previous sailor” reciting a poem. His lips do certainly match the speech, and the video is crisp with components of realism. I personally do not suppose it appears “actual,” and it nonetheless has plenty of tells that it’s an AI video, however there isn’t any doubt we’re getting into some harmful waters with AI video.
AI Professional subscribers with entry to Veo 2 have some new video mannequin capabilities, as effectively, nonetheless. You now have digicam controls to dictate the way you need pictures to look; choices for adjusting the facet ratio of the clip; instruments so as to add or take away objects from a scene; and controls to “outpaint,” or so as to add on to the scene of a clip.
Circulation
Google did not simply improve its AI video mannequin: It additionally launched an AI video editor, referred to as Circulation.
Circulation enables you to generate movies utilizing Veo 2 and Veo 3, however it additionally enables you to minimize collectively these clips on a timeline and management the digicam actions of your clips. You should utilize Imagen to generate a component you wish to add to a scene, then ask Veo to generate a clip with that factor in it.
I am certain AI movie lovers are going to like this, however I stay skeptical. I may see this being a useful gizmo for story boarding concepts, however for creating actual content material? I do know I do not wish to watch full reveals or motion pictures generated by AI. Possibly the odd Instagram video will get a chuckle out of me, however I do not suppose Reels are Google’s finish purpose right here.
Circulation is out there for each AI Professional and AI Extremely subscribers. When you have AI Professional, you may entry Veo 2, however AI Extremely subscribers can select between Veo 2 and Veo 3.
Gemini in Chrome
Credit score: Google
AI Professional and AI Extremely subscribers now have entry to Gemini in Google Chrome, which seems within the toolbar of your browser window. You possibly can ask the assistant to summarize an internet web page, in addition to inquire about components of that net web page. There are plans for agentic options sooner or later, so Gemini may take a look at web sites for you, however, for now, you are actually restricted to 2 features.
