Google just shipped its entire 2026 vision in one blockbuster keynote on May 19, 2026. From lightning-fast Gemini 3.5 models to autonomous agents that actually get work done, multimodal video magic, and intelligent eyewear, the company declared the “agentic Gemini era” has officially begun. Here’s your full US-focused breakdown of everything announced and when you can use it.
Gemini 3.5 Series: Faster, Smarter, Agent-First AI
