Google has revealed a few new significant modifications and enhancements for the Gemini app, including a “Daily Brief” feature, a redesigned UI, access to a new AI video model called Gemini Omni, and a new personal AI agent named Gemini Spark, during its annual Google I/O event, which is also a developer conference, on Tuesday, repositioning it as an all-purpose AI agent centre rather than a stand-alone chatbot.
By emphasizing continuous background execution, extraordinary speed, and a rich, dynamic visual interface, the move immediately strengthens Google’s competition with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude.
The modifications indicate that Google’s desire to make its Gemini app more competitive with fellow AI apps like ChatGPT and Claude and to transform it into an all-purpose AI hub rather than a stand-alone chatbot.
It is powered by the new Gemini 3.5 Flash model as its default engine, the Gemini app runs four times faster than other frontier models in output tokens per second and outperforms earlier pro versions on key benchmarks, specifically targeting complex agentic and coding workflows.
The new Daily Brief feature, according to Google, is a customized summary intended to be your first destination every morning. It gathers information collected from a user’s calendar, inbox, and most crucial activities and arranges it into an understandable summary.
According to Google, Daily Brief does more than just describe this data; it also ranks tasks according to importance and makes recommendations for future actions, starting with the most crucial ones.
Today, Google AI subscribers in the US will receive the Daily Brief.
The Gemini app is already widely used; according to the business, it has over 900 million monthly users and is accessible in more than 70 languages and 230 countries. Google, however, obviously wants more while keeping its current clientele.
Google claimed to have completely redesigned the app. Users will now experience a new design language called “Neural Expressive” when they launch the app, which includes tactile feedback, vivid colours, updated typography, and fluid animations.
Unlike the majority of AI chatbots, Gemini is no longer presenting its responses as a wall of text, rather, the most important information is bolded at the top. As the user scrolls down, more text and maybe other components like timelines and pictures display.
Google characterizes Gemini Spark as a personal AI assistant that guides you through your digital life around-the-clock. Spark turns Gemini from a helper into a proactive collaborator who actually completes tasks for you. Spark continues to operate in the background even when you lock your phone because it is a cloud-based agent. Users will be able to design their own unique workflows using Gemini Spark in the Gemini app.
The company anticipates making Spark accessible to Google AI Ultra subscribers the following week. Spark is already undergoing testing.
Google’s generative media models are combined with Gemini in the company’s new AI video model, Gemini Omni, to provide knowledge-based outputs. A straightforward prompt such as “claymation explainer of protein folding” might be used, for instance. Google claims that the model generates a consistent, high-quality video by allowing you to contribute voice, images, and video.
Google is strengthening competitiveness among major AI platforms in the current fight to lead multimodal content development by granting access to a new video-generating model such as Gemini Omni. The model’s rollout to YouTube Shorts and Google Flow for Google AI subscribers highlights the company’s larger push into AI-powered video tools and multimodal content creation.
