Google just dropped a bunch of new AI features across Gmail, Docs, Search, and more at I/O 2025, and it’s clear the company is going all-in on Gemini. In Gmail, you’ll soon get smart replies that sound like you. These aren’t just generic one-liners anymore; Gemini will now pull from your previous emails and Google Drive to suggest replies that fit your tone and include useful context. Whether you write formally or prefer a more casual vibe, it adjusts automatically.
Also new in Gmail: inbox spring cleaning, powered by Gemini. You’ll be able to give it commands like “delete all unread emails from last year,” and it’ll just… do it. Google’s also making it easier to set up meetings with people outside your company. The AI can now spot when you’re trying to book something and offer your available times, cutting down on the back-and-forth.
Over in Google Docs, Gemini is getting smarter about what it references when helping you write. You can now link specific slides, reports, or data files, and Gemini will only use those sources for suggestions. It’s a big step toward more focused, accurate assistance, especially helpful for reports, business plans, or any high-stakes writing.
Google Vids, the company’s AI-powered video tool, is getting a nice upgrade too. You’ll soon be able to turn your Google Slides into fully produced videos, complete with Gemini-generated voiceovers, animations, and scripts. It’s a video editor for people who hate editing video.
The Gemini AI chatbot is getting even more capable with Gemini Live. It now supports camera and screen sharing, so you can walk around a new city, point your phone at a building, and ask questions about it in real time. Soon, Gemini Live will tie into Google Maps, Calendar, and Tasks, so it can help you get directions, book events, or make to-do lists without leaving the chat.
On the Search front, Google is rolling out AI Mode, a new tab that puts a chatbot front and centre in your search experience. You can ask follow-up questions, dig deeper into topics, and even let the AI click around the web for you. Google’s moving beyond blue links and turning Search into more of a smart assistant. Between this and new features like Deep Search and Project Mariner, Google’s betting big that we’ll soon expect our search engine to just do things for us, not just point us in the right direction.
