Every product Google has announced so far in 2026

In a year where Google's AI ambitions are taking centre stage, the tech giant has been quietly revolutionizing its product line with AI-powered tools designed to make users' lives easier. For Sundar Pichai, Google's CEO, this means weaving artificial intelligence into nearly every product the company makes, from new Gemini models to AI-powered shopping tools. But what does this mean for the average user, and what can we expect from Google in the second half of 2026?

Google's first half of 2026 has been defined by its Gemini models, a series of AI-powered tools designed to help users search, shop, work, create, and complete tasks on their behalf. The message from Google's annual I/O developer conference and other announcements is clear: the company wants Gemini to become the connective tissue across its ecosystem. At the heart of this strategy are new Gemini models built around reasoning, speed, and action.

One of the biggest announcements of 2026 is the Gemini 3.5 Flash, Google's new default AI model across the Gemini app and AI-powered Search experiences. According to Google, Gemini 3.5 Flash combines frontier-level intelligence with the ability to take action across complex workflows. What this means for users is faster responses and improved performance on multi-step tasks. The model outperforms its predecessor, Gemini 3.1 Pro, on coding, multimodal and agentic benchmarks, while operating at a significantly lower cost. Google claims it generates outputs four times faster than comparable frontier models.

In addition to the Gemini 3.5 Flash, Google also previewed Gemini 3.5 Pro, a more advanced model designed for complex reasoning, coding, and research-intensive tasks. As Sundar Pichai hinted at Google I/O 2026, Gemini 3.5 Pro is expected to become available in June 2026, offering users a more powerful and capable model for sophisticated tasks.

Google's next step in multimodal AI is Gemini Omni, a system that can create anything from any input, starting with video. Unlike traditional AI models that primarily process text, Gemini Omni can accept images, audio, video, and text as input. The first model in the Gemini Omni family, Gemini Omni Flash, promises to revolutionize the way users interact with AI-powered tools. With the ability to generate videos grounded in real-world understanding and edit them through natural-language conversations, Gemini Omni is poised to become a turning point AI-powered productivity.

As Google continues to push the boundaries of AI, one thing is clear: the company's focus on Gemini is only just beginning. With the Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni already making waves, it's likely that we'll see even more AI-powered tools and models emerge in the second half of 2026. Will Google's push into AI prove to be a winning strategy, or will users begin to resist the company's increasing reliance on artificial intelligence?As Google continues to weave AI into its ecosystem, we can expect to see even more innovative products and tools emerge in the second half of 2026. One thing is certain: Google's AI ambitions are only just beginning to take shape.
