Industry Implications
These days, Silicon Valley is buzzing about the future of AI search, agents, vibe coding, and e-commerce so you can bet we’re expecting to hear tons of news on these fronts. And who knows, we might get a peek at some smart glasses demos and concept projects, too. That said, aren’t expecting much hardware.
After all, Google jumped the gun last week, announcing the Googlebook and Fitbit Air. We’ve also already heard much of what’s in store for Android during the Android Show. The AI landscape has changed quite a bit over the past few years, so the pressure is on for Google to distinguish Gemini from rivals like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude.
If you want the latest on what Google has to say, follow along below. We’ll be in the audience delivering beat-by-beat updates on the show. The keynote starts at 10AM PT/1PM ET.
This advance offers important signals about the future of the sector, and the tech world is watching closely.
