Today is one of the most important days on the tech calendar as Google kicked
off its I/O developer event with its annual keynote. As ever, the company had
many updates for a wide range of products to talk about.

The bulk of the Android news was revealed last week, during a special edition
of The Android Show. However, Tuesday's keynote still included a ton of stuff
including, of course, a pile of AI-related news. We covered the event in real-
time in our live blog, which includes expert commentary (and even some
jokes!) from our team.

If you're on the hunt for a breakdown of everything Google announced at the
I/O keynote, though, look no further. Here are all the juicy details worth
knowing about:

Beam is the new name of Google's 3D video conferencing booths Google

It's been a few years since we first heard about Project Starline, a 3D video
conferencing project. We tried this tech out at I/O 2023 and found it to be
an enjoyable experience.

Now, Google is starting to sell this tech, but only to enterprise customers
(i.e. big companies) for now. It's got a new name for all of this too: Google
Beam. And it's probably not going to be cheap. HP will reveal more details in
a few weeks.

AI updates

You know those smart replies in Gmail that let you quickly respond to an
email with an acknowledgement? Google is now going to offer personalized
versions of those so that they better match your writing style. For this to
work, Gemini looks at your emails and Drive documents. Some folks will
(understandably) not be uncomfortable with that. At least you'll need to
grant Gemini permission before it plunders your personal information.
Subscribers will be able to use this feature in Gmail starting this summer.

Google Meet is getting a real-time translation option, which should come in
very useful for some folks. A demo showed Meet being able to match the
speaker's tone and cadence while translating from Spanish.

Subscribers will be able to try out real-time translations between Spanish
and English in beta starting this week. This feature will soon be available
for other languages.

Google

Gemini Live, a tool Google brought to Pixel phones last month, is coming to
all compatible Android and iOS devices in the Gemini app (which already has
more than 400 million monthly active users). This allows you to ask Gemini
questions about screenshots as well as live video that your phone's camera is
capturing. Google is rolling out Gemini Live to the Gemini iOS and Android
app starting today.
