Google I/O 2026 kicks off today, with the event’s keynote presentation slated for 10AM PT / 1PM ET on May 19th. 

Gemini is expected to be front-and-center once again at this year’s developer conference, with Google potentially introducing new versions of AI models and more agentic AI features. Google already showed off a bunch of AI features coming to Android 17, including AI-generated widgets, during the Android Show. The keynote is likely to bring similar updates to Search and other Google properties. 

We could also get an update on Google XR, and potentially even a glimpse at some new smart glasses, with models from Samsung and even Gucci reportedly in the works. 

Follow along for the latest updates.
