The news: Google is expected to use I/O 2025 this week to drive interest and developer support for its Gemini AI models as they become embedded across Android, Google TV, Android Auto, and Wear OS 6.
Gemini is not just a chatbot but rather the new interface layer of Google’s AI expansion. It’s already replaced Google Assistant across Android and Pixel devices and could be the unifying platform for future expansion.
Gemini’s opportunity in the AI surge: As AI adoption accelerates across business and consumer markets, Google has a clear opening to position Gemini as a go-to platform for end-to-end generative AI (genAI).
Marketers are increasingly using AI to produce video, audio, images, and social content, according to Hubspot. Google’s expanding AI skillset aims to meet that demand on several fronts.
-
Project Astra, Google's real-time, vision-enabled AI assistant, signals a move toward responsive content creation for text, images, audio, and video.
-
Gemini Live is now free, allowing users to share screens or cameras for collaborative, real-time brainstorming sessions.
-
Veo 2, Google's advanced text-to-video generator, is now available to Gemini Advanced subscribers—adding the ability to generate high-quality video for advertising and social content.
Key takeaway: Google is repositioning Gemini as the foundation of its AI-first future. By baking Gemini into every screen, speaker, and surface, Google wants developers to build around it and marketers to prioritize it.
For marketers, this means rethinking engagement to prioritize voice, ambient, and context-aware experiences to capitalize on a Gemini-led AI future.
