In its demo, Google showed Project Astra doing all sorts of useful stuff. If you forget where you left your keys, Astra will remember; if you want to crunch a piece of code you’re looking at, just ask; you want to give your dog a nickname, you’re covered.

Google showed off quite a few things revolving around AI at Google I/O 2025, and one of those things was the new argentic capabilities it’s been working on for its Project Astra technology. This is likely going to be something that we see come to Gemini Live at some point down the line.

Google announced that its Project Astra, which it unveiled last year, will have additional features and will drive new experiences in Gemini

Follow along with the Gizmodo crew as we unpack everything Google announces at its annual developer conference in Mountain View, Calif.

Google is laying out its vision for Project Astra to one day power a version of Gemini that can act as a "universal AI assistant."

At Google I/O 2025, Project Astra showed off next-gen AI skills. In the demo, the AI-powered tool was able to read screens to make calls and remember context shared earlier

If there was a star of last year's Google I/O, it was Project Astra, Google's attempt to build an AI-powered assistant that can see what you see, act on what you say and — perhaps most impressively — remember it all.

Next is Project Mariner, which develops agentic capabilities in Gemini. It was launched in December 2024, and Google has been exploring various research prototypes of human-agent systems. The company also previewed a browser-focused AI agent that can make reservations at a restaurant and book appointments.

Google unveiled dozens of new AI updates at I/O. Some of them seem to overlap significantly.

Google showed off Project Astra's latest capabilities in a 90-second video at Google I/O 2025. Astra acts like a real agent, opening apps, navigating Android, and tracking movements. Google's Astra is a step towards a universal AI assistant,
