Google is all set to hold its biggest software event of the year, I\/O 2026 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California.

What to expect from I\/O 2026?<\/h2>\n

1) Gemini Spark: <\/h2>\n

A new report by 9to5Google found that Google is seemingly planning to add more advanced agent capabilities to the Gemini app, which could be branded as \u2018Gemini Spark\u2019. The report notes that Spark could help Gemini evolve from a simple chatbot into a more proactive assistant capable of handling tasks on behalf of users.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Gemini Spark could also allow users to create ongoing or scheduled tasks via a dedicated interface. The new feature could let users automate tasks like decluttering inboxes by summarising or archiving newsletters, preparing meeting briefs, and creating personalised news digests that track stories over time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2) Gemini Omni:<\/h2>\n

Leaks have also started popping up about a new video generation model for Gemini called \u2018Gemini Omni\u2019. The feature was reportedly first spotted by a Reddit user who saw the prompt \u201cCreate with Gemini Omni\u201d inside the AI app.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cMeet our new video generation model. Remix your videos, edit directly in chat, try a template, and more.\u201d read the description<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

3) Gemini Live voice models:<\/h2>\n

A report by Forbes also suggests Google may also be working on bringing big upgrades to Gemini Live at I\/O 2026. The report found a hidden model selector within the Google app that is said to reveal several unreleased AI models for voice conversations, including variantions with enhanced reasoning and personalisation capabilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to the report, testing showed measurable differences between the models, with some able to access live weather and location information while others displayed stronger memory and context awareness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One unreleased model, codenamed “Capybara”, reportedly even identified itself as “Gemini 3.1 Pro” instead of the current Flash Live model.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
