Google’s July updates introduce faster Gemini models, advanced robotics, and new creative tools for video and music production. You can now use Gemini Spark to automate web errands, link your favorite apps to Search, and easily transfer data to new Android devices. We are also expanding our impact through new wildfire detection satellites and a partnership to support the skilled trades workforce.

Google released a bunch of new AI updates in July to make your devices smarter and more helpful. They launched faster Gemini models, better tools for making music and videos, and new features that help you manage daily tasks. They’re also using AI to do important things like track wildfires and improve weather forecasts. These updates aim to make technology easier to use while helping solve real-world problems.

For more than 20 years, we’ve invested in machine learning and AI research, tools, and infrastructure to build products that make everyday life better for more people. Teams across Google are working on ways to unlock AI’s benefits in fields as wide-ranging as healthcare, crisis response, and education. To keep you posted on our progress, we're doing a regular roundup of Google's most recent AI news.

Here’s a look back at some of our AI announcements from July.

July brought a wave of AI advances to support developers, simplify everyday life, and protect local communities. We gave developers faster, more efficient Gemini models for scaling production agents and advancing robotics. We also expanded our creative suite with next-generation music and video tools, and made Search and Gemini Spark even more connected to your go-to daily apps. Plus, we announced a new skilled trades alliance and new satellites for early wildfire detection — and Google DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis shared his vision for this critical moment in history. Together, our July updates showed how AI can be more practical, creative, and helpful than ever before.

Check out three new Gemini models. Developers and customers building production AI agents need higher token efficiency, lower latency, and more reliable performance. Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber are built to meet the sweet spot of efficiency and quality to enable scaling agentic workflows.

See how robots gear up with Gemini Robotics ER 2. We launched Gemini Robotics ER 2, our most capable "embodied reasoning" model yet. Built for developers crafting genuinely helpful machines, ER 2 bridges the gap between digital smarts and the physical world. It lets systems chat naturally with people, make sense of their surroundings, and work through complex, multi-step tasks.
