Google I/O 2025 presentation: Key innovations and future technologies unveiled by company

Google Beam (the evolution of 3D video calls)

Originally unveiled in 2021, Project Starline has been rebranded as Google Beam. This technology allows video conference participants to experience a sense of presence, as if they were in the same room, without the need for glasses or headsets. Corporate clients will be able to try out Beam later this year, with further details to be provided by HP.

Chrome improves its password manager

The built-in password manager in the Chrome browser will gain the ability to automatically change compromised passwords with a single click. This feature will work only on websites that support the functionality.

Gemini AI in Chrome and mobile apps

Gemini 2.5 Pro with Deep Think mode can generate complex 3D models and handle multitasking problem-solving. Integration with the Chrome browser will allow users to ask questions about their current tabs and receive concise summaries.

The Gemini Live feature, which analyzes photos and videos from a smartphone camera in real time, is already available on Android and iOS. Updated smart replies in Gmail now analyze your emails and Google Drive documents to create more personalized responses. The feature takes into account the tone of the conversation and offers different communication styles. The rollout is planned for July on the web, iOS, and Android.
