Another Google I/O is behind us, and the keynote was as lengthy as ever. Google talked to the public for almost two hours in the opening show. If you didn’t get a chance to check it out, or didn’t have time to, Google just released a 10-minute Google I/O 2024 recap on YouTube.
Google has shared a 10-minute Google I/O 2024 keynote recap
The video is embedded below the article, and it has a duration of 9 minutes and 58 seconds. Google cut out a ton of the show to just show you the announcements here, basically.
Now, considering the show was heavily focused on AI, it was quite tedious. Some may say it was somewhat underwhelming, but you have to remember this is Google’s developer’s conference first and foremost.
In any case, Google had plenty to say during it. If you’re not really into watching the video, we have our own recap of what was going on. In it, we briefly go over the announcements, and that includes Android 15 Beta 2, actually, which was not a part of the keynote. That information followed yesterday, on May 15.
The company had plenty to say during the show, of course
Google has plenty to say during the keynote. Some new features got announced, like ‘Ask Photos’ for Google Photos, which is supposed to supercharge photo searches. Gmail will also get boosted with more Gemini AI soon.
The company showcased Gemini 1.5 Pro improvements, while Gemini 1.5 Flash was announced too. Project Astra arguably managed to attract the most attention, as Google had a really nice demo to show us.
Veo is Google’s new generative AI model, while the company also showed off an AI-based assistant for music creation if we can call it that. Google Search is getting boosted by Gemini too, as is Android OS itself.
Google talked about all that, and much more. Do note that the company did not announce any hardware this time around. It did not even tease the upcoming Pixel devices, as it did during last year’s keynote.
