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

Project Astra is Google’s most ambitious AI project, and its next job is to figure out how to involve itself in your life without being a pain.

Project Astra was the hit of last year's Google I/O, and it returned to the 2025 show with a demo that reveals how much smarter an AI assistant can get in a year.

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 showed off its latest version of Project Astra today, revealing that it made an AI agent that can control Android apps.

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