Google I/O just wrapped up in 2024, and there was a whirlwind of exciting AI announcements. Google rebranded its AI chatbot from Bard to Gemini and launched several cutting-edge AI models. At the conference, AI took center stage while transforming everything from Google Search and Workspace to Android 15 and Chrome.
The Search Generative Experience launched in 2023 has been replaced by AI Overviews, leaving some marketers anxious about potential traffic drops in search engines while others saw endless possibilities to adapt to these AI advancements. If you have missed the event, here is a quick roundup of the biggest highlights and groundbreaking updates from Google I/O. We have also discussed some future prospects of these updates and their impact on digital marketers.
What is Google I/O?
Google I/O is the annual developer conference of the company that usually takes place in May. The first conference was held in 2018, and since then it's happening every year except for 2020.
The I/O stands for Input/Output. It refers to the computational concept of interfacing between the outside world and computer systems. Google I/O also stands for Innovation in the Open.
During this conference, Google announces new software and launches updates to its products. This year, it was held on May 14 and May 15 at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California.
Google I/O 2024 Highlights
Almost two-thirds of mobile phone users all around the world wait for May when Google announces its annual developer conference. For some years, the company has consistently focused on artificial intelligence to push for AI dominance. Some of the highlights from Google I/O 2024 are mentioned here.
Google launched the budget friendly Pixel 8A. It overshadowed the Let Loose spring event of Apple. However, OpenAI upstaged both by launching GPT-4o a day before Google I/O.

Ask Photos uses AI to search your photo library
AI-generated Gmail summaries of your inbox
Check out the details of major updates and upgrades below.
Gemini Advanced Updates
Google's on-device mobile language model, also known as Gemini Nano, now has Multimodality. CEO Sundar Pichai launched this upgrade to turn any input into any output. This technology can process texts, audio, social videos, photos, web content and live video from the camera of your phone. Then it synthesizes this data into a summary or to answer questions. In the demo, they scanned book titles on a shelf and recorded them in a database to recognize them in future.
Gemini 1.5 flash to generate faster response
Google has also launched a new AI model, Gemini 1.5 Flash. This model is optimized for fast, high-frequency tasks. It is as powerful as Gemini 1.5 Pro and generates quick responses while being cost-effective.
It is specifically designed for speed and is available in Google Preview through Google's AI Studio and Vertex AI. Google has also upgraded Gemini 1.5 Pro to double its context window from 1 million to 2 million tokens. This has played a major role in increasing its translation, reasoning and coding capabilities.
"Ask Photos" allows Gemini to analyze your Google photos
The Ask Photos feature on Google allows Gemini to sift through your Google Photos library and provide detailed responses to your queries. Instead of just finding pet photos, its capability was demonstrated by Sundar Pichai asking Gemini to search for his license plate number. The result included the number and picture to ensure the maximum level of accuracy.
This feature also enhances Google Photos visual search tools to allow Gemini to give more accurate results. You simply ask it for your license plate number, and it will use context clues to find your car in your photo collection. As stated by Google's software engineer, Ask Photos respects user privacy by not collecting data for ad targeting or training other Gemini AI models.
Gemini 1.5 Pro joins users in workspace
Google is also integrating Gemini 1.5 Pro into its Workspace suite, where it offers a convenient AI assistant in various apps like, Gmail, Docs, Slides, Sheets, and Drive.
Only paid subscribers will have access to this feature, and Gemini will serve as a versatile assistant in the Workspace. It can retrieve information from your Drive and perform tasks like drafting emails by incorporating document content or setting reminders based on emails.
Some early testers already have access to these features, but these features will be available to paid users from next month.
Search Upgrades
Google is a web search company that makes a major portion of its profit from search advertising. As AI is becoming a threat to its dominance, Google is taking proactive steps to integrate AI into its search platform. The experiments done by Microsoft with Bing haven't gained significant traction yet, but Google keeps pushing forward.
The company is expanding the role of Gemini in search by adding a planning feature. As stated by the Head of Search at Google, planning involves both enjoyment and effort. And the company is trying to reduce the workload on planning by these new advancements.
AI Overviews
You might already be aware of AI Overviews if you have selected Search Generative Experience through Search Labs. This feature populates AI insights at the top of your search results and gives users answers to their queries. It is now available for all users in the U.S.
The AI Overview feature has been used billions of times since its introduction in Search Labs. It has increased user engagement and satisfaction with search results.
Google is also introducing AI organized search results to feature unique headlines created by AI to better match with user search queries. It is also adding a Search feature to allow users to customize their AI overview preferences. It will break down information or simplify the language.
These features will be more feasible for inspiration related topics like dining, recipes, movies, books, hotels, music and shopping.
Google Chrome AI Assistant
Google is also integrating Gemini Nano into Chrome on desktops. This built-in assistant will use on-device AI to assist users in generating text for various purposes, such as product reviews and social media posts directly within the browser.
The purpose of this integration is to streamline the content creation tasks and increase productivity for Chrome users. You will experience improved efficiency and convenience with Gemini Nano when composing text-based content online.
Android Updates
One of the biggest Android updates is the replacement of Google Assistant with Gemini as the default AI assistant. With the help of Android TalkBack feature, the multimodal functions of Gemini Nano will give users an expressive smartphone experience. This will ensure a deeper integration with the mobile OS and Play Store applications. The feature currently works with YouTube, Google, Gmail, and Messages.
Another Circle to Search feature allows users to perform Google searches by circling images, texts, or videos on their phone screens. Students can even solve math problems and equations with this feature.
AI-Powered scam detection in android
There is also the introduction of a new scam detection feature for Android. This feature listens to your phone calls and detects suspicious language such as requests to transfer money to another account. If it identifies a scam, it will interrupt the call and display an on screen prompt suggesting you to hang up.
This feature also processes calls directly on your phone and ensures your conversation remains private and isn't shared to the cloud for analysis. These additional security functions help protect users from scam calls while maintaining privacy.
Project Astra
It is the ambitious multimodal AI assistant of Google designed to be a comprehensive virtual assistant. It understands and interprets visual information through your phone camera. It remembers where your things are located. It also performs tasks on your behalf.
Google envisions Astra as a proactive AI agent with the ability to converse with users and execute tasks autonomously.
Veo (Text-to-video generator)
At Google I/O 2024, Veo or text to video model is also introduced by Google. Veo has the ability to generate high quality 1080p videos that are longer than a minute. It is built on Google's previous work with models like Lumiere and Imagen-Video to improve its ability to understand natural language and cinematic terms like time lapse to create better videos matching user intentions.
Veo is currently available in private preview for select creators through VideoFX. Interested users can join a wait-list for future access. This makes it a direct competitor to Open AI’s text to image model, Sora. Google also showcased other AI advancements at the conference.

These innovations reflect Google's ongoing efforts to integrate AI into creative tools.
What marketers should be doing now?
Google I/O 2024 introduced several updates, particularly around AI and Search, which have significantly impacted digital and SEO strategies. But instead of panicking and considering it the end of SEO, here are a few things marketers should do to keep adapting to these upgrades and core updates.
Marketers should monitor changes in SERPs and traffic to understand the impact of AI Overviews and other relevant updates. They should ensure their focus keywords have AI Overviews to assess if their content is cited and answers generated by AI are accurate. They should also try to optimize their content by getting mentions and backlinks from authoritative sites. This will increase their chance of being featured in AI overview results.
Marketers must maintain a technically sound website with clear, relevant, and authoritative pages. The user experience should be seamless, with a fast loading speed to boost rankings. Instead of creating generic content, they should work on producing detailed, well-researched content to make it comply with Google's multi-step reasoning. It is essential to stay updated with Google's iterations of AI Overviews and other upgrades.
Marketers should keep up with the latest updates from Google by joining forums, attending webinars and reading industry publications.
Final Thoughts on Google I/O
Google I/O marks a significant shift in the world of search, AI, and SEO with the full integration of Gemini AI and a series of impactful algorithm updates. The aim of Google is to enhance user experience through AI-generated insights with the help of improved content creation tools. It emphasizes the importance of adaptability for businesses and website owners. If you want to thrive in this evolving environment, optimize it for AI integration by incorporating focus keywords and enhancing technical SEO to increase site performance. By staying informed and adaptive, businesses can explore these changes in a better way to achieve long-term success.
