The headliner is Universal Cart, which aggregates everything you've added across retailers into one view.

Google announced Docs Live, a new feature that lets you turn your thoughts into a structured document.

One of the bigger under-the-radar moments was Google's AI digital watermarking tool SynthID.

Google unveiled Gemini Omni, its new multimodal world model. It can create anything from any output.

Gemini Omni is multimodal in both directions. You can feed it text, audio, images, or video, and it generates back accordingly.

Gemini Omni is coming to YouTube Shorts Remix. Creators will be able to use more advanced AI prompts.
