Google’s annual developer conference, Google I/O 2025, delivered exactly what tech enthusiasts and AI lovers had hoped for—next-level artificial intelligence tools that promise to redefine productivity, communication, and creativity. The best part? Many of these features are already rolling out or available in India for early adopters to explore.
Whether you're a developer, business professional, or casual user, here are five cutting-edge AI-powered innovations from Google I/O 2025 that you can try right now in India.
1. Gemini 2.5 AI Model – Smarter, Faster, More Capable
Google's Gemini AI has undergone a major upgrade with the release of Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Flash—both tailored for different needs but equally powerful.
Gemini 2.5 Pro: This model introduces a new “Deep Think” mode, ideal for complex math problems, intricate coding tasks, and logical reasoning. It simulates different scenarios before suggesting the best possible solution—perfect for students, developers, and problem-solvers.
Gemini 2.5 Flash: Designed to be faster and more cost-effective, Flash handles long text, images, and code with impressive speed, while using fewer tokens. It’s a smart option for users on a budget without sacrificing much in performance.
💡 Try it in India: Gemini 2.5 is already integrated into the Gemini app, Google Workspace, and developer APIs accessible in India. You can access it via Google Bard or within Gmail, Docs, and Sheets.
2. Google Beam – The Future of 3D Video Calling
Google has officially launched Google Beam, an evolution of its research project Project Starline. This revolutionary tool uses six AI-powered cameras and real-time 3D rendering to create a life-like holographic video chat experience.
Beam provides immersive 3D presence and smooth tracking at 60fps.
Ideal for business settings, Beam enhances virtual meetings, interviews, and collaboration sessions by making participants feel as though they're sitting across from each other.
💡 Try it in India: While Beam devices are expected to be launched commercially in India later this year via HP, early corporate partners like Deloitte, Duolingo, and Salesforce are already piloting it. Expect Beam to roll out for Indian enterprises soon.
3. Ask Photos – Smarter Photo Search with AI
Ever struggled to find a specific memory buried in your endless photo collection? With the new "Ask Photos" feature powered by Gemini AI, Google Photos now lets you search using natural language queries.
For example:
“Show me the photo of our last beach vacation where we had ice cream.”
Gemini understands context and returns the exact image, thanks to its semantic AI capabilities.
💡 Try it in India: This feature is gradually rolling out in Google Photos across Android and iOS. If you’ve received the update, simply tap the Ask Photos prompt and start searching.
4. AI-Supported Coding in Android Studio “Koala”
Google also showcased AI integration directly into Android Studio, the popular development environment for Android apps. The new release, codenamed “Koala”, brings real-time code suggestions, error detection, and auto-fix recommendations—all powered by Gemini.
Developers can ask Gemini to generate boilerplate code, explain errors, or even suggest improvements on the fly.
This feature boosts productivity and lowers the barrier for entry into app development.
💡 Try it in India: Android Studio Koala (Canary build) with Gemini support is available for download on developer.android.com. Anyone in India building Android apps can start using this AI tool right now.
5. Gemini in Google Workspace – Smarter Docs, Mail & Sheets
Google Workspace users now benefit from the power of Gemini right inside Docs, Gmail, Sheets, Slides, and Meet. Whether it's writing an email, summarizing a long document, generating slide content, or analyzing spreadsheet data—Gemini does it all.
Key features include:
Drafting entire email responses in Gmail
Auto-generating tables and formulas in Sheets
Summarizing meeting notes and creating presentations in Slides
💡 Try it in India: Gemini in Workspace is available to Google One AI Premium users and Workspace Labs participants in India. If you haven’t already, you can sign up or check your eligibility in the Workspace settings.
