Today we are starting to roll out the biggest upgrade to the Google Search box in over 25 years — now completely reimagined with AI, along with Gemini 3.5 Flash as the new default model for AI mode users globally!

Stitch launched last week and honestly our team hasn't stopped talking about it. The design DNA thing is real — we plugged it into an actual project and it just works.
Pair that with @GoogleAIStudio's new full-stack mode and you can go from zero to deployed app without leaving the browser.
And today — Gemini 3.1 Flash Live. We've been chatting with it. It's something else.
Big congrats to @stitchbygoogle @rustinb @OfficialLoganK @demishassabis @nainar92 — here's the full 54-day shipping record:

We're hiring a senior PM - does this sound like you?
Here in @GoogleLabs we're leaning hard into a "continuous AI" future - a fluid cycle of ideating, building, monitoring, and iterating.
One of my teams focuses on AI coding, and we're making this future real!
We're looking for a senior PM who is excited about enabling a next generation of builders, has technical experience themselves, and is ready to build in an AI-native way.
Pls share with folks you think would be great! google.com/about/careers/app…

Is it Favorites or Favourites?
Our team couldn't agree, but the Aussies/Brits got to the codebase first, so Favourites it is. 🇦🇺☕️
As the Vibe Design movement grows, we're seeing power users generate dozens of screens to explore creative solutions. To help you keep track of your best ideas, we made it simple:
⭐ Hit the star on any screen to save it.
⭐ Access your curated list anytime from the star menu in the upper right.
Never lose your best vibe.

Introducing the💡 Ideate agent in Stitch.
Use it at the start of a project to explore what’s possible before you converge on a solution. It takes a moment to think deeply, fetching context and exploring ideas so you don't have to.
Think of it as your design buddy that:
🌐 Fetches context from the web
🎨 Learns styles from existing sites
⚡️ Explores multiple solutions in parallel
Once you've found the spark, pick your winner and continue vibe designing.

Our users love the new experimental mode 3x more 🤩
So we made it the default. Give it a try!
TPUs incoming 🔥 Stitch is now using Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental Mode by default . Users have preferred the results of experimental mode 3x versus standard mode.
Everything is now generated with Gemini 2.5 Pro, making the output more creative and—most importantly—much easier to edit ✨.
This mode hasn't gained the ability to export to Figma, nor theming yet. That's still available in standard mode for now if you need it! Enjoy the new power and let us know what you think! 🚀
[Attached video is sped up. Experimental mode generations are very thorough - taking ~50s]

Bar charts are hard! I asked @julesagent (powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro) to make a proper bar chart.
It... just kidding, it one-shotted the task from my phone while I was packing a vacation bag 😛

Gemini 2.5 Pro continues to make great progress in completing Pokémon!
Just earned its 5th badge (next best model only has 3 so far, though with a different agent harness) 👀
