Despite his praise, Sharma noted, “This demo doesn’t do justice to the power of the new way to search!” He urged viewers to particularly note the segment where a user is shown directing a camera while asking a question, illustrating the interactive capabilities of the new search method.

At the Google I/O 2024 conference, CEO Sundar Pichai introduced notable advancements in AI technology, emphasizing the Gemini AI suite. The event saw the debut of Gemini 1.5 Pro and Gemini 1.5 Flash, and dropped hints on further expansion plans for Gemini Advanced.
