Overview
- On the eve of Google I/O, reporting points to no Claude Code–style super agent from Google, with updates expected to deepen Gemini inside Gmail, Drive, Docs, and Slides.
- Google is widely seen as third in coding tools, with DeepMind engineers reportedly using Anthropic’s Claude Code and a new internal coding team formed to catch up.
- Google says it will make its AI Health Coach publicly available at I/O, offering fitness and diet guidance rather than medical advice.
- DeepMind remains strong in AI-for-science with tools such as the AI co‑scientist, which drafts hypotheses and research plans, and AlphaEvolve, which searches for new solutions in math and computing.
- Despite questions on coding strength, Google highlights business momentum tied to Gemini, with Google Cloud revenue up 63% last quarter and Alphabet shares up 136% over the past year.
