Google I/O 2026 Live Blog: All the Gemini and Smart Glasses Updates as They Happen

This is Google’s big Day. Every year in May, the tech giant hosts developers and media in its hometown of Mountain View, California for its developer conference Google I/O. Google uses the I/O keynote to showcase the latest projects it’s working on — services and features that will soon be included in many of the products we use today, from Android and Google Workspace to Gemini and Google Home.

Today’s keynote speech begins 10am pacific, 1 pm easternOr 6pm British Summer Time. You can watch the livestream on this page or on Google’s YouTube channel.

What can you expect? We’ve got a full report which you can read here. Ahead of I/O, last week Google announced some new features for Android 17, Android Auto, and Gemini Intelligence – its artificial intelligence features for the “most advanced Android devices.” Additionally, it has launched a new laptop platform called Googlebook, powered by Android technologies and Gemini, with new hardware from laptop makers including HP, Dell and Lenovo coming later this year.

Today, we’re expecting to see new task automation features in Gemini, the latest AI models, and perhaps most exciting, more details on Google’s Android XR smart glasses, which are expected to be launched this year by partners including Samsung, Xreal, Warby Parker, and Gentle Monster.

WIRED has reporters at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, Calif., where Google I/O is taking place. This live blog will begin 30 minutes before the keynote address begins, and all text will be replaced by live updates. We’ll continue to post updates, analysis, and reactions throughout the event with the right context to prepare for Google’s announcements.
