As we step into May, it's that exciting time of year again—Google I/O 2025 is just around the corner. Scheduled to kick off tomorrow, May 20, at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT, this year's conference promises to be packed with innovations and announcements. Engadget will provide comprehensive coverage through a live blog and on-site reporting led by our own Karissa Bell, ensuring you won't miss a moment of this significant event.
Last week, Google showcased the new design of Android during The Android Show, but the spotlight will shift to artificial intelligence (AI) at the upcoming keynote. The tech giant has already hinted at the integration of its Gemini AI across various platforms such as Wear OS, Android Auto, and Google TV. Expect the keynote to delve into how Google is leveraging AI to enhance search functionalities, along with other surprising announcements, including the potential launch of an AI-powered alternative to Pinterest.
Following the main presentation, there will be a developer-focused keynote, which will cover a range of topics pertinent to developers. While our live blog will primarily concentrate on the headline announcements, we will also keep a keen eye on the developer-centric discussions, ensuring that all the important updates are captured.
Another exciting aspect of Google I/O 2025 is the introduction of Android XR, the company's mixed reality platform. During the conference, we anticipate announcements regarding the collaborative mixed reality headset developed in partnership with Samsung. Additionally, there are hints about smart glasses featuring Google's Project Astra, which were teased at the conclusion of The Android Show.
For those eager to catch all the announcements live, you can watch Google's keynote through the embedded livestream above or directly on the company's YouTube channel. The event will commence at 1 PM ET tomorrow, and Google plans to host a series of breakout sessions through May 21, covering a wide array of topics relevant to developers.
