Google Gemini gets Daily Brief, Neural Expressive redesign at I

Google announced major Gemini app updates at I/O 2026, including Daily Brief (a personalized morning digest pulling from inbox, calendar, and tasks), a visual redesign called Neural Expressive with fluid animations and richer response formats, and Gemini Spark — a cloud-based AI agent built on Gemini 3.5 Flash that runs autonomously in the background across Gmail, Docs, and other Google services. The app now has 900 million monthly active users. Google also cut the Ultra subscription price from $250 to $100/month and announced Gemini Omni, a multimodal video generation model. The moves position Gemini as a proactive personal assistant rather than a reactive chatbot, intensifying competition with ChatGPT and Claude.
