Nauti's Take

Impressive sweep from Google at I/O 2026: Gemini 3.5, Project Aura, AI Mode in Search, plus a stack of new agent tools. The pace is a clear win for anyone building on AI.

The flip side is a real challenge: keeping up without chasing every shiny release. For builders the deep dive is worth it, for everyday users it is fine to just wait for the default updates to land.
