For more than 20 years, we’ve invested in machine learning and AI research, tools and infrastructure to build products that make everyday life better for more people. Teams across Google are working on ways to unlock AI’s benefits in fields as wide-ranging as healthcare, crisis response and education. To keep you posted on our progress, we're doing a regular roundup of Google's most recent AI news.

Here’s a look back at some of our AI announcements from March.

This March, we focused on making AI feel even more helpful to your day-to-day world. We introduced updates to help Gemini understand your specific context — from your travel plans and work projects to your shopping preferences — giving you the option to turn your devices into proactive helpers.

Whether you’re vibe coding an app, getting help on the go with Search Live or consulting a personalized health coach on your wrist, our March breakthroughs were all designed to help you work, create and live just a bit more intuitively.

We expanded Search Live globally to everywhere AI Mode is available. Search Live rolled out in more than 200 countries and territories where AI Mode is available. Tap the "Live" icon in the Google app to engage in back-and-forth dialogue using your voice or camera feed — perfect for hands-free troubleshooting, real-time travel tips or identifying objects on the go. We also made Canvas in AI Mode available throughout the U.S. in English, providing a dedicated, dynamic workspace for organizing long-term plans and projects. The tool is more capable than ever with newly added support for creative writing and coding tasks directly within Search.

We made it easier to create with Gemini in Docs, Sheets, Slides and Drive. AI Ultra and Pro subscribers can now access enhanced AI tools and productivity across Docs, Sheets, Slides and Drive. Gemini can securely synthesize information across your files, emails and the web to uncover useful insights and connect the dots for you while keeping your data safeguarded. Notably, Gemini in Sheets has achieved state-of-the-art performance, making it a more powerful partner for complex data analysis and collaborative tasks.

We gave Google Maps a major upgrade with Gemini. This update introduced Ask Maps, a conversational experience that answers complex questions like, "Where can I charge my phone without a long wait for coffee?" It can even book reservations while you’re on the go. Drivers are also getting a redesigned experience with Immersive Navigation, which uses real-world imagery and natural directions to simplify routing and reduce on-road stress.

We expanded Personal Intelligence to more people. We brought Personal Intelligence to AI Mode in Search, Gemini in Chrome and the Gemini app across the U.S. Whether you need shopping recommendations that actually fit your style or a travel itinerary built from your own plans, Personal Intelligence securely connects with your Google apps — like Gmail and Photos — to provide more personalized results. You’re always in charge: You choose what to connect, and you can change this in your settings whenever you want.

We introduced tools to help people switch to Gemini. Switching to a more helpful AI assistant shouldn't mean losing your history, and our new memory and chat history import features allow you to instantly migrate your chats and context from other AI apps directly into Gemini. They make it easy to ensure your personal preferences come with you to Gemini so you never have to start from scratch.

We released new AI features for your devices in the March Pixel Drop. The latest drop is all about making your devices feel more intuitive. Circle to Search can now break down an entire look from a pic, helping you find every piece of an outfit from the coat to the shoes; and Gemini uses Magic Cue to surface restaurant recommendations directly in your chats. The drop also adds daily conveniences like Now Playing music history and new Pixel Watch features, including Express Pay and phone locking.

We expanded live translation for headphones on iOS, and to more countries. Google Translate’sLive translate with headphones has arrived on iOS, and we've expanded the capability for both iOS and Android users in even more places. Live translate helps you instantly understand and connect with the world around you right through any pair of headphones in over 70 languages.

We announced new tools and partnerships to support your health at The Check Up 2026. At our annual health event, we shared how AI can help spark medical breakthroughs and bring quality healthcare to everyone, everywhere. We’re providing $10 million in funding to help organizations reimagine clinician education in the AI era, and exploring new partnerships with rural health leaders focused on education, care delivery and research. Plus,

Fitbit is making its health tracking even better with expansions to the personal health coach in Public Preview that will give you more personalized advice about your sleep and overall health, the ability to connect your medical records to the Fitbit app, plus new features for cycle health, mental wellbeing and nutrition and water logging.

We introduced Lyria 3 Pro for enhanced music generation. This update brings our most advanced music model to more products, enabling you to generate tracks up to three minutes long with granular control over specific elements like intros, verses, and bridges. Additionally, Lyria and Lyria 3 are now available in public preview for developers through the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, expanding the tools available for creative AI expression.

We released Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite and Gemini 3.1 Flash Live. Flash-Lite is our fastest, most budget friendly model yet. It’s built to quickly handle heavy workloads without compromising quality. Its low latency makes it an ideal solution for building responsive, real-time experiences while maintaining significant cost efficiency for large-scale deployments.

Plus, we released Gemini 3.1 Flash Live, our best audio model to date. It’s fast and sharp enough to feel like a real conversation, and it’s already live in more than 200 countries via Search Live and Gemini Live. By cutting down the lag and boosting precision, we’re helping developers and businesses build reliable tools for their customers.

We launched an upgraded vibe coding experience in Google AI Studio. Building an app should feel as easy as talking about one. Google AI Studio now lets you turn prompts into production-ready apps, by using the new Google Antigravity coding agent. You can use Build mode to build multiplayer experiences, add databases, connect to real-world services, and more.

The new AI agent has a much deeper understanding of your entire project, which means faster iterations and more precise code edits, and it securely stores your API keys and lets you pick up exactly where you left off. Go to Google AI Studio to start building.

We looked back at 10 years of AlphaGo’s impact. A decade after its historic win over a world champion of an incredibly complex game, we looked back at how AlphaGo proved AI could navigate the world’s most complex challenges and better understand the vast complexities of the physical world.

This milestone served as the foundational spark for AlphaFold solving the 50-year-old “protein folding” problem. By finally mapping these 3D structures, AlphaFold opened the door to better understanding diseases and a new age of AI-driven scientific breakthroughs.
