Most coverage of Google I/O 2026 focused on the new search box and Gemini 3.5 Flash upgrades. But the detail that actually changes daily habits is this: Google's new information agents run 24/7 in the background, scanning the entire web on your behalf and sending push notifications when something relevant happens.
