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 August.

In August, we continued advancing AI responsibly — making it faster, more accessible, and truly practical for everyone, from software developers and students to creatives and scientists. We’re bringing intelligence directly to where people work and live, with powerful new hardware designed for Gemini in the Pixel 11 series, cost-efficient developer models like Gemini 3.7 Flash, the rollout of Gemini in Chrome on Android, and hands-free voice tools across Google Workspace and Gemini Live. As the Gemini app officially crossed 1 billion monthly users, we also expanded our creative and scientific footprint, introducing studio-quality video and music generation alongside open-source AI models that predict weather patterns and tackle climate challenges. Overall, August marked a shift toward AI that isn't just powerful in theory, but useful in everyday reality.
