Some changes have already come to Gemini app
Gemini is likely to get the lion’s share of reveals at I/O 2026, but eagle-eyed users have already spotted some changes rolling out to the Gemini app. There seems to be a new “Thinking level” menu rolling out to the app’s model picker, with “standard” and “extended” options added to the Fast and Pro models.
The Gemini app also seems to be prepping more integrations with third-party apps, with support documents suggesting support for Canva, Instacart, and OpenTable is on the way. Which means Gemini should be able to control these apps on your behalf, based on prompts you give it.
No doubt we’ll hear more during the I/O conference.
Gemini Remy could make its debut
Google has kept quiet about what I/O will have to offer, but it has teased a future of agentic AI. This means we may see it unveil some details about “Remy,” the codename attached to Google’s own personal AI agent.
According to reports, Remy is “your 24/7 personal agent for work, school and daily life, powered by Gemini.” It will apparently be able to interact with other Google services and be more advanced than the agentic features Google has already started rolling out to the Gemini app. That means handling tasks proactively, learning your own preferences, and keeping track of things that matter.
