Google I/O 2017 live event coverage

2017-05-17
oMG the Developer Preview of Android Oh has landed let's take a look Oh Oh we're back we're back in the scene that cave live was seeing that live here with the posse across me the lovely Lexi savita's Steven Beach I'm running the show because he's mr. octopus eight arms you don't you only see two of them you only see two of them but he runs this show by himself and our lovely producer executive Research Forum here in the corner she doesn't want to be shown body Ganon's in the house all right welcome everybody to seen that alive we are here to talk about Google i/o we do want to start off and give you a nice juicy picture from the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View where the keynote will be held at 10:00 a.m. we've got a cool hipster bounty in his head on the large screens but I think he's like doing something with like a tablet or a keyboard or a phone right there he's playing some music he's doing digital he's doing digital music right there apparently it's absolutely insanely loud that's what I was over the report it was like lost you were there last year I was there and it was deafening I was like what is this what's the deal wasn't there like a bird poopy incident oh also that's what birds flying around so it's Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View it's an open space that have a lot of live concerts there and there was an incident of several birds leaving their droppings like seagulls are keep whooping on people right but yeah you avoided that I did avoid it it was good luck so I mean supposed to be good luck right sorry so yes everybody welcome to the show this morning we are here to talk about everything Google that we are expecting to see here obviously the Google assistant in my mind's gotta be really the flagship thing that we see here amongst everything else for developer stuff but we want you all to be a part of the show how do you do that all right so there's many ways to interact and be a part of this shindig we call here CNET live first of all call us we want you to be a part of this the number one eight eight eight nine hundred cien ET or two six three eight or CNET CNET so one eight eight nine hundred cien ET call us we have our lovely Danielle who will take your calls put us on hold and may put you on hold and we need friends okay I thought this calls for saying my friends everybody needs a friend so we want to hear you know what you're expecting to see what you want to see if you have questions for us about Google i/o um we can do that but let's kind of jump in here and talk about the Google assistant I think it's really the leading thing we they showed it off last year we have it on the pixel it is at the moment in my mind and probably you're still the best virtual assistant out there right now we have Google's hooks um what are some of the things that you're hoping to see or just Google assistant in general what are your thoughts miss Lexi so last year at i/o the assistant was revealed as Brian said and we saw an amazing demonstration of how you could have a seamless conversation with the assistants so I think there was a family going about their everyday life you know just chilling in the kitchen and they decided they want to go and see a movie and so they had this conversation with the home and the assistant where they could actually talk and say hey I want to go see this movie what are some movie times and it would respond and it'll say who's starring in that you know movie I'd actually want to book some tickets if you try and do that with the assistant today well good you can't you can't you can't so I'm hoping that one year on Google is going to show us something exciting about the assistant involving a more conversational approach rather than having to go okay google tell me what movies are on near me and then okay Google and then Google assistant will go yeah don't have any answers boy I don't understand your request because that's what happens all the time when I use my Google fire.the the demo and beaches on the dock I think it's actually the first video link sundar pichai like showed off how super conversational was in a premade video where he first asked like who's the director of the revenant it showed the dry I can't remember the director's name off the top of my head he showed the director then he said um one of them you know what other movies has he directed what about family movies but it was a super organic way of talking you can kind of get maybe one level in with Google assistant and it does a lot of other amazing things but it wasn't nearly as conversational as natural and organic as they showed in the demo and that's what we're hoping to see I think also with the Google assistant even though it is number one at the moment obviously the AI space virtual assistant space there's tons of competition we have echo we have Cortana series on the fringe but they're going to work on it but it's still on the fringe and I think Google whatever they do to show us the new hooks and the things that they have they want to take another leap ahead they don't want to start they don't want to be part of that pack there they need it show us another jump because they have the lead definitely miss Bixby on that oh yeah sorry you're right you're right yeah Bixby yeah I mean even though on the s8 obviously we're not getting that entire full functionality that we were promised it's still something that's coming and Samsung's invested heavily in viv that other virtual assistant is very conversational and very Intel supposedly intelligent in that way so Google really needs to step up their game and also I have to say this IO has been the fewest rumors yeah the forehand so in terms of us kind of having a concrete idea of what's coming from Google there have been hardly any leaks on the bandwagon so that's one of two things either Google's got really good in locking down all of their leaks or there's not going to be anything interesting no hope it's I hope as a forum I really yeah absolutely so we have Google i/o and then Beach can you leave the number on the bottom we have someone call but then they just dropped off so if you guys and gals that are watching want to join us in conversation you can the other thing about the Google assistant is how it relates to the home last year we saw the home actually debut at Google i/o I really don't think they necessarily have to release a new piece of hardware we've seen how the echo itself is the same at least the original echo the tall larger one the 179 one is still the same form factor they actually haven't update anything they came out the echo dot and now the echo look and the Astro show so they have a whole family of stuff that quite honestly serves different purposes I don't think we really need to see a new Google home we just need to see advancements to the assistant they've already improved the assistant on the Google home to be able to support up to six users recognize you know for the most part we haven't we I don't I don't think anyone's really thoroughly test enough to be how well does it really make a distinction between six different people on a day to day basis that would be something that maybe a tech website that makes videos could possibly do I want to experiment and see who could do who could will could do that I want to try and fool it with different exit oh yeah exactly I want to see if it can understand me doing an American accent or you doing an Australian accent exactly faster whatever I think it would be fun III could do Bill Detweiler Zack cent if he's watching he's uh from our Kentucky team so but I won't but yeah haha he'll be he will not he will not like that no well he would you like it so Google home again this is going to be all about the assistant but another thing is that and now the phone lines are completely filled so we will get to those is awesome we're going to get Danielle to jump on those but another thing about just the Google assistant is sundar pichai has made it clear that they want this assistant to be everywhere it's you know really interesting alliances obviously the phone the pixel is kind of its debut and it it was a successful debut but it can get better like we talked about appliances they just made a deal with GE that's gonna be like packed in their into their appliances but beyond that and you know we can talk TVs cars I mean this is the future everyone's talking about is a I so are there any other devices that you know that you'd like to see it in or one well funnily enough because of the whole the one of the agreements that we do have is that maybe the assistant is coming to iOS now this this would be a big deal if we've said I mean Google has traditionally been really good in pushing out things to iOS first such as the G board the Google keyboard a lo got a bunch of or sorry not a low there was some other chat apps from Google like duo they can put us everything is pretty much cross-platform on Google so they're not too worried about keeping everything locked into the Android world unlike Apple who tries to keep everything in the iOS world so I think it's a possibility that we might see the assistant on iOS devices I don't know exactly how it would work and I don't know if this is going to be the unveiling of it but I know Google is very much open to the idea and as you're saying before Sundaya has talked about having the assistant across multiple devices maybe iOS is one of them I would love to hear from you guys if you think that the assistant is something that's likely to come to iOS Apple devices let us know give us a call jump on the hashtag see net live Daisy no lie and also we have to talk about the most important thing that is going to be possibly revealed today which is the name of Android Oh Android Oh oh don't loop that in any type of gif and send it to me on Twitter all right Oh loop it and send it to him all right so you know what let's get to some calls because we've got we've got a bunch on the line let's say let's see what we've got here I'm just gonna take this live welcome to Cena live this is Brian and Lexi and Stephen who are we talking to hi my name is Justin whatup Justin were you calling from I'm come from Arizona you don't know like big fans like oh my gosh this is so surreal Justin just round of applause my man this is this is surreal this is so real to me but surreal to you you know what I'm saying so what's up let's talk what's going on what's in your brain okay what's in my brain so my question is you would think they will show with Google pick food too and what features would you want there okay so I hate to break it to you they could surprise us again Lexie alluded the fact that they haven't really there really have been very few leaks here about the convention sorry the announcement here so that's exciting and it really is a developer conference or software but if you fall along to kind of what they did last year they show it off you know the latest flavor Android they showed off the assistant but they all the pixel in like October September October I think it was October and so our hunch is really that they're probably going to do the same thing people that have watched my stuff I was a huge fan of the pixel I mean it's it's my work phone the other thing about it is it was Google's first entry into the phone world and they came out strong with the best camera in the industry and the best virtual assistant so by having those two you know those two leading edge techs in their phone I've got a hope that they still keep those edges intact work on the form factor even more but again I don't expect us to see anything here in at Google i/o I think it's unlikely that we'll see hardware in terms of the pixel - I mean there there have been speculation about what it might possibly have obviously a faster processor I would like to see Google start to integrate some of their tango technology into their own phones rather than having other manufacturers like Lenovo and Asus trying to put it in other phones like um we have the fab 2 Pro and as the other as Suzanne thrown on the market the only to tango enabled phones and I know Google's trying to be pushing tango quite a lot but Justin I want to know like if there was a pixel to being announced today what sort of features would you want to see did he hang up oh we lose you Justin oh say night sorry I think I think something's going on with our phone lines but I mean I'm gonna take the next call and see what we got out there the fact that Google right now has a low he has hangouts and also has Google Voice to send text messages or or use your phone to take you dropped out you it's okay it's okay up top let's go here let's go here hold on one thing we have someone holding welcome to CNET live this is Brian Lexi and Stephen what's going on oh hey hi what's question you have for us welcome to the show what's your name where you from I know I'm coming from England right now whoo we like that what's your question I want to know if they're gonna bring em enjoy decision to iPhone well that's the rumor yeah you know we know that Google the Google app is on the iPhone there's plenty of people including our own Stephen Beecham who use the Google app for your search right constantly all the time on your iPhone yeah I used to use old now all the time also it was very helpful so to us it's an just seen how historically Google has built apps and developed for the Apple platform and knowing that come on you can't ignore the fact that there's this huge iOS community hundreds of millions of users it's going to get there we just we have heard the rumor it might show up here it would be smart fortwo so most likely yes but we'll see yes it would be really cool if there's a way to get it to be used outside the app that they're able to negotiate some contract with Apple that would that would be a dream come true if Apple would be like hey Google why don't you just take over Siri instead like right you can have your you can choose your default search engine on you choose your default voice assistant but unfortunately the way that Apple works that will never happen because Apple is all about their platform that they had built Siri for a reason if you recall Siri was really the first first virtual assistant on any phone that was a thing that they made like we're proud of this it never developed that much more it's getting hooks in the third-party apps finally how many years later from the forests own also we'll see how that all shakes out but thanks talking much for calling all right all right appreciate it okay bye we'll see ya all right we're gonna take is Scott on the line right now he is Scott is on the line but he needs to turn on this video okay so I wanted there you turn on your video Scott hey hey Scott can you hear us what happened you saying it it goes on I don't see you oh there you are I got you now alright ladies and gentlemen boys and girls Scott Stein in that fixie fixing his hair from Mountain View hair yeah just just make sure the quoc hey I make sure the coop is tight you make sure the coop is tight alright ah there's Andrew Gebhart hey so from our smart home team Andrew Gebhardt over there there's Richard you new here and is that Jess and it's Jessica and we've done indicating Scott's here who is who I'm here and Google IO is here we've got a big amphitheatre full of stuff and behind me is the collaborative bubble making app experience there's always something like you can blog in it you could add bubbles is what she's doing right now she's doing the bubbles on her phone huh we're seeing it was out alive Anna oh my gosh this is this is this is like Billy's people doing bubbles yeah these are like fans from the Warriors game yesterday they were so bored at that 36 point blowout they were just on their phone I saw that I was there that's you about time we're gonna do the wave soon I'm sure we like the new wave there's a lawn back back there people can sit all the way back on the lawn if you want to do and the bubble I don't know last year was like paper airplanes those are trance music there's like live kind of trancey music that's really loud nice what about what about the birds Scott have there been any incidences last year at i/o there were a lot of birds flying around and a lot of unexpected droppings happening is that happening this year so above me right now is a large canopy that that canopy nice for you looks fun dropped their poop that was a poop sent home last year and it's right above us right now and it's bird free so that's that's that's really good news that's the best news um we don't know if the birds are put off by the trance or whether they're going to return when it gets a little armored during the keynote and surprise us with pellets well nice work it's all part of the I imagine is France prize Hey hey Scott I'm so far real quick your phone is kind of breaking up but so we want to kind of get your thoughts in just because it's a little harder to hear anything that you feel we've talked about in here but kind of the thing that will stand out the most at Google i/o in your opinion sure so I think obviously we're gonna hear a lot about answering but I think beyond that how Google is attacking AI that is a continually interesting and globally of interest thing that Google is involved the machine learning AI how what they're going to do with it how will it affect their apps how will affect things like everything from YouTube to cameras to smart homes stuff so that's interesting and I'm curious about VR and AR I know it's died down a bit this year but it was a lot of investments in virtual reality even beyond daydream also AR they have that tango camera and they also are maybe going to blend those into things kind of like hololens so what's going on with that we're going to hear a little bit today and there's a whole keynote tomorrow just about the RNA are and then you know again like what's what's going on with the Android what's going on with them after Android like Google assistant you know School assistant going to end up in the post app world going to replace what we do within Android or is Google going to continue spreading on to other devices that are not just an Android you know iPhones and you know Brad and all the other things that they do so that's the most interesting stuff to me maybe we'll see some other crazy things like robots I don't know you never know there's always that interesting area though in IO that has all the experimental the developers that are working on crazy stuff you probably haven't got to see it yet but I'm really looking forward to seeing what everyone's been doing the experimental crazy stuff over at Google IO so I'm looking forward to seeing you hopefully can do Facebook live or something take us through there a bit later on yeah well connected after this at all dumps to do crazy like festival area mamasan boxes and like Lexi was saying it's like it could be anything so sometimes it's art projects sometimes it's like demoing apps and we don't know so that's going to be like later today and the days to come so it'll be really fun we'll definitely tune in with all the weird and tonight with some of the weird stuff in the party including whatever musical performances light shows and and experimental things they might have though wasn't it like a rave last year or something like that is something like that is like EDM it was like drunk medium yeah we were a hula hooping there was like a pirate ship Skip's truck with a klezmer band type thing there was a tango acquits shooting game where was like a virtual arcade there was a trance Seas type meditation room with VR where you could create art I tried to create art and then and I was not supposed to be on stage I got massive please get off z9j I do not go there yes I didn't know somebody I think Jessica told me to do that so it was her fault alright well hey hey Scott thanks so much for thanks so much for calling in and a buckle in will be you'll be starting about ten more minutes so we'll be good to go and thanks for all yeah thanks for all your work and dedication thank you thank you for all your work and dedication and we'll be tweeting you live and covering it so stay tuned we're just gonna eat hug this out okay you want out you want to eat here give us an e hug give us an e hug Scott oh very oh yeah that that is actually where my head Nestle's it Nestle's in your neck when we hug is that okay it's totally okay awkward it's 2017 that is totally okay nothing wrong whatsoever it seems yeah it's comfy it's it's comfy that's good all right Scott he's here bro okay thanks bye all right there you go Scott Stein in the house we're gonna jump in we're having a few issues with the phone line so if you called and you were dropped come back in we're working it out so we have a bunch of calls in here um we're sorry to Justin who got cut off a little earlier but um bro we got nothing but love for you okay so let's get jumping in here let's take this next call mr. Channing welcome to the show you're on scene that live hi prime what's up well you're here with Lexie and Steven um if you turn the volume of your computer down a little bit then you'll be able to hear us and then we can just jump right into it are you good to go yeah do you think Rafi is Chromebook features Oh that'll be and you know what it remains to see how much of Chrome OS they'll even show us there's there has been quite honestly not much buzz around it at all leading into Google i/o I know that we're hearing a lot about AI um we'll see because also the Chromebook space great for education it hasn't necessarily taken off in the consumer space and this is a developer place damn I got imagine they have all these um kind of separate developer workshops that they most like you might even show more there than they will at Google i/o but this is a good reason to tune in because we don't know if they'll actually show off anything related to Chrome OS or how much they'll show and Microsoft recently announced a bunch of Education laptops like the the surface laptop that is basically going to take try and take over some of that Chromebook market it was in education so I think Google obviously has this on the radar I don't know as Brian said if we're going to see it today but stay tuned because you never know what they're going to surprise us with during the keynote all right Channing yeah I can I talked to Brian the Bridger carry you could if she was here she's in New York so we'll send her she's probably watching and you want to if you have a personal message for her this is your time like you will never get another chance so what would you like to say to her but she's awesome Channing you're awesome yes you're you're awesome oh you're awesome all right - anything's Apple but on Thursday Oh always bro I'll be there for you I'm gonna give you a shout out all right to my boy Channing we'll catch you later man okay thank you awesome all right let's go over here we've got Ritchie and Belize is that correct Ritchie are you playing with us no I'm beneath Wow Wow I guess it is that makes sense this is this thing called the Internet the world wide web spread far and wide wait Fran this is this is Brian you can't can you tell oh my gosh man I mean it's been my dream talk to you personally man Richie let's get lit before before this gets awkward between us um what right right yeah I know you know we got to keep it cool right Google i/o what do you want to talk about well they just want to know exactly what's gonna happen you know software-wise will probably see something new you know the new updates but person that you know any any new changes like anything new anything is real or any rumors are gonna just pop up out of nowhere you know I'm just skeptical and whether I should go to Google or not oh so are you and are you telling me that you're an iOS user and you're you want to jump over but you're just not sure what they're going to show you that is convincing enough for you is that where you're at yes yeah that's where I am I'm using the iPhone service and I thought Eagle pixel but you know it looks okay but I'm not convinced so if I know if maybe what you're going to do today kind of convinced me to switch to Google Wallet Lexi lead with this and then see if I'll pick up the scraps well let's let's see obviously I mentioned a little before that Google is starting to bring a lot of features across to iOS so maybe you don't even need to transition if you want just features like possibly assistant you have access to all of the google chat apps hangouts gol oh the Google keyboard the Google Search app the Google app itself everything you could probably want in terms of a software side on Google you can pretty much get on iOS now it comes down to the hardware and we saw the pixel totally smash the iPhone 7 when it comes to the camera quality the hardware itself in terms of the physical form factor I wasn't a huge fan of the pixel when it first when I first handled it but it's definitely growing on me so it Brian's pointing to it he's in love with it he's in love with it I think it's a great it's it's a really nice feeling pony definitely grew on me and that blue color I love and it was their first phone for the record Google's first actual you know designed like their second one is gonna be sick I think I think they're gonna surprise but continuing I'm sorry I don't know that was that was pretty much my thought I want to hear what you think in terms of transitioning is is Google gonna reveal something that's gonna make Apple users go yeah I'm going I'm going Android I'm going Android know every you know what it is is this is really more of a Developers Conference anyway so this is all about software I like developer conferences because it tends to show us the stuff that we'll actually be able to do hardware is always hardware it really comes down to the platform you align with and like Lexi said you could basically Google out your phone your iPhone if you wanted to your mail like every right you can live in the Google ecosystem while being in the Apple ecosystem that's one of that's one of those rare instances where it actually works I think if you might be some people let's be honest get bored of iOS and I've got to tell you like the do Android once they went to material design it is flatter but it just feels really clean it's it's just a really clean OS that I enjoy and so I think they can show us more things like that they've already rolled out you know the Developer Preview Android Oh we'll see more of that today I think all the secrets are really there I don't know if they're gonna give us much more I think they'll probably be actual demonstrations of some of the features they announced for example Android oh one of the big things as picture-picture and I we didn't see that on the Developer Preview I loaded that onto a Nexus phone and I was like oh it can't wait to play with picture-in-picture no it doesn't work so hopefully we're going to see some actual demonstration of the demonstrations of that and a few little nuggets of extra surprises I'm looking forward to seeing how they kind of get us excited about Android is really the big thing is it's going to improve your battery life and that's not sexy I mean it is important it's important but it's not like wow I can have this amazing demonstration look everybody my battery lasted the whole day like it's like if you're gonna impress me with battery life it needs to be two day battery life and not one day double-double that baby so um Richie I don't know if we answered your question but I feel like look the I the next iPhone is coming out on the fall the pixel two is coming down on the fall so you got decisions to make bro yeah I mean at this point I'm very like reliant on the rumors that are going around I mean the iPhone late it sounds like a dream phone but I also want to see what Google has up their sleeve what what are they friends over there goes to meet and to win more customers for their ecosystem yep good man you know keep your mind open with tech I I think it's funny when people accuse me of being paid off by both Samsung and Apple I'm staying off by everybody I'm still trying to figure that out because of my wallet my wallet ain't getting bigger from either of those two companies let me tell you right now all right thanks for calling Richie we appreciate it take care of buddies all right all right no problem thank you okay so right now time time check the keynote is expected start in a couple minutes we have literally four calls on the line we've gone the call situation figured out I'm gonna jump over to Travis right now he's been waiting the longest sorry no no no I didn't I don't know I pressed the wrong thing Travis and Marilyn what's up my man good good thanks for calling me Lexie Steven in the house what do you want to talk about hopefully we get you in before the keynote starts okay great great um just two quick things um do you think that Google will ever come up with a new tablet this year [Laughter] talk about one and also do you think that we will get a snippet of how uh Anjali Oh we'll handle fragmentation I you know do first of all two great questions in regards to the tablet we know they have the pixel see my hunch just based on how the tablet industry is there they don't I don't know if there's necessarily compelling reason for them to just also and here's our newest tablet I think pixal see is more than capable it has that great you know kind of the keyboard case setup that you can use I just don't because the tablet market isn't hasn't grown anymore it just continues to decline I don't know if it makes sense for companies if they have a good enough tablet to release a new one I don't know it yeah I agree and on the fragmentation front that's a really interesting question androids had a lot of problems obviously they've acknowledged this over the years recommendation across devices if you just have a look at like how many people are currently running nougats it's like three percent something really really low under ten it's definitely definitely under ten so it's and like google has a lot of work to do I don't know if necessarily Android o is going to be able to address it in terms of kind of one whiz-bang feature that's going to do that because I think it's really going to be something about that Google has to kind of band all the manufacturers together in order to get from fragmentation to not be as big of an issue it's a really good luck yeah good luck it's just the nature of how Android was and it's why Android is the largest you know platform on phones because they were able to get into so many developers I just think it's kind of the the Curt the blessing and the curse of the direction that you choose that no matter what like she said nougat is less like with less than ten percent right that's pretty low for a phone platform to be up to date and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon even with Android oh all these manufacture you the new stuff you need new hardware to run this new stuff and it only androids on phones that are still being used from five six years ago that will never run nougat so I just think the nature of what they've accomplished to get it out there it's gonna be always be fragmented even the carrier relationships oh yeah to get it on the latest phone at the same time that Google releases it makes it hard and I think because Google got into the phone game with a pixel they're trying to get people to really get a pixel phone oh and so that's I think if you if you jump on that side of the hardware and you're like yeah you know what Samsung I love the look but I want something that I can update all the time and be on top of it I think they're really trying to push the hardcore Android users to get a pixel phone for this coming year so that's that's alright all right Travis thanks so much for calling my man we really appreciate that thank you all right take care you too alright um how are we doing with the keynote is it start you know they're still okay so then no one's on stage talking at the moment okay so again you'll stick with us we will show the live stream of Google i/o after the show we will be back people are still standing up so it looks like nothing has started yet um we're gonna take another call here and if we have to jump into it we will jump into it we've been waiting patiently waiting jari what's up Jerry this is Jerry yes oh joy here I'm sorry I'm sorry Jer welcome to the show get us your question because we want to make sure we get in before the keynote starts no problem so the only question I have is about the the dual application versus hangout versus a low yeah do you think do you think that Google will do a better move on trying to centralize this application into one that would do best the word you use exactly is centralize it they need to do that I think their hangouts product that was turned out more until kind of like their version of slack so I don't I think they're gonna keep that separate we'll see if Google's doing a low combine but we'll see that we might find out about that today so we're gonna jump into the keynote looks like they're starting it Gyre thanks for calling and we will be back after this to wrap things up with CNET live lexi in the house Stephen Beecham and see you call back then alright no problem drinking Fung all right take care good morning welcome to Google i/o I love you guys too can't believe it's one year already it's a beautiful day we've been joined by over 7000 people and we are live-streaming this as always - over 400 events in 85 countries last year was a tenth year since Google i/o started and so we moved it closer to home at Shoreline back where it all began seems to have gone well I checked the Wikipedia entry from last year there were some mentions of sunburn so we have plenty of sunscreen all around it's on us use it liberally it's been a very busy year since last year no different from my 13 years at Google that's because we've been focused evermore on our core mission of organizing the world's information and we are doing it for everyone and we approach it by applying deep computer science and technical insights to solve problems at scale that approach is served us very very well this is what has allowed us to scale up seven of our most important products and platforms to over a billion monthly active users each and it's not the not just the scale at which these products are working users engage with them very heavily YouTube's not just s over a billion users but every single day uses watch over 1 billion hours of videos on YouTube Google Maps every single day users navigate over 1 billion kilometers with Google Maps so the scale is inspiring to see and there are other products approaching the scale we launched Google Drive five years ago and today it is over 800 million monthly active users and every single week there are over 3 billion objects uploaded to Google drive two years ago at Google i/o we launched photos as a way to organize users photos using machine learning and today we are over 500 million active users and every single day users upload 1.2 billion photos to Google so the scale of these products are amazing but they're all still working up their way towards Android which I'm excited as of this week we crossed over 2 billion active devices of Android as you can see that the robot is pretty happy - behind me so it's a privilege to serve users of this scale and this is all because of the growth of mobile and smartphones but computing is evolving again we spoke last year about this important shift in computing from a mobile first to a AI first approach mobile made us reimagine every product we were working on we had to take into account that the user interaction model it fundamentally changed with multi-touch location identity payments and so on similarly in AI first world we are rethinking all our products and applying machine learning and AI to solve user problems and we are doing this across every one of our products so today if you use Google search we rank differently using machine learning or if you're using Google Maps Street View automatically recognizes restaurant signs street signs using machine learning duo with video calling uses machine learning for low bandwidth situations and smart reply in a low last year had great reception and so today we are excited that we are rolling out smart reply 2 or 1 billion users of Gmail it works really well here's a sample email if you get an email like this the machine learning systems learn to be conversational and it can reply and find with Saturday or what so it's really nice to see just like with every platform shift how users interact with computing changes mobile brought multi-touch we evolved beyond keyboard and mouse similarly we now have ways and vision as new to new important modalities for computing humans are interacting with computing in more natural and immersive ways let's start with voice we've been using voice as an input across many of our products that's because computers are getting much better at understanding speech we have had significant breakthroughs but the pace and even since last year has been pretty amazing to see our word error rate continues to improve even in very noisy environments this is why if you speak to Google on your phone or Google home we can pick up your voice accurately even in noisy environments when we were shipping Google home we had originally planned to include 8 microphones so that we could accurately locate the source of weather where the user was speaking from but thanks to deep learning use a technique called neural beamforming we were able to ship it with just two microphones and achieve the same quality deep learning is what allowed us about two weeks ago to announce support for multiple users in Google home so that we can recognize up to 6 people in your house and personalize the experience for each and every one so voice is becoming an important modality in our products the same thing is happening with vision similar to speech we are seeing great improvements in computer vision so when we look at a picture like this we are able to understand the attributes behind the picture we realize it's your boy in a birthday party there was cake and family in wall and your boy was happy so we can understand all that better now and our computer vision systems now for the task of image recognition are even better than humans so it's us Starlin progress and we using it across our products so if you use the Google pixel it has the best-in-class camera and we do do a lot of work with computer vision you can take a low-light picture like this which is noisy and we automatically make it much clearer for you or coming or coming very soon if you take a picture of your daughter at a baseball game and there is something obstructing it we can do the hard work remove the obstruction and have the picture of what matters to you in front of you we are clearly at an inflection point with vision and so today we are announcing a new initiative called Google lense Google lens is a set of vision based computing capabilities that can understand what you're looking at and help you take action based on that information we will ship it first in Google assistant and photos and I will come to other products so how does it work so for example if you run into something and you want to know what it is say a flower you can invoke google lens from your assistant point your phone at it and we can tell you what florida's it's great for someone like me with allergies or if you've ever been at a friend's place and you've crawled under a desk just to get the username and password from a Wi-Fi router you can point your phone at and we can automatically do the hard work for you or if you're walking in a street downtown and you see a set of restaurants across you you can point your phone because we know where you are and we have our knowledge graph and we know what you're looking at we can give you the right information in a meaningful way as you can see we are beginning to understand images and videos all of Google was built because we started understanding text and webpages so the fact that computers can understand images and videos has profound implications for our core mission when we started working on search we wanted to do it at scale this is why we rethought our computational architecture we designed our data centers from the ground up and we put a lot of effort in them now that we are evolving for this machine learning and AI will we are rethinking our computational architecture again we are building what we think of as AI first data centers this is why last year we launched the tensor processing units they are custom hardware for machine learning they were about 15 to 30 times faster on 30 to 80 times more power efficient than CPUs and GPUs at that time we use DP use across all our products every time you do a search every time you speak to Google in fact DP user what powered alphago in its historic match against lace at all as you know machine learning has two components training that is how we build a neural Atlee we you know training is very computationally intensive and inference is what we do at real time so that when you showed a picture we recognize whether it's a dog or a cat and so on last year's TPU software optimized for inference training is computationally very intensive to give you a sense each one of our machine translator in models takes a training of over three billion words for a week on about hundred GPUs so we've been working hard and I'm really excited to announce our next generation of TP use cloud TP use which are optimized for both training and inference what you see behind me is one cloud TPU board it has four chips in it and each board is capable of 180 trillion floating-point operations per second and you know we've designed it for our data center so you can easily start them you can put 64 of these into one big supercomputer we call these TPU parts and each part is capable of 11.5 peda flops it is an important advance in technical infrastructure for the AI era the reason we enable the named it cloud TPU is because we are bringing it through the Google cloud platform so cloud TP users are coming to Google compute engine as of today we want Google cloud to be the best cloud for machine learning and so we want to provide our customers with a wide range of hardware beats CPUs GPUs including the great GPUs Nvidia announced last week and now clout GPUs so this lays the foundation for significant progress so we have focused on driving the shift and applying AI to solving problems at Google we are bringing our AI efforts together under Google da di it's a collection of efforts and teams across the company focused on bringing the benefits of AI to everyone Google dot a I will focus on three areas state-of-the-art research tools an infrastructure like tensorflow and cloud TB use and apply day I so let me talk a little bit about these areas talking about research we are excited about designing better machine learning models but today it is really time consuming it's a painstaking effort of a few engineers and scientists mainly machine learning PhDs we want it to be possible for hundreds of thousands of developers to use machine learning so what better way to do this then getting neural nets to design better neural nets we call this approach Auto mo it's learning to learn so the way it works is we take a set of candidate neural nets think of these as little baby neural nets and we actually use a neural net to iterate through them till we arrive at the best neural net we use a reinforcement learning approach and it's the results are promising to do this is computationally hard but cloud tipi use put it in the realm of possibility we are already approaching state-of-the-art in standard tasks like C for image recognition so whenever I spend time with the team and think about neural nets building their own neural nets it reminds me of one of my favorite movies Inception and I tell them we must go deeper so we are taking all these AI advances and applying them to newer harder problems across a wide range of disciplines one such area is healthcare last year I spoke about our work on diabetic retinopathy it's a preventable cause of blindness this year we published a paper in the Journal of American Medical Association and verily is working on bringing products to the medical community another such areas pathology pathology is a very complex area if you take an area like breast cancer diagnosis even amongst highly trained pathologist agreement on some forms of breast cancer can be as low as 48 percent that's because they're each pathologist is reviewing the equivalent of thousand 10 megapixel images for every case this is a large data problem but one which machine learning is uniquely equipped to solve so we built neural nets to detect cancer spreading to adjacent lymph nodes it's early days but our neural nets show a much higher degree of accuracy 89 percent compared to previous methods of 73 percent there are important caveats we do have higher false positives but already giving this in the hands of pathologists they can improve diagnosis in general I think this is a great approach for machine learning providing tools for people to do what they do better and we are applying it across even basic sciences take biology we are training neural nets to improve the accuracy of DNA sequencing deep variant is a new tool from Google da di that identifies genetic variants more accurately than state-of-the-art methods reducing errors is important applications we can more accurately identify whether or not a patient as genetic disease and can help it better diagnosis in Freedman we are applying it to chemistry we are using machine learning to predict the properties of molecules today it takes an incredible amount of computing resources to hunt for new molecules and we think we can accelerate timelines by orders of magnitude this opens up possibilities in drug discovery or material sciences I'm entirely confident one day I will invent new molecules with that behave in predefined ways not everything we are doing is so profound you know we are doing even simple and fun things like a simple tool which can help people draw we call this order draw just like today when you type in Google we give you suggestions we can do the same when you're trying to draw even I can draw it this time so it may look like fun and games but pushing computers to do things like this this is what helps them be creative and actually gain knowledge so we're very excited about progress even in these areas as well so we're making impressive progress in applying machine learning and we applying it across all our products but the most important product we are using this is for Google search in Google assistant we are evolving Google search to being more assistive for our users this is why last year at Google i/o we spoke about the assistant and since then we've launched on Google pixel and Google home and today it's available on over 100 million videos Scott and team are going to talk more about it but before that let's take a look at the many amazing ways people have been using the Google assistant ok Google Hey play some dance music sure this is fresh air my guests will be Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix okay Google count to 100 sure one two three play vacuum harmonica on my TV 71 72 73 play the Wonder Woman trailer hey Google talk to dominate dr. Lonely Planet talk to Korra show me my folders from last weekend your car is parked at 22b today in the news turn the living room lights on okay turning on the lights back baby hey Google drop a beat flip a coin call Jill set a timer talk to heads base and then just for a moment I'd like you to let go of any focus at all just let your mind do whatever it wants to do hey everyone last year at i/o we introduced the Google assistant a way for you to have a conversation with Google to get things done in your world today as sundar mentioned we're well on our way with the assistant available on over a hundred million devices now just as Google search simplified the web and made it more useful for everyone your Google assistant simplifies all the technology in your life you should be able to just express what you want throughout your day and the right thing should happen that's what the Google assistant is all about it's your own individual Google that video we saw really captures the momentum of this project we've made such big strides and there's so much more to talk about today the assistant is becoming even more conversational always available wherever you need it and ready to help get even more things done first we fundamentally believe that the Google assistant should be hands down the easiest way to accomplish tasks and that's through conversation it comes so naturally to humans and now Google is getting really good at conversation to almost 70 percent of requests to the assistant are expressed in natural language not the typical keywords that people type in a search box and many requests are follow-ups that continue the conversation we're really starting to crack the hard computer science challenge of conversation allottee by combining our strengths in speech recognition natural language understanding and contextual meaning now recently we made the assistant even more conversational so each member of the family gets relevant responses just for them by asking with their own voice and we're continuing to make interacting with your assistant more natural for example it doesn't always feel comfortable to speak out loud to your assistant so today we're adding the ability to type to your assistant on the phone now this is great when you're in a public place and you don't want to be overheard the assistants also learning conversation beyond just words with another person it's really natural to talk about what you're looking at sundar spoke earlier about how AI and deep learning have led to tremendous strides in computer vision soon with the smarts of Google lens your assistant will be able to have a conversation about what you see this is really cool and Ibrahim is here to help me show you a couple examples of what we'll launch in the coming months so last time I traveled to a Saka I came across a line of people waiting to try something that smelled amazing now I don't speak Japanese so I couldn't read the sign out front but Google Translate knows over a hundred languages and my assistant will help with visual translation I just tap the google lens icon point the camera and my assistant can instantly translate them into English and now I continue the conversation what does it look like these pictures should match all right it looks pretty yummy now notice I never had to type the name of the dish my assistant used visual context and answered my question conversationally let's look at another example some of the most tedious things I do on my phone stem from what I see a business card I want to save details from a receipt I need to track and so on with google lens my assistant will be able to help with those kinds of tasks too I love live music and sometimes I see info for shows around town that look like fun now I can just tap the google lens icon and point the camera at the markie my assistant instantly red-eyes is what I'm looking at now if I wanted to I could tap to hear some of this band songs and my assistant offers other helpful suggestions right in the viewfinder there's one to buy tickets from tech aster and another to add the show to my calendar with just a tap my assistant adds the concert details to my schedule saving event save stone foxes for May 17th at 9 p.m. awesome my assistant helped me keep track of the event so I won't miss the show and I didn't have to open a bunch of apps or type anything thanks you for him so that's how the assistant is getting better at conversation by understanding language and voices with new input choices and with the power of google lens second the assistant is becoming a more connected experience that's available everywhere you need help from your living room to your morning jog from your commute to errands around town your assistant should know how to use all of your connected devices for your benefit now we're making good progress and bringing the assistant to those 2 billion phones and other devices powered by Android like TVs wearables and car systems and today I'm excited to announce that the Google assistant is now available on the iPhone so no matter what smartphone you use you can now get help from the same smart assistant throughout the day at home and on the go the assistant brings together all your favorite google features on the iPhone just ask to get package delivery details from Gmail watch videos from your favorite YouTube creators get answers from Google search and much more you can even turn on the lights and heat up the house before you get home now Android devices and iPhones are just part of the story we think the assistance should be available on all kinds of devices where people might want to ask for help the new Google assistant SDK allows any device manufacturer to easily build the Google assistant into whatever they're building speakers toys drink mixing robots whatever crazy device all of you think up now can incorporate the Google assistant now we're working with many of the world's consumer brands and their suppliers so keep an eye out for the badge that says Google assistant built-in when you do your holiday shopping this year now obviously another aspect of being useful to people everywhere is support for many languages I'm excited to announce that starting this summer the Google assistant will begin rolling out in French German Brazilian Portuguese and Japanese on both Android phones and iPhones by the end of the year will also support Italian Spanish and Korean so that's how the assistant is becoming more conversational and how it will be available in even more context finally the assistant needs to be able to get all kinds of useful things done for people you know people sometimes ask if the assistant is just a new way to search now of course you can ask your assistant to get all sorts of answers from Google search but beyond finding information users are also asking the assistant to do all sorts of things for them now as you've already seen the assistant can tap into capabilities across many google apps and services but Google's features are just part of the story we also opened the assistant to third-party developers who are building some really useful integrations I'll turn it over to Valerie to share more about how the developer platform is getting stronger hi okay so the actions on Google platform it's been awesome to see how developers like you have been gauging with the Google assistant like honestly you have built some really cool integrations like I can ask food network about the recipe that's on TV right now I can work out with fitstar ask CNBC about the news or my husband and I could play name that tune with song pop which he is surprisingly good at until now these experiences have been available through the assistant on Google home but today we're also bringing them to Android phones and iPhones it's over 100 million devices on android alone so now people can get to Google features and third-party services from anywhere and they can even pick up are they left off across devices so not only our third-party integrations available in more places they'll be able to do more starting today actions on Google will be supporting transactions it's a complete end-to-end solution for developers including payments identity notifications receipts even account creation the platform handles all the complexity let me show you how one will work hi how can I help I'd like delivery from Panera hi this is vedera I'll need your delivery address which one can I get from Google will go at 1600 Amphitheatre what can I get you started with of a strawberry poppy seed salad with steak instead of chicken got it how about one of these cold drinks here I can just swipe through my options see what looks good I got eliminated great are you ready to checkout yep okay the total is eighteen dollars and forty cents are you ready to place the order yes I'll just scan my fingerprint to pay with Google and that's it thanks yeah super easy like I was talking to someone at the store so here I was a new Panera customer I didn't have to install anything or create an account you'll also probably noticed I didn't have to enter my address or my credit card I just saved those earlier with Google and Panera used built-in platform calls to request the information now I was in control over what I shared every step of the way so the developer platform is also getting much stronger for home automation integrations actions on Google can now support any smart home developer that wants to add conversational control today over 70 smart home companies work with the Google assistant so now on my google home or from my phone I can lock my front door with August locks control a range of LG appliances or check in on my son's room by putting the nest cam on TV alright now that we're talking about making your home smarter we also have a lot of news to share today about Google home our own smart speaker with the Google assistant built-in here to tell you more is Rishi Chandra thanks Valerie you know it's really hard to believe we launched Google home a little over six months ago and we've been really busy ever since since launch we've added 50 new features including some of my favorites like the support for Google Shopping where I can use my voice to order items from Costco right to my front door or I can get step-by-step cookie instructions from over five million recipes or I can even play my favorite song just by using the lyrics now in April we launched in the UK to some great reviews and starting this summer we're going to be launching in Canada Australia France Germany and Japan and with support for multiple users we can unlock the full potential of Google home to offer a truly personal experience so now you can schedule a meeting set a reminder or get your own daily briefing it's my day by using your own voice and get your commute your calendar appointments and your news sources now today like a short share for new features we'll be rolling out over the coming months so first we're announcing support for proactive assistance coming to Google home home is great at providing personally relevant information for you when you ask for it but we think it'd be even more helpful it can automatically notify you those timely and important messages and we do this by understand the context of your daily life and proactive looking for that really helpful information and providing it for you in a hands-free way so for example let's say I'm relaxing and playing game with the kids well I can see that the Google home lights just turned on hey Google what's up hi Ritchie traffic's heavy right now so you'll need to leave in 14 minutes to get to shoreline athletic fields by 3:30 p.m. that's pretty nice the assistant saw the game coming up on my calendar and got my attention because I had to leave earlier than normal so now my daughter can make it to that soccer game right on time now we're going to start simple with really important messages like reminders traffic delays and flight status changes and with multiple user support you'll have the ability to control the type of proactive notifications you want over time all right second another really common activity we do in the home today is communicate with others and a phonecall is still the easiest way to reach someone so today I'm excited to announce hands-free calling coming to Google home it's really simple to use just ask the Google assistant to make a call and we'll connect you you can call any landline or mobile number in the US or Canada completely free and it's all done in a hands-free way for example let's say I forgot to call my mom on Mother's Day well now I can call her while I'm scrambling to get the kids ready for school in the morning I just need to say hey Google call mom sure calling mom oh yeah finally calling but this day was three days ago yeah sorry about that they may even rehearse for i/o on Mother's Day speaking of which you're on stage right now say hi to everyone so hopefully this makes up for not calling right no it doesn't you don't need to visit and bring flowers okay I'm on it bye bye it's that simple we're just making a standard phone call through Google home so mom didn't need to learn anything new she just need to answer her phone there's no additional setup apps or even phone required and since the assistant recognized my voice we called my mom if my wife had asked we would have called her mom we can personalize calling just like everything else and now anyone in the home can call friends family even businesses maybe on a local florist to get some flowers for your mom now by default we're going to call it with a private number but you also have the option to link your mobile number to the Google assistant and we'll use that number whenever we recognize your voice so whoever you call what's notes coming from you now we're rolling out hands-free calling the us to all existing Google home devices over the next few months it's the ultimate hands-free speakerphone no setup required call anyone including personal contacts or businesses and even dial out with their personal number when we detect you voice we can't wait for you to try it out okay third let's talk a little bit about entertainment we designed Google home to be a great speaker one that you can put in any room in the house or wirelessly connect to other chromecast built-in speaker systems well today we're announcing that Spotify in addition to their subscription service will be adding their free music service to Google home so it's even easier to play your Spotify playlist we'll also be adding support for SoundCloud and deezer to the largest global music services today and these music services will join many the others already available through the assistance and finally we'll be adding bluetooth support to all existing Google home devices so you can play any audio from your iOS or Android device but Google home can do much more than just audio last year we launched the ability to use your voice to play YouTube Netflix and Google photos right on your TV and today we're announcing additional partners including HBO now so just say what you want to watch and we'll play it for you all on a hands-free way with Google home we want to make it really easy to play your favorite entertainment ok finally I want to talk a little bit how we see the assistant evolving to help you in a more visual way voice responses are great but sometimes that pictures worth a thousand words so today we're announcing support for visual responses with Google home now to do that we need to scream well fortunately many of us already have a ton of screens in our home today our phones our tablets even our TVs the Google assistant should smartly take advantage of all these different devices to provide you the best response on the right device for example with Google home I can easily get location information ok Google where's my next event your Pokemon go hike is at Rancho San Antonio reserved for my kids my kids relax but if I want to view the directions the best place to do it is on my phone well soon you could just say ok Google let's go all right I'm sending the best route to your phone it will automatically your phone notify your phone whether it's Android or iOS and take you straight to Google Maps so you can glance at directions interact with the map or just start navigation it's really simple now TVs are another natural place to get help from the Google assistant and we have a great place to start with over 50 million chromecast and chromecast built-in devices so today we're announcing that we'll be updating chromecast to show visual responses on your TV when you ask for help for google home for example I can now say ok Google show my calendar for Saturday showing it on your TV it'll show up right on the TV screen immediately get results from the assistant and since the assistant detected my voice we're showing my calendar others will see their calendar by using their their voice we can personalize the experience even on the TV they can continue to follow up the conversation looks like I have a biking trip to Santa Cruz what's the weather in Santa Cruz this weekend this weekend in Santa Cruz it will be clear and sunny most of the time so it's really easy it's all hands-free your assistant could provide a visual response to a TV to a lot of different types of questions you know we talked how easy it is to play what you want to watch on the TV screen but what about those times you don't know what to watch well soon you could just ask hey Google what's on YouTube here you go and show me my personalized results right on a TV screen if I don't like any options I can continue the conversation with my voice show my watch later list alright play send my love playing send my love from YouTube it's really simple again no remotes or phone required in a short conversation I found something really interesting to watch using Google home I can even do with other things okay Google what's on my DVR here you go here we're showing how it works as YouTube TV a new live TV streaming service that gives you live sports and shows from popular TV networks and YouTube TV includes a cloud DVR so I can easily play my saved episodes play Modern Family okay playing modern family from YouTube TV you guys have a too easy nowadays you can just lay around even sack saying okay googled in the kitchen lights sure thing dad ok Google show me a video of a kangaroo playing Bevan with a pirate short playing on YouTube what I had a similar reaction the first time I saw it everything can be done in a hands-free way all from the comfort of my couch and over time we're gonna bring all those developer actions that Valerie already talked about right to the TV screen so we do even more over time with Google home and when you're done just say ok Google turn off the TV sure and that's our update for Google home proactive assistance to bring important information to you at the right time simple and easy hands-free calling more entertainment options and evolving the assistant provide visual responses in the home next up is Anil who's going to talk about Google photos two years ago we launched Google photos with Anna daesh's goal to be the home for all your photos automatically organized and brought to life so that you could easily share and save what matters in doing so we took a fundamentally different approach we built a product from the ground up with AI at its core and that's enabled us to do things in ways that only Google can like when you're looking for that one photo you can't find Google photos organizes your library by people places and things simply type a nail pineapple Hawaii and instantly find this gem or when you come home from vacation overwhelmed by the hundreds of photos you took Google photos will give you an album curated with only the best shots removing duplicates and blurring images this is the secret ingredient behind Google photos and the momentum we've seen in these two short years is remarkable as sundar mentioned we now have more than half a billion monthly active users uploading more than 1.2 billion photos and videos per day and today I'm excited to show you three new features we're launching to make it even easier to send and receive the meaningful moments in your life now at first glance it might seem like photo sharing is a solved problem after all there's no shortage of apps out there that are great at keeping you and your friends and family connected but we think there's still a big and different problem that needs to be addressed let me show you what I mean if there's one thing you know it's that you're a great photographer if there's a second thing you know it's that you're kind of a terrible person what yeah you heard me the only photo of the birthday girl in focus never sent it the best picture of the entire wedding kept it to yourself this masterpiece of your best friend we are gonna send it but then you were like oh remember that sandwich I love that sandwich if only something could say hey Eric looks great in these you want to send them to him and you could be like great idea well it can wait it can yep with Google photos so today to make us all a little less terrible people we're announcing suggested sharing because we've all been there right like when you're taking that group photo and you insist that it be taken with your camera because you know if it's not on your camera you are never seeing that photo ever again now thanks to the machine learning in Google photos will not only remind you so you don't forget to share will even suggest the photos and people you should share with in one tap you're done let's have a look at suggested sharing in action I'm once again joined on stage by my friend and Google Photos product lead David Lieb all right so here a bunch of photos Dave took while bowling with the team last weekend he was too busy enjoying the moment so he never got around to sharing them but this time Google photo sentiment reminder via notification and also by badging the new sharing tab the sharing tab is where you're gonna be able to find all of your Google photo sharing activity and at the top your personal suggestions based on your sharing habits and what's most important to you here is the sharing suggestion that Dave got from his day bowling Google Photos recognized this was a meaningful moment it's selected right shots and it figured out who he should send it to based on who was in the photos in this case it's John V Jason and a few others who are also at the event Dave can now review the photos elected as well as update the recipients or if he's happy with it he can just tap send and that's it Google photos will even send an SMS or an email to anyone who doesn't have the app and that way everyone can view and save the full resolution photos even if they don't have Google Photos accounts and because Google photo sharing works on any device including iOS let's have a look at what john VIII sees on her iPhone she receives a notification and ting on it lets her quickly jump right into the album and look at all the rows that Dave is shared with her but notice here at the bottom she's asked to contribute the photo she took from the event Google photos automatically identifying and suggesting the right ones John we can review the suggestions and then simply tap add now all of the photos are finally pooled together in one place and Dave get some photos he's actually in which is great because a home for all your photos really should include photos of you now even though suggested sharing takes the work out of sharing sometimes there's a special person in your life who you share just about everything with your what partner your best friend your sibling would it be great if Google photos automatically shared photos with that person for example I would love it if every photo I ever took of my kids was automatically shared with my wife and that's why today we're also announcing shared libraries let me show you how it works so here we're now looking at my google photos account from the menu I now the option to go ahead and share my library which I'm going to go ahead and do with my wife Jess importantly I have complete control over which photos I automatically are I can share them all or I can share a subset like only photos of the kids or only photos from a certain date forward like when we first met in this case I'm gonna go ahead and share all we did not meet today and that's all there is to it I've now gone ahead and shared my library with my wife Jess so let's switch to her phone to see what the experience looks like from her end she receives a notification and after accepting she can now go to see all the photos that I've shared with her we can access Leeza Lee from the menu if she sees something she likes she can go ahead and select those photos and stuff save them to her library will even notify her periodically as I take new photos now this is great but what if just doesn't want to have to keep coming back to this view and checking if I shared new photos for her with her she just wants every photo I take of her or the kids to automatically be safe to her library just as if she took the photos herself with shared library she'd do just that choosing to audit a photos specific people now anytime I take photos of her or the kids without either of us having to do anything they'll automatically appear in the main view of a wrap let me show you now I couldn't justify pulling the kids out of school today just to have their photo taken but I do have the next best thing all right maitre de su to Ava and Lily all righty here so I'm gonna go ahead take a photo with the girls smile kids fantastic and since this is too good of an opportunity I'm gonna have to take one with all of you here too all right there we go Oh brilliant all right okay so thank you girls much appreciated back to school we go all right so using nothing more than the standard camera app on my phone I've gone ahead and taken one photo with my kids in one photo with all of you here in the audience Google photos is going to back these two photos up it's going to share them with Jess and then it's going to recognize the photo that has kids in them and automatically save just that one to her Liebig like you can see right here now finally Jess and I can stop worrying about whose phone were using to take the photos all the photos of family are in my Google Photos app and they automatically appear in hers too and best of all these family photos are part of both of our search results and they're included in the great collages movies and other fun creations that Google photos makes for us but notice how only the photos with the kids showed up in Jess's main view but because I shared my entire library with her I can Slee go to the menu and Jess can now see all the photos including the one with all of you and that's how easy sharing can be in Google Photos spend less time worrying about sharing your memories and more time actually enjoying them suggested sharing and shared libraries will be rolling out on Android iOS and web in the coming weeks finally we know sharing doesn't always happen through apps and screens there's still something pretty special about looking at and even gathering around an actual printed photo but printing photos and albums today is hard you have to hunt across devices and accounts to find the right photos select the best among the duplicates and blurring images upload them to a printing service and then arrange them across dozens of pages it can take hours of sitting in front of a computer just to do one thing thankfully our machine learning and Google photos already does most of this work for you and today we're bringing it all together with the launch of photo books they're beautiful high quality with a clean and modern design but the best part is that they're incredibly easy to make even on your phone what used to take hours now only takes minutes I recently made a book for Jess on Mother's Day and let me show you just how easy and fast that was first thanks to unlimited storage all my life's moments are all up here in google photos no need to upload them to another website or app now my favorite way start a book is to use people search since this is a Mother's Day gift I'm gonna simply find photos of Jess Ava and Lily there they are alright I thought I took more photos alright so why don't we just go and pick another set of photos Dave if that one's not coming up just it'll be a fun Mother's Day gift for her she'll get a different surprise so I'll select a bunch of fussier and the good news is I don't have to figure out which are the right photos and which are the good ones because this is where Google photos really shines I'm just going to go ahead and hit plus select photo book I'm going to pick a hardcover book we offer both a soft cover and a hard cover and notice what happens Google photos is going to make the best photos for me automatically automatically suggesting photo for in this case how awesome is that and it's even going to go ahead and lay them all out for me all that's left for me to do is make a couple of tweaks check out and in a few days I'll end up with one of these beautiful printed photo books and soon we'll make it even easier to get started applying machine learning to create personalized photo books you'll love so when you go to photo books from the menu you'll see pre-made books tailored just for you your trip to the Grand Canyon time with your family during the holidays or your pet or even your kids artwork all easily customizable we'll even notify you when there are new photo book suggestions photo books are available today in the US on photos google comm and they'll be rolling out on Android and iOS next week and we'll be expanding to more countries soon I am really excited about this launch and I want all of you to be the first to try it out and that's why everyone here at i/o will be receiving a free hardcover photo book it's a great example of machine learning at work so those are the three big updates related to sharing in Google photos suggested sharing shared libraries and photo books three new features built from the ground up with AI at their core I can't wait for all of you to try them out real soon now before I go I want to touch on what sundar mentioned earlier which is the way we're taking photos is changing instead of the occasional photo with friends and family we now take 30 identical photos of a sunset we're also taking different types of photos not just photos to capture a personal memory but as a way to get things done whiteboards we want to remember receipts we need to file books we'd like to read and that's where Google lends and its vision based computing capabilities comes in it can understand what's in an image and help you get things done Scott showed how Google lens in the assistant can identify what you're looking at and help you on the fly but what about after you've taken the photo there are lots of photos you want to keep and then look back on later to learn more and take action and for that we're bringing google lens right into Google photos let me show you so let's say you took a trip to Chicago there's some beautiful architecture there and during your boat tore down the Chicago River you took lots of photos but it's hard to remember which building is which later on now by activating lens you can identify some of the cool buildings in your photos like the second tallest skyscraper in les Willis Tower you can even pull up directions and get the hours for the V deck and later welcoming the Art Institute you might take photos of a few paintings you really love in one tap you can learn more about the painting and the artist and the screen shot that your friend sent you of that bike rental place just adding lens you can tap the phone number and make the call right from the photo lenz we'll be rolling out in google photos later this year and we'll be continually improving the experience so it recognizes even more objects and lets you do even more with them and those are the updates for google photos now let's see what's next from YouTube look at that oh my god Wow check this out open the hatch we are one species sharing one profoundly interconnected world don't let them convince you that you're small because a lot of small things coming together can do big things love is love is love is love is love cannot be killed or shut the sight now fill the world with music love and pride all right good morning everyone I am thrilled to be here at my first ever IO on behalf of YouTube so that opening video that we all just saw that's a perfect glimpse into what makes YouTube so special the incredible diversity of content a billion people around the globe come to YouTube every month to watch videos from new and unique voices and we're hard at work to make sure that we can reach the next billion viewers which you'll hear about in a later i/o session today we want to give everyone the opportunity to watch the content on YouTube so YouTube is different from traditional media in a number of ways first of all YouTube is open anyone in the world can upload a video that everyone can watch you can be a vlogger broadcasting from your bedroom a gamer live-streaming from your console or citizen journalist documenting events live from your phone on the front lines and what we've seen is that openness leads to important conversations that help shape society from advancing LGBTQ rights to highlighting the plight of refugees to encouraging body positivity and we've seen in our numbers that you just really want to engage with this type of diverse content we are proud that last year we passed a billion hours a day being watched on YouTube and our viewership is not slowing down the second way that YouTube is different from traditional media is that it's not a one-way broadcast it's a two-way conversation viewers interact directly with their favorite creators via comments mobile live-streaming fan polls animated gifs and VR and these features enable viewers to come together and to build communities around their favorite content so one of my favorite stories of a YouTube community is the enable network a few years ago an engineering professor named Jon Schull saw a YouTube video about a carpenter who had lost two of his fingers the carpenter worked with a colleague for over a year to build an affordable 3d printed prosthesis that would enable him to go back to work they then applied this technology for a young boy who was born without any fingers so inspired by this video the professor posted a single comment on the video asking for volunteers with 3d printers to help print affordable prosthesis the network has since grown into a community of over 6,000 people who have designed printed and distributed these prosthetics to children in over 50 countries so today thousands of children have regained the ability to walk touch play and all because of the one video one comment and that incredible YouTube community that formed to help and that's just one example of the many passionate communities that are coming together on YouTube around video so the third feature of this new medium is that video works on demand on any screen over 60% of our watch time now comes from mobile devices but actually our fastest growing screen isn't the one in your pocket it's the one in your living room our watch time in our living room is growing at over six ninety percent a year so let's now welcome Sarah Ali head of living room products to the stage to talk about the latest features in the living room Thank You Susan so earlier today you heard from Rishi about how people are watching YouTube on the TV via the assistant but another way people are enjoying video is through the YouTube app which is available on over half a billion Smart TVs game consoles and streaming devices and that number continues to grow around the world so when I think about why YouTube is so compelling in the living room it isn't just about the size of the screen it's about giving you an experience that TV just can't match first YouTube offers you the largest library of on-demand content second our recommendations build channels and lineups based on your personal interests and what you enjoy watching and third it's a two-way interactive experience with features like voice control and today I'm super excited to announce that we are taking the interactive experience a step further by introducing 360 video in the YouTube app on the big screen and you know that you can already watch 360 videos on your phone or in your daydream headset but soon you'll be able to feel like you're in the middle of the action right from your couch and on the biggest screen you own now one of my personal interests outside of work is to travel and one place I'd love to visit is Alaska to check out the Northern Lights so let's do a voice search aurora borealis 360 great let's choose that first video and now using my TV remote I'm able to pan around this video checking out this awesome view from every single angle traveling is great especially when I don't have to get on a flight but 360 is now a brand new way to attend concerts I didn't make it to Coachella but here I can experience it like I was on stage and to enhanced the experience even further we are also introducing live 360 in the living room soon you'll be able to witness moments and events as they unfold in a new truly immersive way so whether you have a Sony Android TV or an Xbox one console soon you'll be able to explore 360 videos right from the comfort of your couch and along with your friends and family and now to help show you another way we're enabling interactivity please join me in welcoming Barbara McDonald who's the lead of something we call super chat good morning io and to everybody on the livestream as Susan mentioned what makes YouTube special is the relationships that creators are able to foster with their fans and one of the best ways to connect with your fans is to bring them live behind the scenes of your videos offering up can't-miss content in the past year the number of creators live streaming on YouTube has grown by 4x this growth is awesome and we want to do even more to deepen the connection between creators and their fans during live streams that's why earlier this year we rolled out a new feature called super chat when a creator is live-streaming fans can purchase super chats which are highlighted fun chat messages not only des fans love the recognition but creators earn extra money from it in the past three months since launch we've been amazed by the different ways creators are using super chat even April our favorite pregnant raff who unfortunately could not be here with us today has raised tens of thousands of dollars for her home the animal adventure park ok ok we can glad for that but enough talking for me we are going to do a livestream right here right now to show all of you how super chat works and to help me very excited to introduce top YouTube creators with 9 million subscribers and over 1 billion lifetime channel views on the grass back there the slow mo guys Wow hey how could you be it's good it's great to have you so let's pull up their livestream and just look chat is flying now I love the slow mo guys and I want to make sure that they see my message so I'm going to super chat them pulled up the team and right from within live chat I'm able to enter my message select my amount make the purchase and send boom see how much that message stands out and it gets pinned to the top cool right yeah thanks Barbara it's actually lovely the minute although I feel like there's a high chance of showers very local showers like specifically to this stage yeah I wonder I wonder well because we know developers are incredibly creative we wanted to see what you can do to make super chat even more interactive so we've launched an API for it and today we're taking it to the next level with a new developer integration that triggers actions in the real world this means that when a fan sends a super chat to a creator things can happen in real life such as turning the lights on or off in the Creator studio flying a drone around or pushing buttons on their toys and gadgets the slow mo guys are going to create their next slow motion video using super chats API we have now reached things out so that when I send my next Super chat it will automatically trigger the lights and a Big Horn in this amphitheater okay and that is going to signal our friends back there on the lawn to unleash a truckload of water balloons at the slow mo guys I'm scared yeah that's right but every dollar we're gonna take another balloon so more money means more balloons although I did hear a guy over here go we're gonna totally nail these guys alright that's got to be at least four dollars right there so yeah each dollar donate goes to the course that Susan mentioned earlier the enable Network okay so how much do you think we can send I can start at $1 and go anywhere upwards from there so it's for charity how do we think 100 how's that sound okay higher higher 200 200 how about $500 for 500 balloons $500 I can do that I can do that okay it's like it's in my super chat and hit send 500 woo that was amazing thank you everybody for your help so this obviously just scratches the surface of what is possible using super Jets open api's and we are super excited to see what all of you will do with it next so Susan how about you come back out here and let's check out the video we've all made [Laughter] Wow thank you so much thank you Barbara I'm really happy to announce that YouTube is going to match the slo-mo guy super chat earnings from today a hundred ex to make sure that we're supplying prosthetics to children in need around the world so that 360 living room demo and the super chat demo those are just two examples of how we are working to connect people around the globe together with video now I hope that what you've seen today is that the future of media is a future of openness and diversity a future filled with conversations and community and a future that works across all screens together with creators viewers and partners we are building the platform of that future Thank You IO and please please welcome me enjoy and in Dave Burke joining us to talk about Android then I ever hi everybody it's great to be here at Google i/o 2017 as you can see we found some new ways to Hardware accelerate Android this time with jetpacks but seriously two billion active devices is incredible and that's just smartphones and tablets we're also seeing new momentum in areas such as TVs and cars and watches and laptops and beyond so let me take a moment and give you a quick update and how Android is doing in those areas Android wear 2.0 launched earlier this year with a new update for Android and iPhone users and when you hardeners like Emporio Armani Lovato and New Balance we now enable 24 of the world's top watch brands Android auto being a 10x user growth since last year it's supported by more than 300 car models and the out auto mobile app and just this week howdy in Volvo and as that their next-generation math systems will be powered by Android for a more seamless connected car experience Android TV we've partnered with over a hundred cable operators and hardware manufacturers around the world and now we're now seeing 1 million device activations every two months and they're more than three thousand Android TV apps in the Play Store this year we're releasing a brand new launcher interface and bringing the Google assistant to Android TV Android thing's previewed late last year and already there are thousands of developers in over 60 countries using it to build connected devices with easy access to the Google assistant tensorflow and more the full launch is coming later this year Chromebooks comprise almost 60% of K to 12 laptops sold in the US and the momentum is growing globally and now with the added ability to run Android apps you get to target laptops too now of course platforms are only as good as the apps they run the Google Play ecosystem is more vibrant than ever Android users installed a staggering 82 billion apps and games in the last year that's 11 apps for every person on the planet all right so let's come back to smartphones and the real reason I'm here is to talk about Android Oh two months ago we launched our very first Developer Preview so you could kick the tires and some of the new api's and of course it's very much a work in progress but you can expect the release later this summer today we want to walk you through two themes you know that we're excited about the first is something we call fluid experiences it's pretty incredible what you can do in a mobile phone today and how much we rely on them as computers in our pockets but there are still certain things are tough to do in a small screen so we're doing a couple of features you know that we think will help with this which I'll cover in just a moment the second theme is something we call vitals and the concept here is to keep vital system behavior in a healthy state so we can maximize the users battery performance and reliability so let's jump straight in and walk through four new fluid experiences whit live demos done wirelessly what could possibly go wrong alright and these days we do a lot of once on our phones whether it's paying for groceries while reading a text message you just received or looking up guitar chords while listening to a new song but conventional multi-window techniques don't translate well to mobile they're just too fiddly to set up when you're on the go we think picture and picture is the answer for many cases so let's take a look my kids recently asked me to build a lemonade stand so I opened up YouTube and I started researching DIY videos and I found this one now at the same time I want to be able to jot down the materials I need to build for this lemonade stand so to multitask all I do press the home button and boom I get picture-in-picture you can think of it as a kind of automatic multi window I give it out of the way I can launch keep I can add some more materials so I know I need to get some what glue-like so then when I'm done I just simply swipe it away like that it's brilliant picture-in-picture lets you do more with your phone it works great when video calling with duo for example maybe I need to check my calendar while planning a barbecue with friends and there are lots of other great news cases for example picture and picture for max navigation or watching Netflix in the background and a lot more and we're also excited to see what you come up with for this feature we're also making notification interactions more fluid for users from the beginning Android has really blazed a trail when it comes to its advance notification system you know we're extending the reach of notifications with something we call notification dots it's a new way for app developers to indicate that there's activity in their app and to drive engagement so let's take a look you'll notice that the Instagram app icon has a dotted net and this is indicating that there's a notification associated with the app so if I pull down the shade sure enough you can see there's a notification in this case someone's printed on a photo and tagged in what's really cool is I can long press the app icon and we now show the notification in place one of the things I really like about the notification mechanism is that it works with zero effort from the app developer we even extract the color of the dot from your icon oh and you get to raise the icon by simply swiping the notification like that so you're always in control another great feature you know that helps make your experience more fluid is auto fill now if you use Chrome you're probably already familiar with auto fill for quickly filling out a username and password or credit card information with a single tap widow we've extended autofill to apps let's say I'm setting up a new phone for the first time and I open Twitter and I want to log in now because I use Twitter comm all the time on Chrome this system will automatically suggest my username I can simply tap it I get my password and then boom logged in it's pretty awesome autofill takes the pain out of setting up a new phone or tablet once the user opts in autofill will work for most applications we also provide api's for developers to customize autofill for their experience I want to show you one more demo of how we're making Android more fluid by improving copy and paste the feature is called smart text selection so let's take a look in Android you typically long press or double tap a word to select it for example I can open gmail I can start composing if I double tap the word bite it gets selected like so now we know from user studies that phone numbers are the most copy and pasted items the second most common are named entities like businesses and people and places you know we're applying a device machine-learning in this case a fee for neural network to recognize these more complicated entities so watch this I can double tap anywhere on the phrase old coffee house and all of it is select for me no more filling around with hex selection handles it even works out for addresses so if I double tap on the address all of it is selected and what's more there's more what's worse the machine learn model classifies this as an address and automatic suggests Maps so I can get directions to it with a single click and of course it works as you expect for phone numbers you get the phone dialer suggested and for email addresses you get Gmail suggested all of this neural networking processing happens on device in real time and without any data leaving the device it's pretty awesome now on device machine learning helps make your phone Spyder and we want to help you build experiences like what you just saw so we're doing two things to help first I'm excited to announce that we're creating a specialized version of tensorflow Google's open source machine learning library which we call tensorflow lite it's a library for apps designed to be fast and small yet still enabling state of art techniques like commnets and LSTs second we're introducing a new framework at Android 2 Hardware accelerate neural computation tests refer light will leverage a new neural network API to tap into silicon specific accelerators and over time we expect to see DSPs specifically designed for neural network inference and training we think these new capabilities will help our next generation of on device speech processing visual search augmented reality and more tests of low light will soon be part of the open source tensorflow project and the neural network API will be made available later in an update to oh this year ok so that's a quick tour of some of the fluid experiences in oh let's switch gears and talk about vitals so to tell you more I want to head over to Steph who's been instrumental in driving this project thank you hi everyone okay so all the features they've talked about are cool but we think your phone's foundations are even more important battery life security startup time and stability after all if your battery dies at 4 p.m. none of the other features that Dave talked about really matter so a no we're investing in what we call vitals keeping your phone secure and in a healthy state to maximize power and performance we've invested in three foundational building blocks security enhancements OS optimizations and tools to help developers build great apps first security Android was built with security in mind from day one with application sandboxing as Android has matured we've developed vast mobile security services now we use machine learning to continuously comb apps uploaded to play flagging potentially harmful apps then we scan over 50 billion apps every day scanning every installed app on every connected device and when we find a potentially harmful app we disable it or remove it and we found most Android users don't know these services come built-in with Android devices with play so for greater peace of mind we're making them more visible and accessible and doubling down on our commitment to security with the introduction of Google Play protect so here you can see play protect has recently scanned all your apps no problems found that's Google Play protect it's available out of the box on every Android device with Google Play second OS optimizations the single biggest visible change in o is boot time on pixel for example you'll find in most cases your boot time is now twice as fast and we've made all apps faster by default we do this through extensive changes to our run time now this is really cool stuff like concurrent compacting garbage collection and code locality but all you really need to know is that your apps will run faster and smoother take Google sheets aggregate performance over a bunch of common actions is now over two times as fast and that's all from the OS there are no changes to the app but we found apps could still have a huge impact on performance some apps were running in the background and they were consuming tons of system resources especially draining battery so an o we're adding wise limits to background location and background execution these boundaries put sensible limits on usage they're protecting battery life and freeing up memory now our third theme is helping developers build great apps and here I want to speak directly to all the developers in the audience wouldn't it be cool if Android engineering team could show you what causes performance issues today we've launched play console dashboards that analyze every app and pinpoint six top issues that cause battery drain crashes and slow UI for each issue the app has we show how many users are affected and provide guidance on the best way to fix now imagine if developers could also have a powerful profiler to visualize what's happening inside the app in Android studio we've also launched new unified profiling tools for networked memory and CPU so developers can now see everything on a unified timeline and then dive into each profiler for an example on CPU you can see every thread you can look at the call stack and the time every call is taking you can visualize where the CPU is going and you can jump to the exact line of code okay so that's android vitals how we're investing in your phones foundational security and performance later today you'll see androids developer story from end to end our hard work to help developers build great apps at every stage writing code tuning launching and growing but there is one more thing one thing we think would be an incredible compliment to the story and it is one thing our team has never done for developers we have never added a new programming language to android and today we're making Kotlin an officially supported language in andhra so Colin Colin is when our developer community has already asked for it makes developers so much more productive it is fully Android runtime compatible it is totally interoperable with your existing code it has fabulous IDE support and it's mature and production ready from day one we are also announcing our plans to partner with JetBrains creating a foundation for Colin I am so happy jetbrains CEO Mac Safarov is here today this new language is wonderful but we also thought we should increase our investment in our existing languages so we're doing that too please join us at the developer keynote later today to hear our story from end to end ok so let's wrap up there are tons more features in Android o which we don't have time to go into today everything from redesigned settings to project treble which is one of the biggest changes to the foundations of Android to date - downloadable fonts with new emoji and much more if you want to try some of these features for yourself and you do I'm happy to announce we're making the first beta release of o available today head over to Android comm slash beta but there's more you probably thought we're done talking about Android oh but I'd like you to hear some more about Android and from that please welcome Sameer thank you thanks Steph hi everyone from the beginning androids mission has been to bring the power of computing to everyone and we've seen tremendous growth over the last few years from the high end to entry level devices in countries like Indonesia Brazil and India in fact there are now more users of Android in India than there are in the US and every minute seven Brazilians come online for the first time all this progress is amazing for those of us who have a smartphone we intuitively understand the profound impact that computing is having on our daily lives and that's why our team gets so excited about how we can help bring this technology to everyone so we took a step back to think about what it would take to get smartphones to more people there are a few things that are clear devices would need to be more affordable with entry-level prices dropping significantly this means hardware that uses less power pack processors and far less memory than on premium devices but the hardware is only half the equation the software also has to be tuned for users needs around limited data connectivity and multilingual use we learned a lot from our past efforts here with projects felt and KitKat and the original Android one program but we felt like the time was right to take our investment to the next level so today I'm excited to give you a sneak peek into a new experience we're building for entry-level Android devices internally we call it Android Go Android Go focuses on three things first optimizing the latest release of Android to run smoothly on entry-level devices starting with Android o second a rebuilt set of Google App that use less memory storage space and mobile data and third a version of the Play Store that contains the whole app catalog but highlights the apps designed by all of you for the next billion users and all three of these things will ship together as a single experience starting on Android o devices with one gigabyte or less of memory let's take a look at some of the things we're working on for Android go first let's talk about the operating system for manufacturers to make more affordable entry-level devices the prices of their components have to come down let's take one example memory is an expensive component so we're making a number of optimizations to the system UI and the kernel to allow an android o device built with the go configuration to run smoothly with as little as 512 megabytes to one gigabyte of memory now on device performance is critical but data costs and intermittent connectivity are also big challenges for users one person put it best to me when she said mobile data feels like currency and she wanted more control over the way she spent it so when these devices were putting data management front and center in quick settings and we've created an API that carriers can great with so you can see exactly how much prepaid data you have left and even top up right there on the device but beyond the OS the google apps are also getting smarter about data for example on these devices the chrome data saver feature will be turned on by default data saver transcodes content on the server and simplifies pages when you're on a slow connection and when now we're making the savings more visible here in the UI in aggregate this feature is saving users over 750 terabytes of data every day I'm really excited that the YouTube team has designed a new app called YouTube go for their users with limited data connectivity feedback front on the new YouTube app has been phenomenal and we're taking many of the lessons we've learned here and applying them to several of our Google Apps let me show you some of the things I love about YouTube go first there's a new preview experience so you can get a sneak peek inside a video before you decide to spend your data to watch it and when you're sure this is the video for you you can select the streaming quality you want and see exactly how much mobile data that's going to cost you but my favorite feature of youtube go is the ability to save videos while you're connected so you can watch them later when you might not have access to data and if you want to share any of those videos with a friend you can use the built-in peer-to-peer sharing feature to connect two of your devices together directly and share the files across without using any of your mobile data at all but beyond data management the Google Apps will also make it easier to seamlessly go between multiple languages which is a really common use case for people coming online today for example G Board now supports over a hundred and ninety-one languages including the recent addition of 22 Indian languages and there's even a transliteration feature which allows you to spell words phonetically on a QWERTY keyboard to type in your native language script and G board is super cool so I want to show it to you I grew up in the US so for any of my family that's watching don't get too excited by the demo I haven't learned Hindi yet and I'm sorry mom okay so let's say I want to send a quick note to my aunt in India I can open up a low and using G board I can type how it sounds phonetically boom guess awho which means how are you in Hindi and transliteration automatically gives me Hindi script that's pretty cool now see I want to ask her how my IO speech is going but I don't know how to say that Hindi at all I can use the built-in Google Translate feature to say how is this going and seamlessly I get Hindi script all built right into the keyboard why my family is apparently a tough audience all right well the cou collapse are getting go F ID what is always propelled Android forward is the apps from all of you and no surprise many of our developer partners have optimized their apps already so to better connect users with these experiences we'll be highlighting them in the Play Store one example is right here on plays home page to be eligible for these new sections we've published a set of best practices called building for billions which includes recommendations leave seen make a big difference in the consumer experience things such as designing a useful offline state reducing your apk size to less than 10 megabytes and using GCM or job scheduler for better battery and memory performance and also in building for billions you'll find best practices for optimizing your web experience we've seen developers build amazing things with new technology such as progressive web apps we hope you can come to our developer keynote later today to learn a whole lot more ok that was a quick walkthrough of some of the things coming in Android go starting with Android o all devices with one gigabyte of RAM or less will get the go configuration and going forward every Android release will have a go configuration we'll be unveiling much more later this year with the first devices shipping in 2018 we look forward to seeing what you'll build and how we can bring computing to the next several billion users next up next up you'll be hearing from clay on one of Google's newest platforms that were really excited about VR and AR thank you Thank You Samir so send are talked about how technologies like machine learning and conversational interfaces make computing more intuitive by enabling our computers to work more like we do and we see VR and AR in the same light they enable us to experience computing just as we experience the real world virtual reality can be transporting you can experience not just what it's like to see someplace but what it's like to really be there an augmented reality uses your surroundings as context and puts computing into the real world a lot has happened since Google i/o last year and I'm excited to share a bit of what we've been up to so let's start with VR last year we announced daydream our platform from mobile virtual reality and then in October to kick-start the daydream ecosystem we released daydream view a VR headset made by Google that's super comfortable it's really easy to use and there's tons to do with it you can play inside alternate worlds and games like virtual virtual reality you can see any part of our world with apps like Street View and you can visit other worlds with apps like Hello Mars there's already a great selection of daydream phones out there and we're working with partners to get daydream on even more first I'm pleased that LG's next flagship phone which launches later this year will support daydream and there's another I'm excited to announce that the Samsung Galaxy s8 and s8 plus will add daydream support this summer with a software update the Samsung of course they make many of the most popular phones in the world and we're delighted to have them supporting daydream so great momentum in daydreams first six months let's talk about what's next so the daydream we showed that you can create high-quality mobile VR experiences with just a smart phone and a simple headset and there are a lot of nice things about smart phone VR it's easy there aren't a bunch of cables and things to fuss with you can choose from a bunch of great compatible phones and of course it's portable you can throw your headset in a bag we asked how can we take the best parts of smartphone VR and create a kind of device with an even better experience I'm excited to announce that an entirely new kind of VR device is coming to daydream what we call standalone VR headsets and we're working with partners to make them so what's a standalone headset the idea is you have everything you need for VR built right into the headset itself there's no cables no phone and certainly no big PC and the whole device is designed just for VR and that's cool for a couple of reasons first it's easy to use getting into VR is as easy as picking the thing up and it's one step in two seconds and second presence and by that I mean really feeling like you're there by building every part of the device specifically for VR we've been able to optimize everything that displays the optics the sensors all to deliver a stronger sense of being transported and nothing heightens the feeling of presence like precise tracking how the headset tracks your movement and we've dramatically improved tracking with a technology that we call world sense so world sense enables what's known as positional tracking with it your view in the virtual world exactly matches your movement in the real world and it works by using a handful of sensors on the device that look out into your surroundings and that means it works anywhere there's no setup there's no cameras to install and with it you really feel like you're there now just as we did with daydream ready smartphones we're taking a platform approach with standalone headsets working with partners to build some great devices to start we worked with Qualcomm to create a daydream standalone headset reference design a sort of device blueprint partners can build from and working closely with two amazing consumer electronics companies to build the first headsets first HTC the company that created the vibe we're excited about it too they're a leader in VR and we're delighted to be working with them on a standalone VR headset for daydream and second Lenovo we've been partners for years working together on tango and now we're excited to work with them on VR these devices will start to come to market later this year so that's the update on VR great momentum with apps more daydream ready phones on the way and a new category of devices that we think people are going to love so let's turn to augmented reality a lot of us were introduced to the idea of AR last year with Pokemon go the app gave us a glimpse of AR and it showed us just how cool it can be to have digital objects show up in our world well we've been working in this space since 2013 with tango a sensing technology that enables devices to understand space more like we do two years ago in 2015 we released a Developer Kit then last year we shipped the first consumer ready tango phone and I'm excited to announce that the second-generation tango phone the Asus zenfone AR will go on sale this summer now looking at the slides you may notice it notice a trend the devices are getting smaller and you can imagine far more devices having this capability in the future it's been awesome to see what developers have done with the technology and one thing we've seen clearly is that AR is most powerful when it's tightly coupled to the real world and the more precisely the better that's why we've been working with the Google Maps team on a service that can give devices access to very precise location information indoors it's kind of like GPS but instead of talking to satellites to figure out where it is your phone looks for distinct visual features in the environment and it triangulates with those so you have GPS we call this VPS Google's visual positioning service and we think it's going to be incredibly useful in a whole bunch of places for example imagine you're at Lowe's a home-improvement store that has basically everything and if you've been there you know it's really big and we've all had that moment when you're struggling to find that one weird random screwdriver thing imagine in the future your phone could just take you to that exact screwdriver and point it out to you on the shelf turns out we can do this with VPS let me show you how and this is working today so here we are walking down an aisle at Lowe's and the phone will find these key visual feature points as you can see they're in yellow by comparing the feature points against previously observed ones those colorful dots in the back the phone can figure out exactly where it is in space down to within a few centimeters so GPS can get you to the door and then VPS can get you to the exact item that you're looking for further out further out imagine what this technology could mean to people with impaired vision for example VPS in an audio-based interface could transform how they make their way through the world and it combines so many things that Google is good at mapping computer vision distributed computing and we think precise location will be critical for camera based interfaces so VPS will be one of the core capabilities of google lens really excited about the possibilities here so last thing i wanted to share is something that we've been working on that brings many of these capabilities together in a really important area and that's education two years ago we launched expeditions which is a tool for teachers to take their classes on virtual reality field trips and two million students have used it today we're excited to announce that we're adding a new capability to expeditions AR mode which enables kind of the ultimate show-and-tell right in the classroom if we could roll the video please all right want to see a volcano three two one look at that lobby like this coming out of that attend you're an airplane and fly over the tornado what do you see we're learning about DNA and genes things that we can't see and so the most exciting thing for me with the AR technology was that I could see kids get an aha moment that I couldn't get by just telling them about it the minute I saw it pop up on the screen I mean when get up and walk to it you actually get to turn around and look at things from all angles so it gave us a nice perspective see if you can figure out what that might be based on what you know about the respiratory system I got to see where the alveoli branched off and I can look inside them see how everything worked which I never saw before it was really really cool we're just delighted with the response we're seeing so far and we'll be rolling this out later in the year so VR and a are two different flavors of what you might call immersive computing computing that works more like we do we think that's a big idea and in time we see VR and AR changing how we work and play live and learn and all that I talked about here these are just the first steps but we can see where all this goes and we're incredibly excited about what's ahead thanks so much back to sundar we wanted to make machine learning an open-source project so that everyone outside of Google could use the same system reusing inside it's incredible when you open source platform when you see what people can do on top of it are we really excited about the momentum behind tensorflow it's already the most popular ml repository on github and we're going to push it further we are also announcing the tensorflow research cloud we are giving away thousand people use which is 180 better flops of computing took academics and researchers for free so that they can do more stuff with it I'm always amazed by the stories I hear from developers when I meet them I want to highlight one young developer today Abu Carter from Chicago he is used tensorflow to help improve health for everyone let's take a look my name is Abu I am a high school student 17 years old my freshman year I remember googling machine learning had no clue what it meant that's a really cool thing about the Internet is that someone's already doing it so you can just YouTube it and it's right there it was a minute I really saw what machine learning can do I kind of like hid something within me this like need to build things to help people my parents are immigrants from Ivy understand it's not easy coming in the only reason we made it through some of the times that we did was because people showed acts of kindness seeing that at an early age was enough for me to understand that helping people always comes back to you and then it kind of hit me a way where I could actually genuinely help people mammograms are the cheapest imaging format there is it's the most accessible to people all around the world but one of the biggest problems that we see in breast cancer is misdiagnosis so I decided I was going to build a system for early detection of breast cancer tumors that's accessible to everyone and that's more accurate how was I gonna do it machine learning the biggest most extensive resource that I've used for call tensorflow I've spent so many hours going really deep into these open source libraries and just figuring out how it works eventually I wrote a whole system that can help really I'll just make their decisions yeah I'm by no means a wizard at machine learning I'm completely self-taught I'm in high school i YouTubed and just found my way through it you don't know about that kid in Brazil that might have a groundbreaking idea or that kid in Somalia you don't know that they have these ideas but if you can open-source your tools you can give them a little bit of hope that they can actually conquer what they're thinking of I will started this as a school project and it's continued to build it on its own we are very very fortunate to have a boy and his family here with us today thank you for joining us enjoy IO we've been talking about machine learning in terms of how it will power new experiences in research but it's also important we think about how this technology can have an immediate impact on people's lives by creating opportunities for economic empowerment 46% of US employers say they face talent shortages and have issues filling open job positions while job seekers may be looking for openings right next door there is a big disconnect here just like we focused our contributions to teachers and students through Google for education we want to better connect employers and jobseekers through a new initiative Google for jobs Google for jobs is a commitment to use our products to help people find work it's a complex multifaceted problem but we've been investing a lot over the past year and we've made significant profits last November we announced a cloud jobs API think of it as a first fully end to end pre-trained vertical machine learning model through google cloud which we give to employers FedEx Johnson & Johnson HealthSouth Keri builder and we are expanding to many more employers so in Johnson & Johnson's carrier site they found that applicants were 18 percent more likely to apply to a job suggesting the matching is working more efficiently and so far or over four and a half million people have interacted with this API but as we started working on this we realized the first step for many people when they start looking for a job is searching on Google so it's like other search challenges we have work in the past so we built a new feature in search with the goal that no matter who you are or what kind of job you are looking for you can find the job postings that are right for you and as part of this effort we work hard to include jobs across experience and wage levels including jobs that have traditionally been much harder to search and classify think retail jobs Hospitality jobs etc to do this well we have worked with many partners LinkedIn monster Facebook carry builder Glassdoor and many more so let's take a look at how it works let's say you're come to Google and you start searching for retail jobs and you're from Pittsburgh we understand that you can scroll down and click into this immersive experience and we immediately start showing the most relevant jobs for you and you can filter you can choose full time and as you can see you can drill down easily I want to look at jobs which are posted in the past three days so you can do that now you're looking at retail jobs in Pittsburgh posted within the last three days you can also filter by job titles it turns out employees and employers use many different terminologies for example retail could mean a store clerk a sales representative store manager we use machine learning to cluster automatically and so that we can bring all the relevant jobs for you as you scroll through it you will notice that we even shook commute times it turns out to be an important criteria for many people and we will soon add a filter for that as well and if you find something that's of interest to you so maybe the retail position in drawers and you can click on it and you end up going to it right away and you're one click away you can scroll to find more information if you want and you're one click away from clicking and applying there it's a powerful tool we are addressing jobs of every skill level and experience level and we are committed to making these tools work for everyone it's part of building it we literally talked to hundreds of people so whether you're in a community college looking for a barista job a teacher who's relocating across the country and you want teaching jobs or someone who is looking for work in construction the products should do a great job of bringing that information to you we are rolling this out in the u.s. in the coming weeks and then we're going to expand it to more countries in the future I'm personally enthusiastic for this initiative because it addresses an important need and taps our core capabilities as a company from searching and organizing information to AI and machine learning it's been a busy morning you know we've talked about this important shift from a mobile first to AI first world and we are driving it forward across all our products and platforms so that all of you can build powerful experiences for new users everywhere it'll take all of us working together to bring the benefits of technology to everyone I believe we're on the verge of solving some of the most important problems we face that's our hope let's do it together thanks for your time today and enjoy Google IO all right everybody there you go Google i/o 2017 at least the first keynote for the day there will be plenty of other workshops that are going on today and tomorrow that they're doing another keynote tomorrow I believe but we won't be we won't be you know here for that but you guys you can also actually watch directly on Google's own IO page all the keynotes are they're broadcasting them as well so you guys can check that out the next couple days we saw a lot of stuff here we know that you all saw a lot of stuff here as well we're gonna stick around maybe for the next 15-20 minutes and talk about this but we also want you all to call in the show and let us know what you thought maybe things you liked we will first talk about our thoughts on all these things but the number down below one eight eight eight nine hundred cien et that's two six three eight give us a call and we'll jump on Lexia first impressions how about let's start off with the highest things that you liked the things that I liked okay so they did lead with the most interesting stuff oh yeah which was home assistant coming to iOS big boom that was interesting and Google lens so this seems like a culmination of all of the things that Google's been working on for a long time like think Google Goggles and image recognition machine learning everything coming together so the demo they showed was that one actually blew my mind I think blew your mind too bro is that Wi-Fi connection one you hold your phone up with lens on it in front of your Wi-Fi access code password and so on and then it will automatically connect like on that label on that barcode label that's on your router that yeah that was sick and you know in addition that just the fact that this whole Google lens is integrated directly into the assistant just amps up the power and the level of detail and information including using the GPS location right they showed a street front look like somewhere like New York and because it knew where you were and could identify the signage it knew what restaurants you were looking at and was giving you like reviews and data on each of those as you pan I mean this is like next-level stuff when we're talking about that I'll let you continue but yeah I thought that was that was wild I agree it's just like Shazaam for objects seriously when they when you can put up the camera to a flower and it's like oh this is this particular variety of flower just going okay that's something that I probably don't need but I think it will come incredibly handy for a lot of other things this is of course going to be integrated into all of the other Google products like Google photos which there was a very long section about Google photo line let me just let me just say that photo books are not interesting I don't know if I'm the only one out there that thinks that way I've got a handrail right yeah I just had to jump in because okay I do like let there Shutterfly there all these services out there too for them to say that it's hard to do it it's not but part of building a photo book is actually putting care into it breaking down like why you put picture a B and C what I saw that that was a photo book for lazy people that are too busy that don't give a crap and I I even tweet them like oh they forgot what makes a photo book important this thing called love from where is the love the heart the heart so it was like could you imagine you as a lady and your man is like your man's like or whatever you as a guy whatever whatever side the coin you're on oh I made this photo book for you and it yeah it's a sequential event of photos you didn't pick any of them you let the machine do it it laid it out and you just handed that is so impersonal and on top of that Google did all the photo editing for you correcting everything and all of that I get it if you if you're like if if you want it you think you're gonna press someone that doesn't know what Google photo boats is about you might actually get away with it I might give you props but damn like a photo book is supposed there supposed to be some Karen thought put into that's all I'm just old school like that I'm sorry I agree I mean also the other stuff that I was intrigued about that I don't think they really kind of each out as much as I wanted was a whole conversational aspect coming to home and the assistant I really just want to see that working because we've talked about this for quite some time and I know it's being worked on in the behind the scenes but it's been a year since like last year's Google i/o when we first saw that we saw a couple of different examples having more natural conversation and also being able to type to the assistant rather than use your voice and calling coming to Google home was another big one it was a big like huh take that Amazon yeah I think I think that uh again the Google assistant is going next level I think that you saw things that when you talk about other companies and how they're trying to integrate their Google assistant we already knew the Google assistant was smarter than any AI the whole Google Lenz integration they took it to the next level and then in addition with a Google home leveraging the assistant they're starting to put all these pieces together in really interesting ways in dare I say the e word ecosystem like the smart could this be the beginning of the smartest ecosystem we have ever seen by a company like that that's what it feels like and looks like they're getting there so that's exciting I mean it you know whatever they talk about you know being able to I would I don't really care per se as much of like I'm watching TV and you could see things on the screen but the way that can talk and interact call recognize your voices know your calendar this is this is all stuff that's going to be rolling out this year and I went out when we hear rumors about Apple making a smart speaker um that got a lot to live up I don't I don't I'm this ballet I got a lot to work if you gotta come out with the Apple bravado you better be careful about that right now if you're gonna say it's got Siri and it can use your TV it's not going to be it's just there's no way it's gonna be as smart I don't this is one of those few keynotes by a tech company where you heard the N word neural but yeah machine learning the M word like you hear it in so many places but the proof is in the pudding you can actually see how it exists it's in the DNA now and they're kind of really capturing that we are the smarted although yes we do give up our information and there will always be this security cloud hanging over just how much does Google know how much are we willing to give and that's up to you personally you know how much you're really willing to give to these tech companies period but man it the smartest company out there right now especially with what we saw with AI the Anschluss the AI stuff was really exciting to see and also it was a big a big take big attack on Amazon really there was a whole bunch of stuff I mean Amazon just released the echo show the device with the screen in it and then Google comes out and goes well we can kind of do that as well but we don't need to release an entirely new device hey we're just going to use our ecosystem like you said Brad we're going to use our chromecast so if you want to see results or something on the screen well there you go if we want to use it on your phone you can see something on your phone too so really they're doing something very clever they don't need to kind of diversify their product range through hardware they're trying to do that through software and that's what Google's real strength is Amazon strength is definitely in the hardware yeah and obviously their voice assistant Alexa working across all those devices but Google's just basically going why would you buy a different device at every room in your house you're just going to need one Google home and you can TV is going to be existing in the living room just add a chromecast to and your phone which you already have anyway kind of goes with you from room to room so there's no real point in buying a new device for every single room of your house yeah I think it's really we'll talk more about other things we saw the keynote things that we liked and maybe didn't like we do have a phone call from our friend John in Michigan I'm gonna go to you in a second and just remember guys and gals call us on the line we're just going to hang around for a few more minutes just to talk about the and wrap up the stuff from Google i/o John can you hear me my man after earlier hey thanks for calling CNET live in Google i/o Lexi and Stephen are in the house welcome to the show what you want to talk about the one thing I wanna talk about is the assistant and how it's going to change a lot of things in the next like five to ten years you really think about it through different age groups you know easy it's going to be for elders to just kind of actually get the technology like though it's like one two three these kids are already like you know getting smarter as I go like infants and whatnot let's imagine learning you know Spanish at like four or five years old which is crazy in a sense that you can like put it up put the photo ends up and then you can teach your kids it's going to be totally interactive in the next 5-10 years it's going to be amazing I think it's amazing in two different reasons and it's just education level that's gonna that's gonna bring a higher like pedestal to it but not only these little podunk towns like you know in rural states Michigan Missouri also that's going to create a lot of opportunities for a lot of people as well as long as they don't take you know there's always kind of this whole thing like technology taking over jobs versus you know but I think what you're you're more talking about is raising the education level and improving basically some knowledge and skills for for those higher level jobs is that what you're alluding to yeah absolutely yeah yeah I mean it's just insane to think that this technology has came and 5-10 years and it's just going to get a little bit better and better and better each generation and it I'm actually really happy for like a you know minorities and who don't have the capabilities of getting a great education like that this stuff is really good I think you make a great point just of the accessibility let's even just talk about purely you you know although they I we both felt that they didn't really need to spend time on YouTube in this keynote it was almost like they didn't have any big announcements so that's another point but to get to your whole point about just technology the democratization of media and being able to have multiple voices from all different backgrounds being able to be represented on a platform like YouTube that is thanks to technology right and those are the types of things that you're talking about being able to open that up for everyone and that's kind of one of the beauties right of technology in general even when you talk about developing countries all of a sudden getting something like you know fiber plugged in there and being able to have a faster internet bandwidth and we do over here I'm just you know being able to there's there's also the gap the rights some of the technologies so far ahead that you're leaving people to dust but I think overall in general technology has helped lift it up people in in different ways so I think there's always no matter what we're always going to have some level of marginalization unfortunately right but access has improved and no matter what that's going to help so I thanks so much for your call with John we really appreciate that thanks John oh absolutely all right cool take care hey real quick he talked about you know elders being able to use this a lot easier and someone in the chat room immediately said we got Google home for my grandma and she refuses to use it my dad is the same way about our echo dot like he's he doesn't want it he doesn't want to talk around it you know so there is like this there's a disconnection there with the older people and using this technology so I'm curious to see how that's gonna be implemented later you know I think to Lexi's point the more conversational it is the better I you know you know what if you can find this actually a beach and while we're talking us SNL did an Amazon echo yet yes that just because we're time out voice and a I pull it up we'll talk a little bit more about other things it looks like we have someone online too so I'm just going to take them right now and oh if you're on the phone and you can hear me and you have your computer turned down and welcome to seeing that live you're here with Brian Lexi and Stephen what's up hello hey what's going on what's it wow they really punch me through that's cool hey I was a tripping out about how Google assistant is now in the iPhone yeah and I just feel like at any it seems like Google can see that Apple is struggling and they're like well you know what since our cellphone sales were down with the pixel let's just uh move in on Apple and yeah take over Apple well I don't know if it's all if it's going to be let's take over Apple I think Google's very smart with trying to kind of be platform agnostic but at the same time be very Google and and centric as well to make sure that you're in the Google ecosystem even if you're across platforms because you know iOS users and Apple users a very dedicated user base and Apple is a massive company and so it doesn't really make sense to ignore that user base even though statistically there are less iPhones in use than Android phones in the world so Google's very clever in making sure that all of us all of its ways is trying to talk to people and through all the apps that it has that it's trying to reach as many platforms as possible because if you think about it most people on it's probably going to be using Google as their primary search engine anyway and most people probably have a gmail account so it makes sense to have a lot of the functionality available so you can go cross device not necessarily that iOS users are going to end up migrating to Android that's pretty product probably pretty unlikely unless you're constantly looking for kind of the best hardware all the time but I think it's it's a really great idea that Google's decided to make sure that it's got the ability to reach users everywhere that they are not just on Android specifically yeah while I love the Apple hardware but the ecosystem drives me nuts but if they came out with like a Google Play edition iPhone on point that is the Holy Grail Chris that is the holy grail like right there right like come on but you know yeah we know that we do super Sneaky and they're you know they're not going to say oh we're taking over Apple because it would just be this huge thing so what they're doing is they're like oh yeah here look try our Google stuff through apple it's not like apples sharing Siri with Android but sure enough Android sharing everything with Apple and let's be real I don't think Android wants Siri you know you know saying it's like come on now like oh hey guys here's our Siri app Android users not going to like that way yeah Google assistant all the way it's definitely insane and it's a fun ride to watch and I'm also interested in seeing a and a phone that has the like tango like I Google what is it the sorry the VR daydream your camera B not covered because the Google daydream VR it has a cover over the camera but it'd be nice to build us a little window to see what's going on outside of your phone so you can walk around and not bump into stuff are you telling me you wanna wear a VR headset in public while walking because that sounds like let's just say you know Starbucks that'd be nice I don't know order my coffee and not worry about knocking over my muffin I'm watching a video and looking like a tool anyway you won't look like a tool with the VR headset on right just knocking over a copy of the problem right kidding yeah it's a cool I'm noticing that it'd be nice to be able to because they're doing this whole a our VR merger thing and so I'm surprised that they haven't come out with the phone that has you know the dual camera feature where you can see overlay cuz I'm gonna draw their own you know what's going around their cell phone their face all the time anyways you might as well just wear it on your head yes it's coming it is it is correct so Christopher thanks so much for calling man we really appreciate it yeah oh thank you very much this is great awesome all right have a great day bye so I got that uh that's an elven okay I just wanted because we're time out yeah we'll show the video we'll talk about a couple things and we'll wrap this up but yeah this is a an SNL echo video like so for help blasted thing but the latest technology isn't always easy to use for people of a certain age kids um bought me a busted machine again that's why Amazon partnered with AARP to present the new Amazon echo silver the only smart speaker device designed specifically to be used by the greatest generation it's super loud and responds to any name even remotely close to Alexa so they can find out the weather Allegra what is the weather outside it is 74 degrees and sunny huh it is 74 degrees and sunny we're outside what about the temperature outside is 74 degrees and sunny I don't know about that alright anyways it's it's fine were there any other let's see highlight we talked about the system we talked about the home we talked about the machine learning low low lights were spending the YouTube part it was like I don't know it just it didn't help move anything for they they were pushing their super chat feature which is like yeah super chats there but you know it's a monetized way of getting attention I know they said okay find the money going here we'll be going a great cause but that's not always the case it's not like every person who's doing a livestream yet is gonna be like oh yeah this is all going to charity the idea is that creators are earning money from the chat and you're getting donations from your viewers in order to promote your chats higher and higher up so you can see I don't know if we do super chat on the livestream okay I was always asking chatters and they're like no no way no one wants to spend five bucks they're like hey let me treat read my comment yeah five bucks please please do that I'm in terms of other things that were highlights from the keynote I was really surprised that they've kind of buried Android oh yeah all the way at the end and we didn't find out what I was gonna be called either they didn't even announce a naming but even joke about it and there was so many like double entendre sinuan yeah we've been naming yeah we had um we had a lot of stuff we had Android Oh face we had fluid experience experiences I all those things were in there yeah I thought I thought they were gonna call the new VR stand-alone headset the wet dream instead of the daydream based on their track record from today was I'm trying to white balance something I'm not but why you getting out the Kleenexes and why is he pulling out the Kleenex and paper towels right that's white balancing the camera okay anyways that's how you know we're pretty much wrapped up so anyways there you go there you have it Google i/o lot a lot of great things that were really interesting the top first half was probably like is all the sweet stuff but get ready also they talked about kind of the Android go which is the scaled-down version that will match future versions of Android for kind of entry-level phones that's an initiative right for developing countries or you know entry-level phones to get Android on there but we will let you know everything else that's going on we have people on site they're breaking down what they saw there's demos um will have all the coverage here at cnet.com and so until next time I think our next keynote will be June 5th WWE which will be WWDC with Apple uh oh well the region will be they drop will they be
