Google introduced Gmail Live at I/O 2026, a voice-powered feature that lets users search emails using natural voice commands instead of typing keywords.

Redis unveiled Iris, a context and memory platform designed to fix the structural data problem causing production AI agents to fail.

With components including Context Retriever, Agent Memory, and Redis Data Integration, the launch signals a broader industry shift away from traditional RAG approaches.
Paris-based Dust secured $40M in Series B funding led by Abstract and Sequoia to advance its multiplayer AI platform. The company challenges the single-player AI model where assistants operate in silos, proposing instead a shared workspace where humans and AI agents collaborate with governed access to the same information.

Google is overhauling its AI Search experience to include direct quotes from Reddit, discussion boards, and social media posts in a new Expert Advice section.
