Google I/O 2026: Persistent information agents in Search operate 24/7 and redefine traditional search

Colleagues, a quick AI update: at Google I/O 2026 Google unveiled "information agents" in Search — persistent assistants that monitor topics and deliver notifications.

Key points:
- Agents run 24/7, aggregate signals across sources and provide synthesized conclusions, not just links.
- Use cases: stocks, ticket prices, news, reports, weather, traffic.
- Managed via AI Mode: queries, alerts, history and topic settings.
- Rolling out this summer, initially to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the U.S.

Why it matters: shift from one-off queries to continuous monitoring and actionable recommendations.

How will you use such agents?
