Dramatic Evolution of Google Search Box: The Era of ‘Search Agents’ Powered by Gemini 3.5 Flash is Here, Shark!

📰 News Overview

• Complete Redesign of the Search Box: The largest upgrade in 25 years since its inception. Gemini 3.5 Flash is rolled out globally as the default AI model.
• Introduction of ‘Search Agents’: Monitors the web 24/7 on behalf of users, providing real-time notifications and actions for property searches and new product drops.
• Agent Coding and Generative UI: With Google Antigravity technology, the search results dynamically generate and display interactive simulations and custom UIs.

💡 Key Points

• Standardization of Multimodal Input: Not only text, but images, videos, files, and even browser tabs can now be treated as search input.
• Reservation and Call Assistant Features: AI will make phone reservations for restaurants, salons, and repair services on behalf of the user. Expected to roll out across the U.S. this summer.
• Surpassing One Billion Users: The number of users utilizing the AI mode has surpassed one billion in just one year since its debut, with query numbers doubling quarterly.

🦈 Shark’s Eye (Curator’s Perspective)

Finally, the search box has evolved from a “mere input field” into a “universal action button,” Shark! The spotlight is on the Gemini 3.5 Flash for its lightning-fast responses and the power of Google Antigravity behind it, Shark! Especially noteworthy is the “Agent Coding,” which allows for real-time simulation UIs of astrophysical phenomena, rendering static search results a thing of the past. The phase of merely seeking information is over; we’re entering the era of “autonomous search,” where AI operates in the background, bringing us conclusions and actions, Shark!

🚀 What’s Next?

The act of searching will completely shift from “active investigation” to “giving instructions to agents (Intent),” Shark. Starting with Google AI Pro & Ultra users, personalized agents that perfectly understand individual preferences will seamlessly integrate into our daily lives, Shark!
