The search box lets you write code on the spot! Google Search upgrades: automatically builds apps and can even make phone calls for users.

According to Beating's monitoring, search engines are evolving from simple navigation sites that present web page links into intelligent workshops where users can write code and actively run tasks. At Google I/O on May 19, 2026, Google officially announced a major evolution for Search: AI Mode, which had surpassed 1 billion monthly active users within a year of its launch, would be upgraded to the Gemini 3.5 Flash model by default for free, and for the first time integrate the Antigravity programming framework. This would allow users to write code on-site within the search box based on their needs, generating customized mini-apps and simulators in real time. The most significant breakthrough in this upgrade lies in "on-site programming and generative UI." When users search for complex concepts or tasks requiring long-term tracking, Search will not only provide text answers but will also directly write code in the background and render an interactive component (such as a gear-driven simulator or an interactive data chart). For repetitive search tasks such as wedding planning, moving progress tracking, or gym check-ins, Search can even write code from scratch and package it into a custom mini-app or dashboard for users. This app automatically accesses APIs such as Google Maps, real-time weather, and local reviews, which users can save for long-term use. The search box itself has also received its biggest upgrade in 25 years: supporting multimodal input including text, images, videos, documents, and Chrome tabs, and providing intelligent AI-powered keyword suggestions. Furthermore, search has officially entered the era of intelligent agents. The "information agent" can scan the entire internet 24/7 in the cloud background, immediately notifying users when complex requirements are met (such as finding properties that fit their budget and school district, or a sneaker release); the "ticketing agent" can book complex local services with a single click. Even more revolutionary, in the US, users can directly ask Google to "call businesses on your behalf" to book beauty or housekeeping services. Currently, AI Mode, which defaults to Gemini 3.5 Flash, is available globally; "Information Agent" and "On-site Mini App" will be launched in the US this summer for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers; "Make a call on behalf of the user" and "One-click ticketing" features will also be rolled out in the US this summer.
