Google I/O will kick off a week after the company showed several new Android and Gemini features at this year's Android Show. Many of these AI-related announcements included the ability to command Gemini to book appointments on your behalf, an enhanced auto-fill that can pull your personal information from other places on your phone and the ability to create your own custom widgets that can automatically refresh with new information as needed.

While we expect Google to make more Android announcements over the course of the I/O conference, the show provides an initial jumpstart to the changes we'll see when Android 17 launches later this year.
