10 Mind-Blowing Announcements from Google I/O 2025 That Will Redefine Tech

Google I/O 2025 wasn’t just another developer event — it was a clear signal of where the future is heading. From AI agents to voice-preserving translations, and video generation models to revolutionary coding tools, this year's I/O has raised the bar. Here are the 10 most jaw-dropping announcements you simply can't afford to miss:


1. Jules – Your Asynchronous Coding Agent

Google unveiled Jules, a powerful AI coding agent that uses Gemini 2.5 Pro to work across your GitHub repositories. Whether it’s fixing bugs, refactoring code, or managing multiple coding tasks asynchronously, Jules has got your back — and it’s free!


2. Live Speech Translation in Google Meet

Google Meet now supports real-time translation of your speech to another language while preserving your voice, tone, and expression. Currently available for English and Spanish — this is a game-changer for global communication.


3. Deep Think – Multi-Solution Reasoning

Gemini 2.5 Pro now includes Deep Think, a reasoning engine that can explore multiple solution paths and hypotheses in parallel. It aced LiveCodeBench and even outperformed OpenAI’s o3 model on MMMU.


4. Project Mariner – AI Web Browsing Agent

Imagine delegating web tasks like research and bookings to an AI agent. That’s what Project Mariner does — allowing up to 10 parallel tasks using cloud-based VMs. Available to Ultra users and via API.



5. Google Ultra Tier – $250/Month Power Plan

Introducing Ultra: Google’s new $250/month subscription that unlocks premium AI models and features like Mariner, Imagen 4, and Veo 3. For developers and power users, this is the ultimate upgrade.


6. Veo 3 – Next-Gen Video Generation

Google dropped a bomb with Veo 3 — an AI that generates high-quality videos with sound effects, dialogue, and background music, all in perfect sync. The silent AI video era is officially over.


7. Gemini-Powered AI Mode in Search

Google Search just leveled up with AI Mode powered by Gemini 2.5. Expect multimodal search, deep search capabilities, data visualization, and full integration with Project Astra and Mariner.


8. Gemini Diffusion – Text Generation Reinvented

Gemini Diffusion is Google's state-of-the-art text model that uses diffusion (like DALL·E) for generating text. It's ultra-fast (~1500 tokens/sec) and 5x faster than Gemini 2.0 Flash. Waitlist is open now!


9. Virtual Try-On for Online Shopping

Shopping meets AR! Upload a full-length photo while browsing clothes on Google and see how they look on you in real time. This Try-On feature is free and insanely intuitive.


10. Google Stitch + Replit – UI Design in Seconds

Creating stunning UIs has never been easier. With Google Stitch and Replit, developers can generate clean, responsive user interfaces with just a prompt. Available now with free monthly limits.

Stop Undervaluing Your Work: Why ₹3000 for a Website Is an Insult, Not a Deal

In the ever-growing world of freelancing and digital agencies, one challenge continues to plague developers, designers, and IT professionals alike — clients who treat our industry like a vegetable market. We recently experienced this firsthand at TechCognita. The Incident: From ₹10K to ₹3K? Seriously? A potential client reached out, asking for a static website with modern design, responsive layout, SEO optimization, and fast performance. We quoted them a fair price of ₹10,000 for a 4-5 page site built using React.js and Tailwind CSS — one-time cost. Their response? “Someone is doing it in ₹5,000…” We remained calm and explained the difference: Custom UI design Responsive performance Deployed on the client’s server SEO-friendly structure Long-term value They nodded along — until they dropped this line: “Another person will do it for ₹3,000.” Wait… what? From ₹10,000 to ₹3,000 — is this really a negotiation, or a garage ...

Two names dominate this space for developers building SaaS products, client dashboards, or mobile apps: Stripe and Razorpay . But which one is better for Indian developers in 2025?
