Google Please Do This At Google I/O 🙏🏾
John Gruber provides a genius script for what Google should do at Google I/O 2025:
Presenter: This is a live demo, on my Pixel 9. I need to pick my mom up at the airport and she sent me an email with her flight information. [Invokes Gemini on phone in hand…] Gemini, when is my mom’s flight landing?
Gemini: Your mom’s flight is on time, and arriving at SFO at 11:30.
Presenter: I don’t always remember to add things to my calendar, and so I love that Gemini can help me keep track of plans that I’ve made in casual conversation, like this lunch reservation my mom mentioned in a text. [Invokes Gemini…] What’s our lunch plan?
Gemini: You’re having lunch at Waterbar at 12:30.
Presenter: How long will it take us to get there from the airport?
People have been laying it on thick on Apple for their massive misstep of Apple Intelligence marketing a product that was never ready to sell another product. As John Gruber said in his blog post, Google should do a live demo of the exact thing that Apple said Siri would be able to do in front of a live audience in a live stream to truly prove that Gemini and Google Pixel are great products and a match made in tech heaven.
As John Gruber said, Apple just handed Google a potential marketing gift.
