On April 10, 2026, Google said restaurant booking in AI Mode is expanding beyond the U.S. for the first time, adding eight markets. The move extends Google Search’s agentic reservation flow from a U.S. experiment into a broader international commerce surface.
Google says coding agents often produce stale Gemini API code because model training data has a cutoff date, and is shipping Docs MCP plus Developer Skills as the fix. Used together, Google reports a 96.3% pass rate with 63% fewer tokens per correct answer than vanilla prompting on its eval set.
Google is adding Flex and Priority service tiers to the Gemini API so developers can choose lower-cost synchronous inference for background work or higher-assurance routing for critical traffic. The change gives agent builders a cleaner way to separate cost and reliability without splitting architectures across multiple APIs.
Google introduced notebooks in Gemini on April 8, 2026, adding a shared workspace that syncs chats and source files with NotebookLM. The initial rollout starts on the web for Google AI Ultra, Pro, and Plus subscribers, with mobile, more European countries, and free users to follow.
