Google has officially shut down Project Mariner, an experimental AI project designed to perform tasks across the web. Announced in December 2024, the tool was capable of executing multi-step operations; however, Google confirmed it was retired on May 4th, 2026. The company noted that the technology behind the project has been integrated into other offerings, such as Gemini Agent and AI Mode, rather than simply disappearing. This move likely clears the way for new AI announcements expected at Google's upcoming I/O conference.
