How to use Google’s new information agents

TechCrunch
Google introduced AI information agents that continuously monitor topics and provide synthesized updates instead of static search results.

Summary

At the 2026 Google I/O, Google unveiled agentic AI capabilities for Search, allowing users to create agents that track interests 24/7. Unlike traditional search tools, these agents synthesize information from multiple sources to provide actionable insights and summaries on topics like finance, travel, and news. Accessed via AI Mode in Search, this feature allows users to receive push notifications for tracked events. The tool will launch this summer for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the U.S., alongside a major redesign of the Search interface to support more conversational and complex queries.
