How to use Google’s new AI agents to go beyond your standard searches

TechCrunch
Google has introduced AI-powered agents in Search that perform continuous monitoring and synthesis of information to keep users updated on their interests.

Summary

Google unveiled new agentic capabilities at its I/O 2026 keynote, allowing users to create AI agents that operate 24/7 to track specific topics. Unlike traditional search, these agents synthesize data from multiple sources to provide actionable insights and alerts, effectively serving as an advanced evolution of Google Alerts. Users can manage these agents via AI Mode in the Google app, with a rollout beginning for U.S. Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers this summer.
