What is Google AI?
Google AI is the umbrella page Google uses to present its artificial intelligence work. It does not run a single tool itself. Instead it links to a range of products and platforms: the Gemini chat assistant, AI Mode in Google Search, Gemini Notebook for research, Google Flow for creative work, Gemini for business, and AI features inside Google Maps, Photos, Workspace and Chrome. Under a Build section it points to developer resources such as Google AI Studio, the Gemini API, Gemma models, Lyria for music and audio, and coding assistance through Colab, Jules and Gemini Code Assist.
The page also covers Google's research areas (health, quantum AI, science, sustainability, economy), its AI principles, safety and policy statements, and learning resources such as AI skills courses. You use the page to find the right product or developer tool, and each linked item has its own sign-up or access route.
