May 12 (Reuters) - Alphabet's Google has been
demonstrating to employees and outside developers an array of
different products, including an AI agent for software
development, ahead of its annual developer conference, The
Information reported on Monday.
The agent is intended to help software engineers navigate
every stage of the software process, from responding to tasks to
documenting code, the report said, citing three people who have
seen demonstrations of the product or been told about it by
Google employees.
The tech giant may also demonstrate the integration of its
Gemini AI chatbot, in voice mode, with its Android XR glasses
and headset, according to the report.
Google did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for
comment.
Investors have been piling pressure on Google to show
returns on the billions poured into artificial intelligence as
competition intensifies in the industry. The company's search
and ad tech businesses also face a threat from antitrust
regulators.
Google's I/O conference is set to be held next week in
Mountain View California, with the keynote scheduled for May 20.
