If Google can’t  make AI agents useful, maybe no one can

For years, tech companies have promised AI will give everyone a capable personal assistant but delivered something more like a clueless intern.

At I/O 2026, Google announced new AI agents for gathering information, planning events, summarizing your inbox and calendar, and more. The agents can run continuously in the background, and the ...

You write JSX, you get an mp4. Every animation is `interpolate(frame, [start, end], [from, to])`.
