Casey, I couldn't help but notice that during much of the I.O.

keynote, you were on your phone playing Bellatro and doing emails on your laptop.

I'm Kevin Ruse, a tech columnist at The New York Times.

I'm Casey Noon from Platformer.

Did you delay it?

Yeah.

You're always doing that.

Yes, this is like the Coachella of capitalism, the Warped Tour of the web, the Lollapalooza of links.

Mm-hmm.

I can keep going.

Please don't.

And they are doing a lot.

We heard about everything from like agentic search to these new like video editing models and products that they have, all the way to Demis Hassabis at the end of the keynote declaring that we are in the foothills of the singularity.

I love that Google's version of the Steve Jobs one more thing is like, one more thing, the singularity.

A great way to end.

So yeah, what was your standout?

Yeah, there was a lot of focus on agentic stuff like agentic coding.

They have this new agentic search mode, which basically is sort of the fancy upgrade to Google Alerts.

You can have it sort of tell you when there's like a new home listed on Zillow or a new baseball score you might care about or something like that.

I was really interested that they seem to be betting very big on cost and speed.
