How to use Google’s new information agents

Google announced new information agents in Search at I/O 2026 that users can create and customize.

The agents monitor topics, synthesize updates from multiple sources, and send alerts when something changes.

The rollout begins this summer for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the U.S., starting with AI Mode.

The move pushes Search toward proactive, always-on assistance for news, markets, travel, sports, and more.
