YouTube is where teens come to watch what they love. That’s why we’ve spent a decade building tailored products for our youngest viewers: from the launch of the YouTube Kids app in 2015, to a supervised experience for pre-teens in 2021, to the expansion of built-in protections to more U.S. teens last summer. When I talk to parents and experts about what they want from platforms like YouTube, they tend to focus on three areas: controls that teach kids how to consume responsibly, content that’s age-appropriate, and the right experience for every age. Today we’re sharing a few updates to help parents tailor their family’s YouTube experience, especially for teens. They’ll soon be able to: - Set the amount of time their teens spend scrolling Shorts (including to zero, which is an industry-first) - Set custom Take a Break and Bedtime reminders for supervised accounts - More seamlessly create new kid accounts and switch between them in the mobile app We’ve also developed new principles and a creator guide to ensure our platform elevates fun, helpful and enriching content in partnership with the Center for Scholars & Storytellers at UCLA, the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children's Hospital, the American Psychological Association and other global organizations.

Today, we’re introducing Personal Intelligence in the Gemini app. With your permission, Gemini can now securely connect information from Google apps like Gmail, Google Photos, Search and YouTube history with a single tap to make Gemini uniquely helpful to you. What does this look like in practice? Instead of digging through multiple tabs or apps, you can just ask Gemini. Here are a few examples of how you might use it: 🚗 Car maintenance: By referencing connected apps like Gmail and Photos, it can understand your car’s make and model, and even the types of trips you take, to give recommendations of tires and info like your license plate number to make your visit to the auto shop go more smoothly. ✈️ Travel planning: Ask for things to do in Chicago, and it uses your travel dates and love for nature photography found in Google Photos to suggest spots you'll like — not just generic "Top 10" lists. We know that connecting your personal apps requires trust. That’s why we built this with privacy at the center. You can disconnect your apps or delete your chat history at any time. This new beta feature is rolling out over the next week to eligible Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers in the U.S. Available for personal Google accounts. Coming soon to more countries, the free tier, and AI Mode in Search. Learn more → goo.gle/45UYGGn

Great to be at #NRF2026 yesterday in NYC! I shared some thoughts on how AI is going to transform every aspect of the shopping journey and how retail businesses are run. Incoming Walmart CEO John Furner joined me on stage to talk more about the opportunities for retailers ahead. What we’ve learned as a company from the last 27 years of working with retailers is that we only succeed together. Our goal is to build a future of retail where the opportunity space expands for everyone. That includes laying the groundwork for AI agents and systems to talk to each other across every step of the shopping journey. As a next step we introduced the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP), available starting today. It’s built to meet the needs of retailers and customers— from the moments of discovery to decision and beyond. It’s open, agnostic, built together with industry leaders Shopify, Etsy, Wayfair, Target and Walmart, and endorsed by 20+ more. There’s a lot that UCP will enable, and we are starting with native checkout. Soon you’ll see a buy button directly on Google surfaces including AI Mode in Search and Gemini. We also introduced a new Gemini Enterprise for Customer Experience. Now in preview, this helps retailers build sophisticated agents for their own apps. That includes a shopping agent that provides personalized, proactive help, bringing the power of AI Mode right to a retailer’s app or website. Delivery is another important step that AI can help transform. Wing’s autonomous drone deliveries, in partnership with Walmart, have shown impressive expansion - and will be coming to another 150 stores, in addition to the 120 already announced. Starting in Houston on January 15, and will reach 40M people by the end of the expansion. A big year for AI in retail, and we’re excited for this next chapter of partnership.

I spent the day at #NRF2026 and spoke with many retailers about the future of agentic commerce. There is a lot of excitement across the industry to solve for complex and disjointed shopping journeys, with shoppers juggling tabs and re-entering information, and retailers losing sales to friction. We announced new tools to create a more seamless experience for both shoppers and businesses: 🛒 It starts with a common language. The new Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) is an open standard for agentic commerce we built alongside key retail partners to allow different shopping agents and systems to work together effortlessly across the entire shopping journey. To start, this protocol powers our new checkout feature. Shoppers soon can buy products confidently and securely right from AI Mode in Search and the Gemini app. 💬 We're also bridging the gap between discovery and purchase with Business Agent, a customizable AI chat that allows shoppers to connect with retailers on Search. Acting as a virtual sales associate, it answers product questions in a brand's unique voice during critical shopping moments to help drive sales. 🎯 Direct Offers, a new Google Ads pilot, can help connect advertisers with high-intent shoppers in AI Mode. It moves beyond traditional ads by providing exclusive deals—like a special discount—at the exact moment a shopper is ready to buy, delivering greater value for customers and closing the sale for retailers.

I’ve been testing some of the new Gemini for Google TV features that were announced at #CES2026 and that are coming out this year – and it’s been a lot of fun. Google TV launched Gemini on their platform in September, and are already doing a lot more to make the experience even more intuitive and interactive. With the next generation of Gemini on your Google TV, you can ask questions and get customized, visually rich answers —like content recs or even a full explainer of an educational topic. And there’s deeper integrations with Google Photos. You can find stuff easier and with Nano Banana and Veo, you can remix old personal photos and create videos from them. It introduces a sense of playfulness to TV that I think is pretty cool. 🪩🕺 Huge props to all the teams involved! Check out everything that Google TV announced → https://lnkd.in/g_7rMvgs
