Google I/O 2026 was a turning point for anyone building a business on these tools. In one focused hour we cut through the announcements and keep only what matters if you run or build the systems your company depends on. We organize it around three ideas that decide whether a system holds up in the real world: Context, Execution, and Oversight.

You will leave knowing what actually changed. Google made context grounding a first class feature, so the way you synthesize information now becomes an asset that compounds. The model layer caught up to action, and you can now build and own these systems on your own cloud. And the tooling for checking and trusting what a system produces moved to the center.

We will also open the door to our new monthly series, The CEO's Guide to System Design, running July through December. Free, virtual, real discussion, and something useful right away.
