Project Genie is a Google Labs experiment that lets you simulate dynamic worlds you can navigate in real time with Genie, our general-purpose world model.

Today, we’re connecting Project Genie to nearly 20 years of Street View data from Google Maps — so you can now build interactive spaces based on real-world locations.

Street View imagery in Project Genie is available now for places in the U.S., and will expand to more locales over time.

We’re introducing Universal Cart — a new hub for shopping on Google. 🛍️

It will work across merchants and across services, so you’ll be able to add things to your cart whether you're shopping on Search, the Gemini App, YouTube or Gmail.
