“In 2016, [@SundarPichai] had declared Google would be an “AI-first company,” and began cultivating a series of projects—custom chips, Cloud, YouTube, and deep AI research—that seemed to have nothing to do with Google’s core search product. All of these bets have paid off, and then some.” — @TIME in their new #TIME100Companies cover story on Alphabet and AI → time.com/collection/time100-…

We’re bringing new capabilities powered by Gemini models to @googlemaps.
With Ask Maps, get answers to complex questions about any place you want. For example it can help with complex requests like "Find me the best 3-hour family hikes in the Grand Tetons and a spot for a packed lunch”. Will try this next time I'm there:)
Rolling out now in the US and India.

The real story behind Google Earth is absolutely wild.
It started as an $800/year 3D tool used to cover the war in Iraq. Then Google bought it — and made it free.
Then it:
- Saved 4,000 lives in Hurricane Katrina
- Reunited lost families across continents
- Discovered unknown forests and species
- Became essential for investigative journalism
Along the way, Google realized they had accidentally built a Wayback Machine for the planet. Now, it's becoming an AI-powered crystal ball.
