Why Google’s stack is different
Google’s AI tools connect to products billions of people already use: Search, Gmail, Docs, Drive, YouTube, and Android.
Its stack covers:
- Chat and research
- Source-grounded notebooks
- Images and video
- Interface design
- Coding and agents
- Work apps
- Advertising
The advantage is not one tool. It is how they connect.
