Sundar Pichai – CEO, Google

Good morning. Good morning. Wonderful to be back here at Shoreline with all of you.

It’s been a really busy few months for us at Google. We just wrapped up Cloud Next in San Francisco with over 30,000 attendees, as well as YouTube Brandcast last week in New York.

Of course, today’s about you all, our developer community. And thank you all for joining us in person, and to the millions around the world watching on livestream.

I would love to say welcome in all our languages our viewers speak, but we are going to keep the keynote under two hours, especially since Barcelona kicks off against Liverpool at noon for you. That should be an amazing game.

Every year at I/O, we learn and try to make things a little bit better. That’s why we have lots of sunscreen — hope the sun comes out — plenty of water and shade. But this year, we want to make it easier for you to get around. So we are using AR to help.

To get started, open your I/O app and choose Explore I/O. And then you can just point your phone where you want to go. We really hope this helps you get around and answers the number one question people have: where the sessions are. Actually, it’s not that. They want to know where the food is. And we have plenty of it around.

We also have a couple of Easter eggs, and we hope you enjoy them as well. This is a pretty compelling use case. And we actually want to generalize this approach so that you can explore and navigate the whole world that way. There’s a lot of hard work ahead. And it’s a hard computer science problem. But it’s the type of challenge we love.

Tackling these kinds of problems is what has kept us going for the past 21 years. And it all begins with our mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.

And today, our mission feels as relevant as ever. But the way we approach it is constantly evolving. We are moving from a company that helps your find answers to a company that helps you get things done.

This morning, we’ll introduce you to many products built on a foundation of user trust and privacy. And I’ll talk more about that later.

We want our products to work harder for you, in the context of your job, your home, and your life. And they all share a single goal: to be helpful, so we can be there for you in moments big and small over the course of your day. For example, helping you write your emails faster with automatic solutions from Smart Reply, and giving you the chance to take them back if you didn’t get it right the first time, helping you find the fastest route home at the end of a long day, and when you get there, removing distractions so that you can spend time with the people most important to you.
