How Google I/O 2026 Went
The 2026 keynote made one thing clear: the agentic web has moved from research to production. Google laid out an integrated stack that lets AI agents act autonomously as users, developers, and buyers, with major implications for any B2B SaaS company that wants to stay discoverable. The takeaway for builders: it's no longer enough to be rankable in search; products need to be discoverable and callable by agents.
