Google has unveiled Gemini 3, calling it the company’s biggest step toward more powerful AI tools. The new model is available starting today in Canada through the Gemini app, the Gemini API for developers, and through Vertex AI for businesses.
The company says Gemini 3 delivers better reasoning, stronger multimodal skills, and more interactive responses. It can handle images, video, and text together, and it’s designed to understand complex prompts with less back-and-forth.
CEO Sundar Pichai said the company’s goal is to bring all of Gemini’s abilities into one smarter system. “We’re introducing Gemini 3, our most intelligent model, that combines all of Gemini’s capabilities together so you can bring any idea to life,” he said on Tuesday. He added that the new version is “state-of-the-art in reasoning, built to grasp depth and nuance,” and that it’s now “much better at figuring out the context and intent behind your request.”
Google is rolling out a redesigned Gemini app with a cleaner layout and new tools that adjust to whatever you’re trying to do. The company is testing “generative interfaces,” which let the app create custom layouts on the fly. These can look like magazine-style pages or interactive panels built to match your prompt.
For example, asking Gemini to plan a vacation can produce a visual itinerary with photos and modules you can tap through. Asking it to explain an art gallery might generate an interactive guide you can scroll through like a mini-app.
One of the biggest changes is Gemini Agent, a feature that can carry out multi-step tasks inside the app. It can sort your inbox, manage your calendar, or help book something by pulling details from Gmail. Google says it uses Gemini 3’s reasoning tools to break tasks into steps, and it always asks for confirmation before things like booking or sending messages.
Gemini Agent is launching first in the U.S. for Google AI Ultra subscribers (sorry Canadians), but the company describes it as the next step toward a general-purpose AI assistant.
Google also introduced Antigravity, a new development platform for building “agentic” apps—basically tools that can perform tasks independently rather than just responding to prompts. Gemini 3 is available today through the Gemini API, AI Studio, Antigravity, and the Gemini CLI.
Now, there was a lot of info to unpack today, but here’s a summary of what Gemini 3 tools are available to Canadians and what’s U.S. only at launch.

Pichai said Gemini 3 builds on earlier versions and pushes the company closer to more personal and helpful AI. “In this new chapter, we’ll continue to push the frontiers of intelligence, agents, and personalization to make AI truly helpful for everyone,” he said. He also noted how fast things are moving: “It’s amazing to think that in just two years, AI has evolved from simply reading text and images to reading the room.”
Google says Gemini 3 Pro starts rolling out globally today, with upgrades like “Deep Think” for tougher reasoning and higher limits for subscribers.
While Google is blazing full steam ahead with Gemini, Apple can’t even get Siri right with Apple Intelligence, yet.
