Google I/O 2019: How to watch livestream, see keynote and full schedule – CNET

Today, more than 7,000 developers are gathering on the grounds of the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California, to attend the annual Google I/O developer conference. But if you don’t have a ticket to the annual event, watch Google I/O live here. Google CEO Sundar Pichai kicked off the event this morning with his opening keynote address, discussing the products Google makes for your home, car and life.

(It’s a good week to be a developer on the West Coast: Google’s three-day event overlaps with the Microsoft Build conference, being held in Seattle.)

I/O runs May 7 to May 9 and began this morning with a keynote address from Google CEO Sundar Pichai at 10 a.m. PT.

Google Duplex

Unveiled at last year’s Google I/O, Duplex began as an automated method for placing calls on your behalf to perform a few services, such as making reservations at a restaurant, using natural conversation. Today, Google said it is bringing Duplex to the web, helping you complete tasks in more places.
