In:Sync | V4 — Staying Ahead, Together\

Welcome back to another edition of In:Sync, where the entire Google Developers Group community, WTM, and creators come together to explore new technologies, fresh ideas, collaboration, and everything in between.

If you read our previous edition, In:Sync v3, you witnessed the hype as DevFest 2025 registrations went live and how the VIP and Early Bird passes were sold out in no time! If you managed to grab one, great call! Now, let’s dive into what this edition has for you!

Staying Ahead of the Curve

New from Google: Gemini rolls out on Android Auto!

Google is rolling out Gemini directly into Android Auto, making in-car help quicker and more conversational. You can now ask follow-up questions, get summaries, send messages, or handle tasks hands-free while staying focused on driving. The rollout has started in select regions, with more refinements coming soon.

Microsoft Ignite 2025:

At Microsoft Ignite 2025, Microsoft 365 Copilot just introduced Work IQ, an intelligence layer that understands your work patterns and gives more contextual, personalised responses. It also adds smoother voice interaction on mobile, faster email actions in Outlook, and a secure AI chat for all users, making everyday workflows feel more connected and effortless.

Did you Know?

The internet’s earliest “CAPTCHA moment” wasn’t intentional.

The first CAPTCHA-style test popped up on AltaVista in 1997, and everyone thought the site had broken. Turns out, it was actually the internet’s first move against bots.

Eyes on DevFest

Registrations for DevFest Nagpur 2025 are already underway, and the response has been incredible. Early Bird tickets sold out very fast, setting the tone for this year.

Regular Passes and VIP Passes are now open and moving quickly. There are only 10 VIP passes remaining, so if you’re planning to experience DevFest up close, with speaker interactions, premium goodies, and more now’s the right moment to step in.

And yes, the venue is officially confirmed: Tuli International, Nagpur.

A signature location with the space, scale, and atmosphere this community deserves.

Expect buzzing halls, packed sessions, and conversations that spark real traction.

We've locked in our first round of amazing speakers! But hold on, there's more to come! The 2025 theme reveal is on its way! This core idea will set the stage for the whole event and is designed to spark real action we’re building toward something big.

Stay tuned, stay excited, stay In:Sync, and keep an eye on our socials for more amazing updates.
