Paige Bailey of Google DeepMind: New AI Demos & Dev Insights| Roo Code Podcast - Oct 16, 2025 Ep. 27

In this episode of Office Hours, host Hannes Rudolph is joined by Roo Code's CTO Matt and CEO Danny, along with special guest Paige Bailey from the Google DeepMind team. Paige kicks things off with an exclusive look at some of Google's latest and most powerful AI developer products, straight from the source. She provides live, in-depth demonstrations of new capabilities, including the impressive text-to-video model Veo 3.1, and showcases the new Computer Use API by tasking a Gemini agent to navigate the web, find a specific product, and add it to a shopping cart in real-time.The conversation then shifts to the future of software development in an AI-driven world, exploring how generative tools are fundamentally changing workflows for engineers at Google, where over 50% of all production code is now AI-generated. Paige shares insights on the internal debate between model speed versus quality, the shift away from traditional product requirement documents (PRDs) toward rapid AI-assisted prototyping, and how new multimodal interfaces like the Gemini Live API are poised to redefine how developers interact with their tools. The episode wraps with a look at Google's own AI-powered code review process and a discussion on the legendary Google monorepo.
