The illustration for this year's Doodle was themed around leaning on your support system when you need assistance. We took more chances to come together as we emerged from the COVID-19 epidemic. Even our summer interns hybridized. This year, there was a look at what the internet giant was up to.

We made Search more natural and intuitive. Multisearch near me is a new way to search using images and text at the same time, helping you snap a picture or take a Screenshot, and then find it nearby instantly. Tools were announced to make shopping easier and to find and book health care providers. We launched a new look for the internet search engine. It was easier for you to find high-quality information when you checked the facts.

There are updates that make Maps look and feel more like the real world, and we showed them to the public. Maps added new features to help plan your next adventure, all while saving money on tolls. There is a new attribute for business owners in the U.S. that is available on Search and Maps.

At our annual Made by Google event, we showed off our latest hardware products, including the first full-feature premium watch from the company. The watch works perfectly with the two new phones, the Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro.

There were new products this year from easy-to-use trackers to fitness focused watches. You can use your fitness tracker to learn more about your health.

The premium membership is included in the full lineup.

New ways for your devices to work together were announced by us. Our Messages app got even better, so you might want to ask Apple to use RCS instead of sending text messages. Do you think it's sound good? We made it easy to switch to the mobile operating system.

Each of the browsers released their 100th major update. New changes with smart canvas were seen by users of the workspace. You can have more conversations with the assistant. Improving skin tone representation in photos is one of the ways technology is being used to serve everyone. It can be easier to do things across all devices with the help of the Google Assistant.

Every day, many of the products you use are powered by artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence can scale helpful technologies worldwide, in fields such as breast cancer research and maternal health. We can use it to create a more helpful Chrome browser, formulate great search results, and add new languages to the Translate service. It can create an image of a puppy hatching out of an egg.

The company stepped up to help when war broke out in Ukranian. Enhancements to Search and Maps were made possible by philanthropic support and security enhancements. Throughout the year, we have supported refugees and displaced people through our products and partnerships.

All our work this year was focused on the planet. The Bay View campus in California is all-electric and water-positive, with the largest Geothermal installation in North America. We helped you make sustainable choices when buying a phone and helping you tackle climate change.

There is a new fund to prepare students for careers of the future, as well as a continued partnership with Goodwill.

For this year's Teacher Appreciation Week, we offered awards to every state teacher of the year, and we also worked with food banks to deliver 50 million meals to people in need. We have given $2 billion to nonprofits in the last year.

We had a lot of fun despite the challenges. We took you behind the scenes of your favorite products and the people who make them, from the person who taught his dog to talk to the one who calculated 100 trillion digits of pi. We published a lot of tips and tricks to help you maximize your use of the products.

Last year we released a list of everything we said in 2021.
