Gustavo Soares

I work at Google. My interests are in AI, software engineering, and human-computer interaction, with a focus on agents, realistic benchmarks, and learning from feedback.

I joined Google in October 2026 after nine years at Microsoft, where I worked on program synthesis tools for Visual Studio, early Copilot Chat and agent experiences, and most recently agents for Excel. I received my Ph.D. from the Federal University of Campina Grande in 2014 and was a postdoctoral researcher at UC Berkeley.
