Google Cloud announces ‘Gemini agent’ as ‘universal agent for work’ - 9to5Google

At Gemini at Work 2026, Google Cloud today announced the “Gemini agent” for enterprise customers.

Gemini agent is a “new single, universal agent for work” available in the Gemini Enterprise app, Workspace, and third-party services. Google says you can “give it objectives, not instructions.” It can answer questions, handle knowledge work, create media, and write/run code.

Besides functioning as a personal assistant, the Gemini agent can serve as a “team member, where it works on behalf of a group of people, like a project manager within a team, or on behalf of a specific role in an organization, like an analyst in your finance department.”

Liked by 3 people Under-the-hood, the Gemini agent “runs each job on the model that fits best.” This includes both the Gemini and Claude families of models today with support for other private and open models in the future.
