Google LLC’s Cloud division today introduced Gemini agent, a unified artificial intelligence assistant that can act autonomously, generate code and complete work across any device, including web, mobile and desktop.
The new agentic AI experience can be accessed anywhere and through any channel, including the command line, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or Slack. It even works within third-party apps and requires no dedicated interface. It is designed to be “omnipresent” and work wherever the user is.
Google Cloud Chief Executive Thomas Kurian said Gemini can answer questions, handle knowledge work, create images and media or take ideas and turn them into finished products.
“You give it objectives, not instructions. You delegate an outcome and come back to finished work,” he explained. “For an agent to do that, it has to be connected to your personal workflows, your systems of record, and your enterprise controls.”
The new agentic experience also follows a common trend in the AI industry: persistent execution. That means it maintains a single set of memories, context and personalization across all communication channels with all its sub-agents. It acts as a teammate that remembers everything the user tells it and can spin out smaller coworker agents with their own dedicated identities and expertise, with their own @agents.company.com emails and their own persistent storage. They also have access only to the context the user or team members provide.
Google Cloud added that the Gemini agent provides flexibility in model choice. Each job runs on a model fitting the task at hand. Simple tasks might run on Gemini Flash, a small, quick model for simple day-to-day tasks or a flagship frontier model like Argon for long-horizon work. Anthropic PBC Claude models are also available today, with other leading private and open models coming later.
