Google Launches Universal Gemini Agent for Enterprise Work Tasks

Google's New Enterprise Gemini Agent

Google is launching a "universal" Gemini AI agent designed to handle work tasks across apps and devices in the background. The tool was announced as part of the Gemini at Work event on Thursday and will be available within the Gemini Enterprise app, where users can chat with the agent and assign it tasks from a single interface.

One Interface Across Apps and Devices

In addition to working directly inside Workspace apps like Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Calendar, users can interact with the agent from their mobile device, desktop computer, the web, and third-party apps such as Slack or Microsoft 365. Because the agent runs in the cloud, Google says it maintains the same context across all connected devices.

Sub-Agents and a Coworker Identity

Google says Gemini can work with job-specific sub-agents to complete tasks and can also operate as a "coworker agent" with a dedicated identity and its own "@agents.company.com" email address. The agent automatically selects the AI model that best fits the job at hand.

Private Preview and Consumer Comparison

The Gemini agent is currently available only to enterprise customers in private preview. Google previously launched its consumer-facing Gemini Spark agent in May, which subscribers can use to perform tasks across Workspace and on the web, though it is available through a separate interface within the Gemini app.
