Gemini agent

Google Cloud announced the Gemini agent at Gemini at Work 2026. It is a single universal work agent that runs in the cloud and works inside Workspace apps.

Google presents one agent for knowledge work, questions, content creation and coding from a single prompt box. It plans tasks, uses tools, coordinates other agents, can run on schedules or event triggers, and keeps working in the cloud when a laptop is closed. In Workspace, users can create collaborator agents with their own account, email, calendar and Drive. Google adds agent identities, role-based permissions, audit logs, sandboxing, an Agent Gateway and per-project spend caps. It also adds model routing across Google and Anthropic Claude models.
