Overview
- On June 24, 2026 Google announced that Gemini 3.5 Flash now has a built-in computer use tool that replaces the prior standalone Gemini 2.5 computer-use model.
- The capability is available to developers and enterprises today through the Gemini API and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform with a live demo and reference implementation hosted by Browserbase.
- Chrome 149 is rolling out a new Select from screen feature that lets users drag text or images from the current tab into Gemini prompts to simplify visual inputs for agents.
- Google said it trained the model against adversarial prompt attacks and released two optional enterprise safeguards that can require explicit human confirmation for sensitive actions or automatically stop tasks on suspected indirect prompt injection.
- The change makes agentic automation practical for tasks like continuous software testing and documentation audits but raises safety and governance questions that Google says must be managed with sandboxing, human review and strict access controls.
