Google Rolls Out Gemini Agent as an Autonomous 'Workmate' for Offices

The tool is built to win enterprise customers by linking into workplace apps and offering model choice plus security and cost controls.

Overview

  • Google launched the Gemini Agent as an AI that can plan multi-step work, answer questions, draft content, and write code while acting with a distinct corporate identity.
  • The agent runs inside Google Workspace apps such as Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Calendar and Drive and is also available through Microsoft 365 and Slack integrations.
  • Gemini Agent picks the best model per task and currently uses Google’s Gemini family plus Anthropic’s Claude with plans to add more models over time.
  • Google markets enterprise features including role-based administration, security and governance tools, and built-in cost controls to meet corporate procurement needs.
  • Google is testing finance and legal variants, has shared its advanced Gemini 4 (Argon) with trusted cyber partners, and is positioning the product to compete for large corporate AI contracts.
