The tool, announced as part of the Gemini at Work event on Thursday, will be available within the Gemini Enterprise app, allowing users to chat with the Gemini agent and assign it tasks from a single interface.In addition to having Gemini work directly inside Workspace apps like Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Calendar, and others, users can interact with the agent from their mobile device, desktop computer, the web, and third-party apps like Slack or Microsoft 365.
Since it runs in the cloud, Gemini will maintain the same context across all connected devices.Google says Gemini can also work with job-specific sub-agents to complete tasks, as well as operate as a “coworker agent” with a dedicated identity and its own “@agents.company.com” email. Gemini will automatically perform tasks using an AI model that best fits the job.The Gemini agent is currently only available to enterprise customers in private preview, but it may offer a glimpse into Google’s broader vision for the AI assistant that can answer questions and perform work for you from a single window. Google previously launched its consumer-facing Gemini Spark agent in May, which subscribers can use to perform tasks across Workspace and on the web, but it’s available through a separate interface within the Gemini app.Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Emma RothAIGoogleNewsTechMost PopularGoogle invests millions in Mark Zuckerberg’s efforts to create a ‘virtual cell’New leaks provide our first look at Apple and LG’s smart home devicesHow Microsoft built its MacBook Pro competitorXbox has secured GTA 6 streaming rightsSurface RTX Spark Dev Box is available for preorder for $5,999Advertiser Content FromThis is the title for the native ad
