Google launches enterprise-focused universal Gemini AI agent in private preview

Google announced a universal Gemini AI agent designed for enterprise use, unveiled during the Gemini at Work event. The agent is accessible within the Gemini Enterprise app, enabling users to interact with it and assign tasks through a single interface.

The agent integrates with Google Workspace applications such as Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Calendar, and others, as well as third-party apps like Slack and Microsoft 365. It operates in the cloud, maintaining consistent context across connected devices.

Google states the agent can work with job-specific sub-agents to complete tasks and can function as a 'coworker agent' with its own identity, including an email address under the domain '@agents.company.com'.

The agent automatically selects an AI model best suited for the assigned task. It is currently available to enterprise customers in a private preview, though Google suggests it reflects a broader vision for an AI assistant capable of handling tasks across Workspace and the web from a unified interface.

Google previously introduced a consumer-facing Gemini Spark agent in May, which subscribers can use to perform tasks across Workspace and the web, but it operates through a separate interface within the Gemini app.
