Google launches a universal Gemini agent for enterprise work tasks

Google is launching a "universal" Gemini agent that works across apps and devices in the background, available in private preview to enterprise customers.

Users can chat with it and assign tasks from the Gemini Enterprise app, and it works inside Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Calendar as well as third-party apps like Slack and Microsoft 365.

The source notes it runs in the cloud, keeps the same context across devices, and can use job-specific sub-agents.
