Google introduces Gemini agent as a single universal agent for work

Google introduced a new Gemini agent that combines question answering, knowledge work, image and media creation, and code writing in one prompt box.

The agent connects to personal workflows, systems of record, and enterprise controls, and runs in the cloud with a shared memory and personalization graph.

It can create sub-agents for multi-step tasks, act as a coworker agent with its own identity, and orchestrate across multiple models to balance quality and cost.
