Google Cloud launches Gemini agent as single universal work agent

Google Cloud announced the Gemini agent, a single agent that answers questions, handles knowledge work, creates media, and writes and runs code from one prompt box. It runs in the cloud with persistent memory, uses multi-agent orchestration, and adds Workspace integration, domain skills for data and industries, identity-based governance through Agent Gateway, and spend caps. The source also cites customer deployments and says nearly 80% of Google Cloud customers use its AI products.
