Google Launches Universal Gemini AI Agent for Enterprise Work Tasks
Google has introduced a new universal Gemini AI agent designed to streamline enterprise work tasks across multiple platforms and applications. The tool, unveiled during the Gemini at Work event on October 8, 2026, operates through the Gemini Enterprise app, enabling users to interact with an AI assistant from one centralized interface. This agent can perform background tasks in Google Workspace apps like Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Calendar, and third-party platforms such as Slack or Microsoft 356. The Gemini agent maintains consistent context across devices due to its cloud-based operation and supports job-specific sub-agents for specialized functions. It also features a 'coworker agent' with an assigned email address (e.g., @agents.company.com) that can autonomously perform tasks using the most suitable AI model. Currently in private preview, it is available only to enterprise customers but hints at Google's broader vision of consolidating task management into one unified interface. This launch follows the May 2026 release of Gemini Spark for consumers and reflects Google’s growing focus on integrating AI across its ecosystem.
