Google Launches Agentic AI with Gemini, Focused on Enterprise Use
At a Google Cloud event, Google announced the launch of an agentic version of its Gemini AI designed to perform tasks autonomously for users. This new agent can plan work, use custom tools, and connect to internal business systems like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. The company emphasized that this move aligns with broader trends in AI evolving from conversational interfaces into task-oriented agents. Google CEO Sundar Pichai highlighted Gemini's widespread adoption, noting over one billion monthly active users and nearly universal use among Fortune 100 companies for its enterprise version. Google will initially roll out the agent to businesses before expanding it to consumers, aiming to address complex issues like security and performance first. The AI can be managed via a tasks inbox interface and has access to internal data such as team structures and calendars. The new Gemini Enterprise agent is already being tested by companies including On, Shopify, and PayPal. Google also announced flexible spending options for businesses using the service, aiming to help manage enterprise AI costs more effectively.
