Google Cloud launched the Gemini agent, a single AI assistant for work that plans tasks, uses tools, and integrates with Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slack, and even Microsoft 365.
Key points:
- Picks the best model per task (Gemini and Claude for now)
- Lets you spin up "coworker agents" with their own inboxes and scoped access
- Finance and legal versions are in preview
The poster notes the agentic workplace is arriving fast — execution now matters more than demos.
