Google is transforming its Gemini platform into an advanced AI agent capable of planning and executing multi-step tasks across enterprise systems. Initially rolling out to business customers, the agent can connect to various productivity tools, databases, and third-party models like Anthropic's Claude.
The system operates via a dedicated "tasks inbox," where users can monitor its progress and review its reasoning. Furthermore, the AI is granted its own workplace identity and email address, enabling it to integrate seamlessly into team communications and maintain a comprehensive audit trail.
