Google shows off the Gemini agent, an AI assistant and teammate in one

Google's new Gemini agent AI is meant to be both a personal assistant and a team member. It isn't public yet, but startups can talk to Google's sales team.

Summary

Google introduced the Gemini agent, one AI agent built to act as your personal assistant and as a dedicated member of your team. It runs in the cloud, keeps memory across session, semantic, procedural and episodic contexts, and can route work to Gemini, Claude or Gemma models. Google says the new capabilities aren't publicly available yet.

What changed

  • Each Gemini agent gets its own Workspace account, email address, Drive storage and directory presence.
  • The agent runs in the cloud with continuous memory across four dimensions.
  • Workloads can be routed across Gemini models, Anthropic's Claude and open Gemma models.
  • Hard, real-time spend caps can be set in the Cloud Billing Console, and the agent pauses when it hits one.

Availability

Announced — not available yet

“While these new Gemini agent capabilities are not publicly available yet, startups can contact our sales team to learn more and discuss how to get ready.”

Founder takeaway

Nothing to do yet, because the new Gemini agent capabilities aren't public. If you want to get ready, contact Google's sales team and ask how to prepare.
