Google announced a “universal” Gemini AI agent designed to handle work tasks across apps and devices. Revealed at the Gemini at Work event on Thursday, the agent is available within the Gemini Enterprise app, where users can chat with it and assign tasks from a single interface.
Beyond operating directly inside Workspace apps such as Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Calendar, the agent can be accessed from mobile devices, desktop computers, the web, and third-party apps including Slack and Microsoft 365. Because it runs in the cloud, Google says the agent maintains the same context across these environments.
Why it matters
The offering consolidates task assignment into one interface and extends an AI agent beyond Google’s own apps into third-party tools, positioning it as a cross-platform assistant for work.
Who should care
Enterprises and professionals using Google Workspace, Slack, or Microsoft 365 may find the unified agent relevant for managing tasks across tools and devices.
