Google Cloud announces Gemini agent as 'universal agent for work'

At its Gemini at Work 2026 event, Google Cloud announced Gemini agent for enterprise customers, describing it as a "new single, universal agent for work" available in the Gemini Enterprise app, Google Workspace and third-party services. Google says users can "give it objectives, not instructions," with the agent answering questions, handling knowledge work, creating media and writing or running code, and coordinating multi-step work through sub-agents that can run for hours or days. It routes each job to the model that fits best — today spanning the Gemini and Claude families, with other private and open models promised later. The agent is in private preview, with wide availability soon for select Workspace Business and Enterprise plans. Why it matters: It bundles multi-model routing, sub-agents and long-lived memory into an enterprise-wide agent, positioning Workspace as Google's main surface for agent adoption. What do you think?
