Google has announced a new Gemini agent designed to accelerate multi-step processes in the business world. Introduced at the Gemini at Work 2026 event, the system is designed to track and complete tasks across different applications without requiring constant user guidance.
The new agent can work in an integrated manner with platforms such as Slack and Microsoft 365, in addition to Google Workspace. Thus, it aims to go beyond the classic use of artificial intelligence, which is limited to summarizing a single document or drafting an email, by bringing together multiple steps of a business process.
FOCUSING ON CORPORATE WORKFLOWS
Meeting preparation stands out among the system's example use cases. When a user specifies a goal, the Gemini agent can scan relevant emails, find documents in Drive, and compile data on Sheets to prepare the results.
The cloud-based structure also ensures that tasks maintain their context across devices. According to the source, a job started on a laptop can be continued on a phone without the user needing to re-explain the process.
Google positions the new technology as a "colleague" for businesses. It is stated that companies can define special identities and corporate email addresses for these artificial intelligence employees, and that specialized sub-agents can also be included in the system.
The feature is currently offered as a preview version for corporate customers. There is no announced schedule yet regarding when Google will open this tool to general users.
The new Gemini agent claims to move the role of artificial intelligence in the workplace from the level of a chatbot to active process management. However, how reliably such systems will perform in complex tasks will become clearer through usage experiences and corporate trials.
