Gemini could soon act more like a coworker than a chatbot
Key Points:
- Google is testing a new “Agent” tab within Gemini Enterprise, designed to create, manage, and deploy multiple AI agents for handling complex, multi-step workflows.
- The updated interface includes a “Tasks” dashboard with dedicated sections for Goals, Agents, Connected apps, and Files, signaling a shift towards more integrated AI workspace management.
- Unlike traditional single-task AI tools, these agents can autonomously break down broad goals and use local files and connected services to complete tasks with minimal user input.
- A “Require a human review” toggle indicates Google’s focus on safety and control, ensuring sensitive actions require user approval before execution.
- Additional features like reusable Skills and repeating schedules suggest ongoing automated workflows, positioning Google to compete with platforms like Anthropic’s Claude Cowork ahead of Google I/O.
