Google launches a universal Gemini agent that works across apps and devices

It is an AI agent that runs in the cloud inside the Gemini Enterprise app, letting users assign tasks and track them from a single chat interface while work executes in the background across apps and devices.

Per the announcement, it works inside Workspace apps such as Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets and Calendar, and can be accessed from mobile, desktop and the web, plus third-party apps like Slack and Microsoft 365.

The key difference is that the agent is designed to execute multi-step tasks in the background and retain the same context across devices and apps, rather than only responding inside a single application.

It could help organizations using Google Workspace, or a mix of Workspace and Microsoft 365, by reducing tool-switching. Real adoption depends on regional availability and each organization's data governance policies.
