Google Cloud launches universal ‘Gemini Agent’ with deep app integration

Google Cloud unveiled the Gemini agent at its annual Gemini at Work 2026 conference, positioning the system as a universal, single digital assistant engineered to handle enterprise knowledge work, run complex code and execute multi-step workflows straight from a prompt box. According to Google Cloud, nearly 500 enterprise customers each processed over one trillion tokens in the past year alone. Furthermore, approximately 80% of all Google Cloud clients now deploy its artificial intelligence offerings, while nearly 90% of Fortune 100 enterprises actively use Gemini Enterprise. With business environments pivoting toward agentic systems, Google stated that the new Gemini agent is built around delegating end objectives rather than micromanaging step-by-step instructions.
