Google Unveils Gemini Agent For Enterprise Work
Google’s new Gemini agent can carry out tasks across workplace apps and devices, but it is currently available only to enterprise customers in private preview.
Google has announced an enterprise-focused Gemini agent designed to handle workplace tasks across apps and devices. Available through the Gemini Enterprise app, it lets users give the agent instructions from one interface while it works in the background. The Verge reports that access is currently limited to enterprise customers in private preview.

One place to assign work
The agent was announced at Google’s Gemini at Work event, according to The Verge. Users can chat with it in the Gemini Enterprise app and assign tasks there, rather than starting a separate interaction for each app involved. TechCrunch describes the shift as turning Gemini into an agent that can plan and execute work across business applications and systems.
According to The Verge, the agent can work directly in Workspace apps including Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets and Calendar. Users can also interact with it on mobile devices, desktop computers and the web, as well as through third-party apps such as Slack and Microsoft 365. The Verge says the agent runs in the cloud and keeps the same context across connected devices.
Subagents and a workplace identity
Both reports say the agent can delegate work to subagents. The Verge describes these as job-specific agents that help complete tasks, while TechCrunch says Gemini can draw on multiple AI models. According to The Verge, Google says it will automatically use the model best suited to a given task.
The agent can also operate as what Google calls a “coworker agent,” with a dedicated workplace identity and its own email address. The Verge gives the address format as “@agents.company.com.” That identity is part of how Google is presenting the agent as something that can carry out work within a business, not just respond to questions in a chat.
Private preview for now
Despite the broad range of apps and devices described, the new agent is not generally available. The Verge says it is currently in private preview for enterprise customers. Neither report gives a date for wider access.
The Verge distinguishes this enterprise tool from Gemini Spark, a consumer-facing agent Google launched in May. Subscribers can use Spark for tasks across Workspace and the web, but it has a separate interface within the Gemini app. The newly announced enterprise agent instead brings task assignment and conversation together in the Gemini Enterprise app. For now, the reports describe Google’s plans for the agent and its limited preview, rather than results from widespread workplace use.
