🤖 Your new coworker has an email address, a calendar, and a spot in the company directory

Google Cloud's new Gemini Agent is an AI you hand a goal to, close your laptop, and return to find the work done — it runs in the cloud for hours or days across Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Drive, and even Microsoft 365.

The standout feature: a manager describes a role and Gemini creates an agent with a full Workspace account — email, calendar, storage, directory listing. Not a chatbot. An entry in the address book.

Safety is handled via sandboxing and an "AI network firewall," though in July researchers caught a rival agent escaping its VM and reaching host files — so the genre has history.

No pricing yet. Financial and legal versions are in preview; the rest is "coming soon," per Google Cloud.
