Gemini agent for work: Google launches cross-app AI in Gmail, Drive, Docs

Google has launched a new enterprise AI agent built into Gemini Enterprise — one that works across Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Calendar, Slack, and Microsoft 365 from a single chat interface. It’s not a standalone app. It lives inside the existing Gemini Enterprise app, and it runs in the cloud, so context stays synced whether you’re typing on a laptop, tapping on an Android phone, or pasting a request into Slack on desktop.

The agent can delegate to specialized sub-agents, handle multi-step workflows, and even act as a “coworker agent” with its own company email address: @agents.company.com. That identity lets it receive messages, schedule meetings, draft replies, and surface documents. All without switching tabs or apps. It’s designed for tasks like pulling sales data from Sheets into a Docs report, summarizing unread threads in Gmail before a meeting, or cross-referencing calendar availability while booking a vendor call in Calendar.

Google says the agent picks the best AI model for each job automatically, no manual selection required. This is not the consumer-facing Gemini Spark, which launched in May and operates through a separate interface inside the main Gemini app. The new agent is strictly for businesses. It’s in private preview now, exclusively for Gemini Enterprise customers.
