Google has launched a private preview of a new Gemini agent designed to execute multi-step workplace tasks across apps — without step-by-step prompting. It’s not a feature rolling out to Pixel phones or Android users. It’s not in Gmail or Docs for consumers. It’s enterprise-only, and it’s live now for select business customers.
The agent works inside Google Workspace, Slack, and Microsoft 365. It maintains context across devices. And it can delegate parts of a task to specialized sub-agents, say, one for calendar scheduling, another for spreadsheet analysis. But none of that is available to the public.
Not yet. Not even in beta. Android Authority reports the rollout is strictly limited to enterprise clients in private preview, with no timeline or commitment for broader availability. No price, no tiering, no consumer-facing roadmap.
Just a tightly controlled test with businesses already using Google Cloud’s AI infrastructure. This isn’t Gemini 2.5 or a new model refresh. It’s a new role: autonomous task execution, not reactive assistance. The distinction matters.
A summary or draft is still a response. This agent is meant to act. That changes the stakes, for IT policy, for app permissions, for how work gets routed across SaaS tools. It also widens the gap between what Google offers its largest customers and what everyone else gets.
The Gemini name remains front and center. But the capability now lives behind a firewall, not in the Play Store. Next: Google will expand the private preview to more enterprise accounts. After that?
Silence. No word on when, or whether. The universal agent reaches consumers, Android users, or even general Google Workspace subscribers.
