Google launches unified agentic AI for Gemini
At the Gemini at Work 2026 conference, Google launched the Gemini Agent, a universal agentic AI for enterprise work. It autonomously plans and executes complex tasks across mobile, web, and Google Workspace, with integration into external systems like Microsoft 365, Slack, Salesforce, and ServiceNow. The agent uses a routing tool to select cost-effective AI models, including Anthropic's Claude, and supports multi-agent orchestration and headless integration. It provides enterprise-grade security with separate identities and audit trails. Early testers include On, Shopify, and PayPal, with deployments at Merck, Lloyds, and Commerzbank, as well as retail use cases like Ulta Beauty. Gemini boasts over 1 billion monthly active users, and nearly 90% of Fortune 100 companies use Gemini Enterprise. The agent competes with Meta's Muse, OpenAI's dots, and xAI's Grok Bot.
Google Gemini 3 Elevates Search and App AI
Google announces Gemini 3, its latest AI model, integrated directly into the Google Gemini App and activated in Search via AI Mode. The model promises multimodal understanding, nuanced responses, and generative layouts, with agentic capabilities that support multi-step tasks and coding. Gemini 3 is supported by a new Antigravity platform for Vibe Coding, enabling autonomous agent actions and app-level workflows; developers can access Gemini 3 through Google AI Studio, Vertex AI, Gemini CLI, and the new Agentric-Building platform Antigravity. The rollout emphasizes deep integration across Google services (Maps, Canvas, Chrome) and introduces enhanced AI capabilities for developers and end users. Google notes Gemini 3's broad reach (650 million monthly active users; 13 million developers) and cites performance benchmarks from internal assessments. Availability begins in the US for Pro/Ultra users, with broader deployment including Germany planned later. The company positions Gemini 3 as a major step in its AI strategy against competitors like OpenAI, Meta, and Anthropic.
Google Unveils Gemini Enterprise for Work
Google has introduced Gemini Enterprise, a new AI-powered business platform described as the 'gateway to AI at the workplace.' The platform aims to provide personalized AI assistance for every team, enabling employees to interact with documents, data, and apps via AI Agents. Key capabilities include building AI Agents without code, securely linking to widely used systems such as Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and SAP, and coordinating workflows across apps to automate tasks. Gemini Enterprise also offers multimodal capabilities integrated with Google Workspace, including real-time processing of text, images, video, and speech, and features like in‑Meet real-time translations. Availability includes Germany, with pricing of $30 per user per month for Gemini Enterprise Standard/Plus, while Gemini Business for smaller teams is $21 per user per month. The article underscores the shift toward enterprise AI in the workplace and Google's broader AI strategy.
