Google Introduces Gemini Agent as Company Staff Member with Email and Calendar Access

According to Decrypt, Google Cloud announced a single Gemini agent capable of accepting goals rather than questions. The agent operates independently in the background for extended periods—up to days—while working toward defined objectives. As part of this rollout, the agent can be integrated into a company as if it were a staff member, receiving its own email address and calendar access.

The feature emphasizes functionality over interactive querying; instead of responding directly to user prompts, the Gemini agent processes goals internally and carries out related tasks autonomously. Once deployed within an organization, it functions alongside existing personnel through standard workplace communication channels, including email and scheduling tools.
