Google brings agentic AI to Gemini, starting with businesses
Google just gave Gemini a workplace identity—email address included. Agents can now delegate to subagents and orchestrate across business apps.
Why it matters
Google is shipping agentic capabilities into Gemini as a multi-model orchestration layer for enterprises, enabling delegation, cross-app task execution, and identity-based access. This moves Gemini from a chat interface into autonomous workflow infrastructure—directly competing with OpenAI's agent products and Anthropic's agent deployments.
