Overview
- Business Insider reports that Google employees are testing an AI agent called Remy inside a staff-only version of the Gemini app, described internally as a 24/7 helper for work, school, and daily life.
- New strings in the Google app beta point to a major upgrade to Gemini Agent that can take actions on the web and in connected apps, including sending messages, sharing documents, and making purchases.
- The beta language says the feature is experimental and can make mistakes or expose data, and it directs users to supervise tasks in a dashboard rather than rely on it for legal, medical, or financial actions.
- The strings describe the data Remy can use to act, including chats, connected apps, personal context, “Agent files,” and location, with settings to clear browser data and turn off Personal Intelligence and Connected Apps.
- There is no public launch timeline and Google declined to comment, and coverage notes Google may preview agent work at I/O as it folds prior efforts like Project Mariner into Gemini and responds to popular agent tools such as OpenClaw.
