Editor’s note: This article is adapted from Thomas Kurian’s keynote address at Gemini at Work 2026. It includes a number of announcements: Gemini , a single, universal agent for work that answers your questions, handles your knowledge work, creates your images and media, and writes and runs code. Inline in Workspace , Gemini works directly inside Gmail, Drive, Docs, Slides, Sheets, Chat, and Calendar, carrying the same memory, skills, and controls it has everywhere else.
New data and analytics skills that allow both technical teams and everyday business users to use plain-language questions to get to actionable operational insights in minutes. Industry-specific specialization with tools, skills, connectors and knowledge specific for financial services and legal teams. How we secure and govern agents through i dentity and policy management, authorization and permission controls, secure sandboxing, network gateways, and more. Leading cost controls through multi-model orchestration, Smart Routing, real-time spend caps, and more.
Customer use cases that showcase the breadth and depth of our customers around the world. Bringing the best technology to all of you is what drives us at Google Cloud. In the last year, nearly 500 Google Cloud customers each processed more than one trillion tokens. Today, nearly 80% of all Google Cloud customers are using our AI products, and nearly 90% of the Fortune 100 use Gemini Enterprise. At that kind of scale, organizations have moved past experimentation and are running their business on it. To meet this moment, today we are excited to announce the Gemini agent: your new single, universal agent for work.
It has all of your business context and can be used for everything from knowledge work to answering questions, and from content creation to coding, all from a single prompt box. It plans the work, uses skills and tools, connects to your systems, and brings back something finished — inside the documents, the inbox, and the developer environments you already work in. It chooses the best model for the job, has built-in cost controls, and most importantly, has the security, administration, and governance required by your company. The Gemini agent is your new single, universal agent for work.
