Google Cloud unveils a universal Gemini agent to handle multi-day enterprise workflows in Workspace, Microsoft 365, and Slack that supports several AI models (Carl Franzen/VentureBeat)

Google Cloud’s new universal Gemini agent is aimed at automating complex, multi-day work across Workspace, Microsoft 365, and Slack, which could materially improve employee productivity and reduce the manual handoffs that slow down cross-functional execution. For CIOs, the strategic signal is that enterprise AI is moving from point solutions to workflow orchestration across heterogeneous SaaS stacks, increasing the need for strong governance, identity controls, data access policies, and integration oversight as IT becomes responsible for enabling and managing agentic work.
