Google Cloud launches Gemini agent, a single cloud-hosted agent for enterprise work

Google Cloud has introduced the Gemini agent, a single cloud-hosted agent that handles Q&A, knowledge work, media creation, and coding from one prompt box and one API. It routes jobs across Gemini and Claude models today, with other private and open models planned.

Governance covers per-agent identity, role-based access, audit logging, and hard per-project spend caps, but the source gives no reproducible benchmarks, pricing, or general availability date.
