Google tests autonomous AI agent as industry shifts beyond chatbots: Report
Google is internally testing an autonomous AI agent called Remy, which can proactively complete tasks on behalf of users and integrate with Google's ecosystem of services. The development reflects a wider shift in the AI industry towards 'agentic AI' systems that can act independently with minimal human input.
Google is testing a new AI agent called Remy internally, which can handle real-world tasks and integrate with Google's services. Remy is being tested by Google employees through a staff-only version of the Gemini app and is designed to monitor information, learn user preferences, and autonomously handle complex tasks. The tool is currently classified as a 'dogfooding' project, with no word on when it may become publicly available. Google may preview Remy at its upcoming I/O event on May 19. The development is part of a wider shift in the AI industry towards 'agentic AI' systems that can act independently. Other companies, such as OpenAI and Anthropic, are also exploring autonomous AI capabilities, including AI-first hardware experiences and autonomous coding tools.
