Google is developing an AI agent codenamed “Remy” for Gemini, sources say

Google is developing an artificial intelligence agent internally codenamed “Remy” that is designed to function as a 24/7 personal assistant inside its Gemini app, according to an internal document and two people familiar with the project.

The effort underscores Google’s push into autonomous “agent” tools that can take actions on a user’s behalf, rather than only generating text or answering questions. Employees are testing Remy in a staff-only version of Gemini, and it is designed to integrate with a range of other Google services.

An internal description says Remy is intended to monitor information that matters to users, proactively handle complex tasks, and learn preferences over time. Google has previously rolled out features such as “Agent Mode” and other tools that can perform multi-step tasks, but Remy is described as more advanced.

The project is in “dogfooding,” a common practice in which employees test products internally before any broader release. A public launch timeline has not been disclosed.

Google is expected to show new AI products at its upcoming I/O event. The development of Remy aligns with Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis’s long-standing vision for a comprehensive digital assistant and comes as competition intensifies across the industry around autonomous AI agents.

The report also compares Remy to an agent called “OpenClaw,” which drew attention for its ability to perform tasks such as responding to messages and conducting research on behalf of users.
