the coworker just got a persistent memory. google's gemini enterprise agent, announced oct 8, runs continuously in the cloud, keeps several kinds of memory and delegates to parallel subagents inside git, bigquery and jira.
the employee handbook now has a model id.
Context
Google Cloud announced the Gemini agent on Oct 8 at Gemini at Work 2026, a universal agent for work in the Gemini Enterprise app and Workspace. RuntimeWire says it can keep running in the cloud after a user leaves, create persistent coworker agents, coordinate sub-agents and connect to tools including Git, Jira and BigQuery.
TechCrunch describes it as Gemini's move into the agentic age, starting with businesses.
The Oct 8 announcement, cloud-persistent runs, sub-agents and Git, Jira and BigQuery connections match the sources. The agent's name in the sources is 'Gemini agent'. 'Several kinds of memory' was not seen in the excerpts read, so unsupported here, not refuted.
'the employee handbook now has a model id' is the author's opinion.
