What you need to know
- Google is reportedly building “Remy”, a Gemini-powered AI assistant designed to handle tasks and work more like a digital operator than a chatbot.
- Internal testing shows that Remi can manage work, school, and personal tasks directly inside the Gemini app.
- Additionally, new code found in the latest Google app beta hints at advanced planning and autonomous agent features for Gemini.
Google is reportedly working much more actively The Gemini-powered AI assistant is called “Remi,” and it seems like the company wants it to be something that can actually help you get things done, not just answer questions.
AI companies are moving beyond just answering questions and are now focusing on what is called agentic AI. These new systems can take actions for users, handle complex tasks and learn your habits over time. Earlier this year, OpenClaw, an AI agent project backed by Sam Altman, brought this idea into the spotlight. Now, it looks like Google is getting ready to respond.
A business insider The report says that Google employees are already testing Remi internally. The assistant is said to be part of the Gemini app and works more like a digital operator than a regular chatbot. It can manage work, school, and personal life tasks, and it learns your preferences as you use it.

If this is true, it would be a big change from what Gemini is doing now. Currently, Gemini can summarize emails, answer questions, create documents, and work with some Google services.
Agent AI is the new battlefield
However, in recent months, Google has expanded Gemini’s features into Workspace, Android, and Search, and has begun to transform the Gemini app into a central AI hub rather than just a chatbot.
Additionally, a new 9to5Google The report mentions plans for Gemini and upgrades to agent features, which suggests Google is gearing up the Assistant for more independent tasks rather than just simple interactions. It’s based on a string of code found in the latest Google app beta (version 17.20).
Meanwhile, Google’s test browser agent, Project Mariner, which could have performed online tasks for users has reportedly ended, with its technology now part of the Gemini Agent. Basically, Google is bringing together AI assistant projects that have been going on for years into one platform.
However, creating these helpers is not easy. Researchers have already raised major security concerns about AI agents like OpenClause, especially because these systems often have access to emails, files, payment instruments, and personal information.
Although there is no official launch date for Remi yet, there are more and more hints. Google recently said that 2026 will be “one of the biggest years ever for Android,” and Gemini is starting to take over features from the old Google Assistant on a variety of devices.
With Google I/O coming up soon, we’ll likely hear more about what’s next for Gemini.
Android Central’s Tech
It’s easy to understand why Google is moving quickly in this direction. An AI assistant that can manage schedules, make bookings, organize work and handle repetitive tasks can really save people time. On the other hand, it feels a little uncomfortable to give one company so much access to your life. The more help these AI agents get, the more data they need, and tech companies often focus on convenience first and worry about privacy later.
