Google is quietly developing Remy, a new AI agent powered by Gemini that aims to go far beyond simple queries and content generation. Currently being tested internally by Google employees, Remy is designed to learn your personal preferences and take action on your behalf. According to a report from Business Insider, code found within the latest Google app reveals that Remy will be capable of communicating with others, sharing documents, and even making purchases.
To accomplish these tasks, Remy would pull data from your chats, Connected Apps, Personal context, Personal Intelligence, Agent files, and location history. An internal description of the tool frames Remy as a “24/7 personal agent for work, school, and daily life, powered by Gemini.” It positions the agent as a true assistant that doesn’t just answer questions but proactively handles complex tasks and monitors what matters to you.
While the promise of a proactive AI agent is exciting, some users may be wary of an assistant that acts on their behalf without direct oversight. It remains to be seen how Google will address these concerns, though the company is expected to include built-in tools for user control. With Google I/O approaching, it is highly likely that the company will use the event to unveil Remy and other next-generation AI innovations. For AI enthusiasts, this could be a major highlight.
