Google’s new “agents” for Workspace are Gemini-powered automations you can design to read, reason over, and act on your Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Calendar, and more, all tied to your Google Workspace account and org settings. What Google Workspace agents are: Google is rolling out a hub called Google Workspace Studio where you can create, manage, and share AI agents that automate everything from email triage to multi-step approval workflows, without writing code. These agents run “inside” Workspace, so they can see relevant messages, files, and context and then take actions like labeling emails, drafting replies, updating docs/sheets, posting to Chat, or pinging humans when needed. Under the hood, the agents use the Gemini 3 model (successor to Duet AI) so they can reason over longer, messier workflows rather than just doing single prompts like “summarize this email.” You describe the outcome in natural language (e.g., “Whenever a customer email mentions ‘refund’ and includes an invoice, route it to Support, log it in a Sheet, and draft a reply”) and Studio turns that into a runnable agent. How agents connect to Workspace accounts: Workspace agents are tied to your Google Workspace domain and user accounts, not to personal @gmail.com accounts. Admins decide who in the organization can use Workspace Studio, which apps agents can access (Gmail, Drive, Chat, Calendar, etc.), and what data boundaries apply, so the agents follow the same security, sharing, and compliance rules as your normal Workspace content. From a user’s point of view, agents show up where you already work: in Gmail side panels, Chat, Docs, Sheets, and as automations that run in the background when triggers fire (like receiving an email or hitting a time/date condition). Because they’re Workspace-native, agents can respect things like document permissions, labels, and org policies when reading or acting on data. Key building blocks: triggers, steps, and variables: Workspace Studio gives you three main pieces when designing an agent: Starters (triggers), Steps, and Variables.
