Agent update
Coworker agents with their own Workspace account
At Gemini at Work 2026, Google introduced coworker agents that can have their own Workspace account, including an email address, calendar and Drive, so teammates can add them to Chat or @mention them in a Doc like any other colleague.
How to use Gemini coworker agents for small business
A marketing manager could create an events coordinator agent, ask it in a Chat space to draft a launch readiness document, and let it post the draft back to the group under its own name. A construction coordinator could @mention a coworker agent in a shared Doc to suggest an edit and reply in the comment thread, with the change appearing in version history as the agent, not as you. A finance lead could give a recurring reporting role its own inbox and Drive folder, so the team can send it source files without sharing a personal account.
A coworker agent acts under its own identity and only sees what you share with it. Access follows the sharing and membership your team already uses. The announcement sits inside Gemini at Work and Gemini Enterprise. It does not say which Workspace plan is required, which countries have the feature, or what it costs. Treat those as unconfirmed until you see them in your Google admin settings.
Most useful for: Executive Assistant – Manage the executive's inbox, flag what matters, draft replies and file the rest, Office Manager – Coordinate workflow and deadlines across the team, Operations Manager – Handle client and staff emails about operations
Frequently asked questions
Does the announcement say which Workspace plan includes coworker agents?
The post does not name a Workspace or Gemini plan, and it does not publish a price. The feature is described as part of the Gemini agent at Gemini at Work, with a strong Gemini Enterprise focus. Check with your Google admin or account team before you assume it is included in a standard Business plan.
Does the agent use my email address and see everything I can see?
No. A coworker agent gets its own Workspace account, including an email address, calendar and Drive, and it appears under its own name. It acts under its own identity rather than yours, and it only sees what you or your teammates share with it, following your existing sharing and membership rules.
How do teammates work with a coworker agent?
You describe the role you need, and the agent gets its own Workspace account, including an email address, calendar and Drive, and a presence in the company directory. Teammates can add it to a Chat space or @mention it in a Doc, and it appears under its own name, including in version history.
