> Great to be with 700+ @googlecloud  customers at the historic NASA Hangar One for Gemini at Work! 
> 
> Today, we introduced the new Gemini agent, a single, universal agent for work that has all of your business context and answers your questions, handles your knowledge work, creates your images and media, and writes and runs code - all from a single prompt box. It is connected to your personal workflows, your systems of record, and your enterprise controls.
> 
> It’s built around a few core architectural principles:
> 
> Unified Agent: Gemini can answer questions, do knowledge work and generate code from a single prompt box.
> 
> Access: Gemini is web-based and can be accessed from any device and integrated into third-party applications. It can also operate without a dedicated user interface.
> 
> Persistent Execution: It runs in the cloud, which means it maintains a single set of memories, context and one personalization graph no matter where you access it.
> 
> Multi-Agent Orchestration: Gemini can create sub-agents to tackle multi-step tasks and can also act as a coworker agent with a defined role and its own dedicated identity
> 
> Context: Gemini knows your tools, data, and work history and learns how you work the more you use it.
> Model Choice Flexibility: It orchestrates across multiple models to deliver optimal quality and lower your costs.
