Google is testing a new AI agent named Remy, described as a 24/7 personal assistant for work, school, and daily life, powered by its Gemini model. Two people familiar with Remy stated that it is currently being tested by Google employees. " Google does not yet have a widely available, fully autonomous AI agent product.

However, the company has been rolling out 'Agent Mode' and other related features that can perform multi-step tasks, with access varying by subscription tier and region. Remy sounds similar to OpenClaw, an AI agent that became a viral sensation earlier in 2026. OpenClaw can perform tasks such as responding to messages or conducting research on behalf of users.

Google will hold its I/O event later in May 2026.
