Google has announced the general availability of Google Workspace Studio, a platform that enables users to design, manage, and share AI agents across Workspace. It uses Gemini 3 for reasoning and multimodal understanding, allowing automation without coding.
Goal of bringing agent automation to Workspace
Farhaz Karmali, Product Director, Google Workspace Ecosystem, said the aim is to reduce time spent on routine digital tasks such as managing email and follow-ups. He stated that previous automation tools were technical and rigid, and Workspace Studio makes it possible for anyone to build agents that understand context and execute tasks within Workspace applications.
Automating complex processes with AI
Workspace agents go beyond rule-based workflows. With Gemini capabilities, they can:
- Interpret context
- Adapt to new information
- Support multi-step business processes
They can be used for actions such as sentiment analysis, content generation, prioritizing tasks, and sending relevant notifications.
Early adoption: Kärcher
Kärcher, working with Google Cloud partner Zoi, adopted Workspace Studio to improve product feature evaluation. Their virtual team of agents now performs:
- Idea assessment
- Technical feasibility checks
- UX flow descriptions
- Drafting of a user story
This process has reduced drafting time by 90%, turning hours of review and consolidation into about two minutes.
Accessible agent creation
Workspace Studio is already in use by customers in the Gemini Alpha program, with agents completing over 20 million tasks in the last 30 days. Users can start from templates or describe an automation request in natural language.
Example usage:
Label an incoming email containing a question as “To respond” and trigger a Chat alert.
Agents can also extract data from email content and attachments. They can be shared across teams similar to files stored in Google Drive.
Integration across apps and workflows
Since agents operate inside Workspace tools such as Gmail, Drive, and Chat, they can act with awareness of organizational context and use content from across applications. Activity tracking is available through Workspace side panels.
Workspace Studio also supports connections to platforms including:
- Asana
- Jira
- Mailchimp
- Salesforce
More technical users can extend automation using Apps Script, internal tools, proprietary models, and Vertex AI integrations.
Availability
Workspace Studio will roll out to business customers over the coming weeks. Once available, users can create agents through templates or natural language prompts. Additional information is provided through the Google Workspace Help Center, Discord community, and the Gemini alpha program.
