THROUGH THE VALLEY

1/ Google’s new AI agents let you “automate everyday work”

Google has released Workspace Studio, a new tool that lets anyone create AI agents inside Gmail, Drive, Chat, and other Workspace apps without writing code. Powered by Gemini 3, these agents can automate everyday tasks, understand context, and handle multi-step workflows. Early adopters like Kärcher used Studio to cut feature-drafting work by 90 percent by assigning different agents to brainstorm, check feasibility, outline user flows, and generate user stories. Google says customers have already used these agents for more than 20 million tasks, and businesses can now build and share custom agents as easily as sharing a file in Drive.

2/ One of Google’s biggest AI advantages is what it already knows about you

Google is moving toward ultra-personalized AI that learns from your activity across Gmail, Search, Maps, Photos, Calendar, Drive, and your browsing history. Robby Stein, Google’s VP of Product for Search, says the company sees its biggest AI opportunity in tailoring advice and recommendations to each user’s preferences. Gemini already pulls in emails, documents, photos, and location data to shape answers, which could make results more useful but also raises privacy and consent concerns. Google says users can control which apps feed Gemini and will label personalized responses, yet some data may still be reviewed by humans. The debate now is where personalization ends, and quiet surveillance begins.
