First available on desktop for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/google-ai-ultra-plan-3559209\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google AI Ultra<\/a> subscribers in the US, the new Gemini Agent acts more like a true personal assistant than a simple chatbot.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_Em\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a>What can Gemini Agent do?<\/p>\n<p>Instead of simply answering your questions, Gemini Agent can plan, explore, and execute complex tasks on your behalf. However, before it does anything, you\u2019ll need to grant it the necessary permissions, such as access to your browser, Gmail, or Calendar. It\u2019ll also seek permission for things like sending a message or making a purchase. Before you ask, yes, you can delete the information you share with it at any time.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Gemini Agent in dropdown menu\"  alt=\"Gemini Agent in dropdown menu\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Gemini-Agent-in-dropdown-menu-scaled.jpg\"\/>Selecting Gemini Agent from the dropdown menu<img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Gemini Agent brief me chip\"  alt=\"Gemini Agent brief me chip\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Gemini-Agent-brief-me-chip-scaled.jpg\"\/>The suggested prompts that appear when you select &#8220;Brief me&#8221; on Gemini<img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Gemini Agent do tasks for me chip\"  alt=\"Gemini Agent do tasks for me chip\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Gemini-Agent-do-tasks-for-me-chip-scaled.jpg\"\/>The suggested prompts that appear when you select &#8220;Do tasks for me&#8221; on Gemini<img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Gemini Agent stay organized chip\"  alt=\"Gemini Agent stay organized chip\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Gemini-Agent-stay-organized-chip-scaled.jpg\"\/>The suggested prompts that appear when you select &#8220;Stay organized&#8221; on Gemini<\/p>\n<p>As far as task completion goes, Gemini Agent boasts a broad set of capabilities. It can organize your schedules, manage emails and dig out information from them, create slide decks, prepare personalized summaries for your day, and more. The best part is that you can give multiple instructions in a single prompt using natural language. You can also see when and how the agent is working on your request as well as ask it follow-up questions once it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the task, Gemini Agent may even open a self-contained web browser to retrieve necessary data. If it determines this is needed, Gemini will ask you to \u201callow content sharing\u201d before proceeding. Then, it will open a new pane and load a fresh instance of Chrome in it. It will then automatically scroll and click on links to complete the task it was given. At any time, you can hover over the browser panel and click \u201cTake control\u201d to manually navigate.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Gemini Agent allow content sharing\"  alt=\"Gemini Agent allow content sharing\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Gemini-Agent-allow-content-sharing-scaled.jpg\"\/>Asking Gemini Agent to browse Android Authority on my behalf<img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Gemini Agent take control\"  alt=\"Gemini Agent take control\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Gemini-Agent-take-control-scaled.jpg\"\/>Granting Gemini Agent the permission to browse Android Authority on my behalf<img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Gemini Agent Remote Browser Data\"  alt=\"Gemini Agent Remote Browser Data\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Gemini-Agent-Remote-Browser-Data-scaled.jpg\"\/>Controlling whether Gemini Agent stores my remote browser data<\/p>\n<p>If you ask Gemini Agent to perform something it can do with the use of connected Google Apps, then it may not open a browser window at all. For instance, you can tell Gemini Agent something like \u2013 \u201cLook for the latest unread message from Hadlee in my inbox. Check my Drive for any files connected to the project he mentioned. Draft a short reply letting him know I\u2019ll review everything and follow up tomorrow,\u201d and it will perform these tasks by directly connecting to your Gmail and Drive accounts.<\/p>\n<p>Some more examples of the kinds of tasks that Gemini Agent can handle for you include:<\/p>\n<p>Email help: Find recent emails, gather relevant documents, draft responses, or scan unread messages for tasks and add them to Google Tasks.<br \/>\nDaily briefings: Create morning digests that include important meetings, key emails, local news, or sports updates.<br \/>\nBooking and ordering: With live browsing, the Gemini Agent can make dinner reservations or purchase tickets online.<br \/>\nCalendar management: Search and create calendar events, prepare meeting notes, and more.<br \/>\nPresentation building: Research a topic and automatically turn the findings into a slide deck.<\/p>\n<p>In essence, Gemini Agent works much like modern agentic browsers, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/perplexity-comet-browser-youtube-experience-3580030\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Perplexity\u2019s Comet<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/chatgpt-atlas-hands-on-3609188\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ChatGPT\u2019s Atlas<\/a>, which not only display websites but also take actions on them. However, unlike Comet or Atlas, Gemini Agent isn\u2019t a fully integrated part of any web browser, which means it doesn\u2019t have access to all your saved logins and browser sessions. This makes it less versatile but also less risky to use, as you won\u2019t be able to automate tasks on your most sensitive online services. Still, Gemini Agent is not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/chatgpt-atlas-prompt-injection-attacks-3610255\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">immune from prompt injection attacks<\/a>, so use it with caution.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
