[DigitalToday reporter Hyunwoo Choo] Google is internally testing a personal AI agent called Remy in the Gemini app that handles work and everyday tasks on behalf of users. Business Insider reported on May 5 that Remy runs on an employee-only version of the Gemini app and connects with multiple Google services.

Internal documents introduced Remy as a "24-hour personal agent for work, school and daily life." They also said it aims to be an assistant that performs real tasks for users, beyond simply answering questions or generating content.

Remy is designed to be deeply integrated across Google services. It monitors what users consider important, proactively handles complex tasks and learns user preferences over time.

Google employees are currently testing Remy. Google did not disclose a schedule for a public release of Remy. Internal documents classified the project as a "dogfooding" effort in which employees use it before launch.

Google has not yet released a fully autonomous AI agent product that is widely available. Instead, it has expanded related features such as an "agent mode" that carries out multiple steps, and availability differs by subscription tier and region.

Remy has similarities to the AI agent OpenClo that drew attention earlier this year. OpenClo gained notice for functions such as replying to messages or conducting research on a user's behalf, and Sam Altman (샘 알트먼) said in February that OpenAI would hire OpenClo developers.

Google plans to unveil next-generation AI products at its I/O event later this month. AI agents are likely to be a main topic of the announcements. Demis Hassabis (데미스 허사비스), CEO of Google DeepMind, has consistently outlined a vision for building a digital assistant.
