As the underlying models have improved, they are now better and more reliable at powering autonomous tools. Google doesn&#039;t yet have a widely available, fully autonomous AI agent product. However, it has been rolling out &quot;Agent Mode&quot; and other related features that can perform multi-step tasks, with access varying by subscription tier and region.  <\/p>\n<p>Google&#039;s Remy sounds more advanced than those tools. In some ways, it sounds similar to OpenClaw, an AI agent that became a viral sensation earlier this year and can perform tasks such as responding to messages or conducting research on behalf of users. In February, Sam Altman announced OpenAI was hiring OpenClaw&#039;s creator.<\/p>\n<p>An internal description of Remy states: &quot;Deeply integrated across Google, Remy can monitor for things that matter to you, handle complex tasks proactively, and learn your preferences over time.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>It could not be learned whether there is a timeline for launching Remy to the public. However, the document describes Remy as a &quot;dogfooding&quot; project, which is a common practice at tech companies in which employees test products before launching them to users.<\/p>\n<p>The company will hold its I\/O event later this month, where it&#039;s expected to demonstrate its next wave of AI products. Agents will likely be a big focus. Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis has long talked about his vision to build a digital assistant.<\/p>\n<p>It could not immediately be learned why Google named the agent Remy. It has origins in the Latin word Remigius, meaning &quot;oarsman&quot; or &quot;rower,&quot; which would be fitting for an agent that&#039;s doing a lot of work.<\/p>\n<p>It&#039;s also the name of the assistant chef rat in Pixar&#039;s Ratatouille. Knowing Google, it could well be a reference to both.<\/p>\n<p><em>Have something to share?
