Project Mariner forms part of a major update to Google’s artificial intelligence offerings, which centres around the next-generation of its AI virtual assistant Gemini. Google chief executive Sundar Pichai said the latest advancements represent what he refers to as AI’s “agentic era”, which forms part of the company’s vision of creating a universal assistant. “We continue to push the frontiers of AI to organise the world’s information across every input and make it accessible via any output, so that it can be truly useful for you.” Other agents unveiled on Wednesday include Jules, which helps developers with coding tasks, and Deep Research, which uses advanced reasoning to act as a research assistant.
