Google recently launched Workspace Studio, a no-code tool enabling
employees to create and deploy their own AI agents for workplace tasks.
Key Features
Workspace Studio allows users to build agents using natural language
prompts and multi-step actions, powered by Google's Gemini 3 model combined
with rules-based automation. These agents access data from Google Workspace
apps like Gmail, Drive, and Sheets, plus third-party tools such as Asana, Jira,
and Salesforce, to handle jobs like drafting project updates or flagging emails
with negative tones.
Usage Limits and Rollout
Google caps creations at 100 agents per customer, with each limited to
20 steps and daily runs, offering promotional higher limits initially until a
2026 update. Prebuilt agent templates are available for customization, with
rollout starting over the next few weeks for Workspace users.
Challenges and Competition
Analysts like Forrester's J.P. Gownder note that agent creation exceeds
most employees' skills, as surveys show only 26% understand prompt engineering
and 58% lack AI training, potentially leading to "agentic sprawl"
needing IT oversight. Microsoft offers similar capabilities via Copilot Actions
in this growing agentic AI space
