More →Google Wants Gemini to Be Your Next Coworker—Complete With Its Own Email Address
Google Cloud introduced a universal AI agent for the workplace on Thursday, one it says can take a goal, go off and do the work, and return with the finished result. CEO Thomas Kurian presented it at the company's <a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/ai-machine-learning/welcome-to-gemini-at-work-2026" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">Gemini at Work</a> event, saying that "work now starts in the prompt window." The product, simply called the Gemini Agent, works inside Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Chat and Calendar, and also reaches into Microsoft 365 and Slack. Google says it keeps running in the cloud after you close your laptop, so a single task can stretch across hours or days. The most interesting feature is what Google calls coworker agents. A manager describes a role, such as events coordinator, and Gemini creates an agent with its own Workspace account: an email address, a calendar, Drive storage and a listing in the company directory. This is similar to what other agentic frameworks have explored. For example Grok popularized it with Grok Bot, OpenAI did the same with GPT dots, and Hermes introduced its bots feature offering the same functionality. The new agent connects to Salesforce, ServiceNow, Jira, Snowflake, BigQuery and any server that speaks Model Context Protocol, an open standard that works like a universal plug between AI and software. It also runs on more than Google's own models: Gemini currently orchestrates across Gemini and Claude models from Anthropic, routing each job to the one Google considers the best fit for quality and cost. Letting software act on its own raises obvious safety questions, and Google's answer is to treat each agent like an employee. Every agent gets a cryptographically attested identity, a digital ID verified through cryptography, and every action lands in an audit trail attributed to the agent rather than a person. All agents run inside an Agent Sandbox, a walled-off environment meant to keep software away from the rest of a system, and all their traffic passes through Agent Gateway, which Google describes as an "AI network firewall." Containment has failed before: in July, researchers at Accomplish AI reported that the local mode of <a href="https://decrypt.co/374557/chatgpt-claude-ai-models-escaping-sandboxes-cowork" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">Claude Cowork</a> could escape its Linux virtual machine on Macs and reach files on the host computer. Cost is the other worry, since agents burn through tokens, the chunks of text that AI models read and write and that customers are billed for. Google says nearly 500 of its customers each processed more than one trillion tokens over the past year, and it added real-time spend caps: when a project hits its limit, the agent pauses until someone clicks to resume. Google did not publish pricing or a general availability date for the Gemini agent. The financial services and lega
Iran's Revolutionary Guard says it hit a large LPG carrier in the Strait of Hormuz, with the vessel reported to be on fire.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard says it hit a large LPG carrier in the Strait of Hormuz, with the vessel reported to be on fire. According to Iranian sources, the naval force of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed that several hours earlier, a large liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) carrier named "NV Sunshine" was struck while attempting to pass through the so-called "illegal route" in the southern Strait of Hormuz. According to Iranian sources, the ship caught fire after being attacked. The statement said that the Revolutionary Guard Navy is responsible for managing the strait, does not allow what it calls "aggressive forces" to operate in the region, and will resolutely respond to any act that undermines the management of the strait. The statement also accused U.S. forces of being responsible for the escalation of tensions in regional maritime transportation.

Hurricane approaches the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, nearly 63% of offshore crude oil production suspended.
Hurricane Isaias is approaching the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, causing nearly 63% of offshore crude oil production to be suspended. BP said it has temporarily reduced oil production in the Gulf of Mexico and evacuated all personnel from two offshore platforms, Na Kika and Thunder Horse. As the storm intensifies, oil producers in the Gulf of Mexico are cutting production and evacuating personnel from offshore facilities. The hurricane is expected to make landfall along the northern Gulf Coast on Friday or early Saturday. BP also said it has evacuated non-essential personnel from three offshore platforms: Argos, Atlantis and Mad Dog. Shell, Chevron and Harbour Energy have also suspended production at some facilities and evacuated some personnel. The U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management said that as of Thursday morning, about 1.28 million barrels per day of offshore crude oil production in the Gulf of Mexico had been suspended, accounting for 62.9% of total current offshore crude oil production.
Sheldon appointed as advisor to the U.S. Treasury Secretary
According to CNBC, the U.S. Treasury Department has appointed Judy Shelton as an adviser to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Shelton previously failed to win Senate confirmation to serve as a Federal Reserve governor due to her controversial economic views. The Treasury Department said Shelton will advise Bessent on monetary policy. Before joining the Treasury Department, Shelton served as a senior fellow at an independent research institute advocating free-market ideas, and had also previously worked at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. In 2019, Trump nominated Shelton to serve as a Federal Reserve governor, but the nomination faced bipartisan opposition in the Senate, including from all Democratic senators and a few Republican senators. The controversy centered mainly on three aspects: her views on Federal Reserve independence, her support for the gold standard, and her questioning of whether the United States needs a central bank.
