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

The NFL supports states in their fight against Kalshi, escalating the Supreme Court battle over prediction markets.
Coin World News reports that the NFL has taken a position in the controversy over sports prediction markets against Kalshi. In an amicus brief filed on Thursday, the NFL urged the Supreme Court to accept New Jersey's appeal of the Third Circuit's ruling. That ruling held that Kalshi's sports event contracts fall within the CFTC's exclusive jurisdiction and are therefore exempt from state gambling laws. In the brief, the NFL supported the rulings of the Sixth and Ninth Circuits, arguing that the Dodd-Frank Act's definition of swaps covers instruments that hedge existing risks rather than wagers that create new risks, meaning sports contracts should be subject to state gambling regulation. The NFL said that if the Supreme Court upholds the Third Circuit's ruling, it will redouble its efforts to persuade the CFTC, operators, and Congress to adopt stronger integrity and consumer protection measures before that happens.

Japan's Ministry of Finance held its first meeting to discuss the blockchain tokenization of government bonds.
According to news from Bijie, Japan's Ministry of Finance held its first meeting on October 8, 2026, to discuss the blockchain tokenization of government bonds. The meeting proposed three possible ways to apply blockchain in order to attract new investors to cope with increasing debt. A document released by the Ministry of Finance divides the core ideas into three categories, aiming to invite opinions and discussion. The first category does not involve the bonds themselves, but instead uses blockchain to transfer the beneficial rights of money market funds invested in Japanese government bonds. The second category is to fix the transfer ledger on-chain within Japan's existing book-entry settlement system. The third category is to launch a new type of government bond that is directly issued on a blockchain outside the existing settlement system. The Ministry of Finance stated that market participants will benefit from the liquidity management convenience brought by tokenization, and overseas investors will be the biggest beneficiaries. Japan requested a record 143 trillion yen (about 918 billion US dollars) for fiscal year 2027, and debt servicing costs are expected to reach a record 36.64 trillion yen (about 234 billion US dollars).
