Google is developing a "24/7 personal assistant" that closely resembles its response to OpenClaw.

      Google has not yet developed a fully autonomous AI agent, but it is actively working on it. As reported by Business Insider, which analyzed an internal report, the company is creating an AI agent referred to as Remy. Currently, it is being tested by employees using a staff-exclusive version of the Gemini app.

      Remy is defined as a “24/7 personal agent for work, school, and daily life” that can act on your behalf, monitor important aspects of your life, proactively manage complex tasks, and adapt to your preferences over time. Google has chosen not to comment at this time, and no official launch date has been established.

      OpenClaw gained immense popularity, prompting Google to enter that market.

      OpenClaw, a free open-source AI agent, surprised the technology community earlier this year by garnering over 100,000 stars on GitHub in less than a week. It can respond to messages, perform research, manage files, and automate tasks on your computer without requiring any input from you.

      Its popularity was such that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang referred to it as “definitely the next ChatGPT.” The strong demand for OpenClaw even led to a 15% increase in the prices of secondhand MacBooks in China. Ultimately, OpenAI hired the creator of OpenClaw.

      Now, Remy appears to be Google’s initiative to develop something with similar goals but as a refined, integrated product.

      All major players are now competing in the AI agent market.

      Google’s Remy project confirms that the AI agent field is now a competitive arena. Anthropic introduced Claude Cowork, which can manage your PC tasks without the complicated setup required by OpenClaw.

      Meta has acquired Manus AI and launched My Computer, a desktop agent that organizes files, runs applications, and sends emails on your behalf. Concurrently, Nvidia is developing NemoClaw, an open-source platform that allows businesses to deploy autonomous AI agents across various hardware.

      Despite facing significant security concerns, OpenClaw has been scrutinized by researchers regarding exposed admin panels, prompt injection vulnerabilities, and credentials stored in plain text. Google’s version is expected to be a well-integrated, privacy-focused agent from a reputable platform, which could be the factor that secures its success in this market.

      Google’s Remy is currently in a dogfooding phase, a standard procedure in tech companies where employees test products before public release. The company is set to host its Google I/O event later this month (May 19-20), where it is anticipated to reveal its latest AI products.

      Agents are expected to be a key highlight of this event, and Remy may make its initial public appearance there if Google is prepared to unveil it.
