# Google Launches Gemini Consumer and Enterprise Agents

> Google has pushed its Gemini agents past the demo stage, splitting them into two tracks. On the consumer side, Gemini Spark can act on a person's behalf in the physical economy, placing phone calls to stores, checking whether an item is in stock and threading together the small errands that fill a day. On the enterprise side, a new Agent Platform lets businesses hand agents whole workflows, including completing purchases and executing multi-step tasks with minimal supervision. The through-line is delegation, moving from an assistant that answers questions to one that goes off and does things. That capability is genuinely useful and genuinely fraught, because an agent that can call a store and buy something is an agent that can make mistakes with real consequences. It also raises awkward questions for the businesses on the receiving end of these calls, who did not sign up to negotiate with software. Google is not alone in this race, but by shipping consumer-facing autonomy at scale it is helping decide how quickly ordinary people start letting AI act for them.
