According to 1M AI News monitoring, Google employees are using an internal AI entity called Agent Smith, which can automatically perform various tasks such as programming. The tool, due to a surge in users, has been forced to restrict access. The name is likely a tribute to the antagonist Agent Smith in “The Matrix.”
Agent Smith is built on Google’s existing AI programming platform Antigravity and can call upon various internal systems, having been launched earlier this year. Compared to previous AI coding assistants, Agent Smith can more autonomously plan and execute complete workflows and supports asynchronous operation, executing tasks independently in the background. Employees do not need to continuously operate their computers and can check progress and issue commands via their mobile phones anytime, and it can also be used directly from Google’s internal chat platform. With access to the employee information system, Agent Smith can automatically retrieve relevant documents, saving manual search time.
Google co-founder Sergey Brin stated at an all-hands meeting for the sales department in early March that AI entities will become an important direction for Google this year and hinted that the company is developing a tool similar to OpenClaw (it remains uncertain if it is indeed Agent Smith). Google’s business head Philipp Schindler joked at the meeting that he could tell when Brin’s messages were sent by the AI entity.
Google is accelerating the internal adoption of AI tools. Some employees have been informed that AI usage will be included in performance evaluations. The infrastructure department is also advancing an internal project called Project EAT, aimed at improving the adoption rate and standardization of AI tools. A Google spokesperson responded, “We are continuously exploring new ways to build entities that solve real problems, but we currently have no further information to share.”
