Google is rolling out Gemini AI agents across the Department of Defense to serve over 3 million civilian and military employees. Eight pre-built agents will automate routine tasks including summarizing meeting notes, building budgets, and checking proposed actions against national defense strategy. Personnel can also create custom agents using natural language. The expansion follows successful adoption of Google's AI chatbot through the Pentagon's GenAI.mil portal, which has been used by 1.2 million employees since December, generating 40 million prompts and 4 million document uploads. Initial deployment targets unclassified networks, with discussions ongoing for classified and top-secret system access. The initiative reflects the Pentagon's broader AI partnerships following disputes with other AI companies over guardrails.
