Hard spend caps, first announced in August, now apply to the agent. When a project hits its limit in the Cloud Billing Console, its agent pauses, and costs can be charged back to departments. ## Pricing and availability Google says the agent will be included at no additional charge for Gemini Enterprise customers, including through existing Workspace business and enterprise subscriptions, but separate charges for persistent coworkers or extended autonomous tasks remain unspecified. The company has not publicly confirmed a release date. After the event, Google executives told industry analysts to expect general availability around the end of October or early November, and Google said it will share pricing details closer to the wider release. Financial Services and Legal versions are in preview. At launch, the finance offering includes more than 50 skills and FactSet and LSEG data; Legal connects to NetDocuments and iManage. ## Reliability and oversight At Thursday’s event, Google said nearly 90% of Fortune 100 companies use Gemini Enterprise. Nearly 500 Google Cloud customers each processed more than a trillion tokens over the preceding year, it said. Those figures cover existing products. They do not measure adoption of the new agent.
