Google may already be testing a ‘deeply integrated’ agentic solution to take on OpenClaw

TL;DR

• Google’s next agentic AI could already be under internal testing at the company.
• Codenamed “Remy,” the tool is described as a “24/7 personal agent.”
• After spinning down work on Project Mariner, Remy may be Google’s response to OpenClaw.

Background

The question is no longer if AI agents can help us get work done, but how much they can do. As capabilities rise, the goalposts shift. Recently, Google shifted development resources away from the browser‑based Project Mariner and toward systems more like OpenClaw【https://www.androidauthority.com/google-project-mariner-shutdown-3664323/】.

Remy: An Internally Tested Agentic AI

According to a report from Business Insider【https://www.businessinsider.com/google-ai-agent-openclaw-remy-gemini-assistant-2026-5】, Google is internally testing a new agentic AI system dubbed “Remy.” While it’s unclear whether Remy is the direct successor to Project Mariner, it is described as being similar in operation to OpenClaw.

Key claims about Remy:

• Deep integration across Google – it can monitor for things that matter to you, handle complex tasks proactively, and learn your preferences over time.
• Elevator pitch: “Remy is your 24/7 personal agent for work, school, and daily life, powered by Gemini.”

Google employees are reportedly dogfooding Remy【https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food】. It’s not yet known whether Remy will remain an internal productivity tool or eventually be released publicly. The references to “work” and “school” suggest a broader, possibly consumer‑facing ambition.

Comparison with Existing Gemini Functionality

Gemini already provides agentic functionality【https://www.androidauthority.com/agentic-gemini-march-pixel-drop-3646082/】, completing tasks on users’ behalf. However, most existing solutions are narrowly focused on specific apps or use cases. The descriptions of Remy imply a more broadly useful agent that could operate across many Google services, potentially giving Google a stronger foothold in the competitive AI‑agent space.

Outlook

Remy is still in internal testing, so a public launch is unlikely in the immediate term. Nonetheless, with Google I/O approaching【https://www.androidauthority.com/google-io-2026-schedule-released-3657467/】, we may hear more about Google’s future plans for the tool at the conference.
