Google Launches Computer Use in Gemini 3.5 Flash, Enabling AI Agents to Control Browsers, Mobile, and Desktop
Summary
Google launches computer use in Gemini 3.5 Flash, empowering AI agents to see, reason, and take control of browsers, mobile, and desktop environments, while deploying new security safeguards to protect against prompt injection attacks.
Key Points
- Google is launching computer use as a built-in tool in Gemini 3.5 Flash, enabling developers to build agents that can see, reason, and take action across browser, mobile, and desktop environments.
- The new capability unlocks improved performance for long-horizon and enterprise automation tasks such as continuous software testing and knowledge work, and is accessible via the Gemini API and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.
- To address security risks, Google is deploying targeted adversarial training against prompt injection and releasing two optional enterprise safeguards that require user confirmation for sensitive actions and automatically halt tasks when indirect prompt injections are detected.
