Google CEO says Gemini agents will be integrated into Search through an agentic layer

In an interview with Search Engine Journal, Google chief Sundar Pichai outlined the company’s plan to weave AI agents into its Search experience. He said Google is building a shared agent infrastructure that will run the same Gemini model for both enterprise and consumer use, and that this “agentic layer” will unify chat, task execution and Search without merging the products themselves.

Key points

  • Google is creating a shared agent infrastructure using Gemini for both enterprise and consumer Search.
  • New Argon Gemini models will power the agentic layer and will debut for Ultra and Pro users first.
  • Pichai says the agentic layer will unify Search, chat and task execution rather than merging separate products.

Pichai noted that the newer Argon Gemini models provide a “huge step change” and will first be rolled out to Ultra and Pro users before becoming widely available. He emphasized that agents will run in secure micro‑VMs with continuous monitoring for enterprise governance, and that the same capabilities will be offered to consumers. The vision, he said, is for agents to retain context across Google services, letting users start a task in one place and continue it elsewhere.

The interview also touched on the growing share of “agentic” queries—searches that ask the system to perform actions rather than just return information—based on Google’s usage data. Pichai said this trend will drive deeper integration of Gemini agents into Search over the coming months.
