Google has had to restrict access to its internal AI, called ‘Agent Smith’, due to its popularity

Google has a internal artificial intelligence model (IA), baptized as ‘Agent Smith’which allows its employees automate tasksbut it has become so popular among workers that the company has had to limit their access to optimize its management.

This ‘Agent Smith’, whose name may be a reference to the Matrix character, run tasks in the backgroundso that employees can consult it and order commands from their own phones and the company’s internal chat platformas reported by Business Insider.

The model, which launched earlier this year, is based on ‘Antigravity’, Google’s agent coding platform for interacting with the company’s various internal tools. Furthermore, you can plan and execute tasks autonomouslyas two employees familiar with the model have indicated to the aforementioned media.

Another source close to the company has explained that ‘Agent Smith’ is proving to be of great help to some software engineers. In addition, one of the people contacted by Business Insider has highlighted that Google co-founder Sergey Brin told workers that these types of agents will have a important role this year.

For its part, a Google spokesperson told the media that “they are always experimenting with new ways to create agents that solve real-world problems for people and companies,” but has not given more details or confirmed the existence of this specific model.

This ‘Agent Smith’ is not the only internal model of big technology. Last March, The Wall Street Journal reported that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is developing an AI-based agent to help him perform his tasks.
