During the 2025 Google I/O Developer Conference, CEO Sundar Pichai made a groundbreaking announcement: the introduction of 'Proxy Mode' for Gemini applications, alongside an update to the Project Mariner tool. Project Mariner, an AI agent capable of executing web actions like searching and browsing on behalf of users, now boasts the ability to monitor up to 10 tasks concurrently. With 'Proxy Mode', users can delegate tasks to Gemini, which will seamlessly handle them for them. Pichai further disclosed that a trial version of Mariner will soon be accessible to subscribers, heralding a new era of efficient and intuitive digital assistance.
