More →Google Wants Gemini to Be Your Next Coworker—Complete With Its Own Email Address
Google Cloud introduced a universal AI agent for the workplace on Thursday, one it says can take a goal, go off and do the work, and return with the finished result. CEO Thomas Kurian presented it at the company's <a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/ai-machine-learning/welcome-to-gemini-at-work-2026" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">Gemini at Work</a> event, saying that "work now starts in the prompt window." The product, simply called the Gemini Agent, works inside Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Chat and Calendar, and also reaches into Microsoft 365 and Slack. Google says it keeps running in the cloud after you close your laptop, so a single task can stretch across hours or days. The most interesting feature is what Google calls coworker agents. A manager describes a role, such as events coordinator, and Gemini creates an agent with its own Workspace account: an email address, a calendar, Drive storage and a listing in the company directory. This is similar to what other agentic frameworks have explored. For example Grok popularized it with Grok Bot, OpenAI did the same with GPT dots, and Hermes introduced its bots feature offering the same functionality. The new agent connects to Salesforce, ServiceNow, Jira, Snowflake, BigQuery and any server that speaks Model Context Protocol, an open standard that works like a universal plug between AI and software. It also runs on more than Google's own models: Gemini currently orchestrates across Gemini and Claude models from Anthropic, routing each job to the one Google considers the best fit for quality and cost. Letting software act on its own raises obvious safety questions, and Google's answer is to treat each agent like an employee. Every agent gets a cryptographically attested identity, a digital ID verified through cryptography, and every action lands in an audit trail attributed to the agent rather than a person. All agents run inside an Agent Sandbox, a walled-off environment meant to keep software away from the rest of a system, and all their traffic passes through Agent Gateway, which Google describes as an "AI network firewall." Containment has failed before: in July, researchers at Accomplish AI reported that the local mode of <a href="https://decrypt.co/374557/chatgpt-claude-ai-models-escaping-sandboxes-cowork" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">Claude Cowork</a> could escape its Linux virtual machine on Macs and reach files on the host computer. Cost is the other worry, since agents burn through tokens, the chunks of text that AI models read and write and that customers are billed for. Google says nearly 500 of its customers each processed more than one trillion tokens over the past year, and it added real-time spend caps: when a project hits its limit, the agent pauses until someone clicks to resume. Google did not publish pricing or a general availability date for the Gemini agent. The financial services and lega

Brent crude oil prices rebounded to $105 as the US prepares a new round of strikes against Iran.
Bitcoin World News: Brent crude oil prices rose nearly 5% on Thursday, rebounding to about $105 per barrel, the highest level in nearly a month. The rebound was driven by news that Washington is preparing a new round of strikes against Iran. The move reversed the trend from earlier this week when Brent crude briefly fell below $100. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude also climbed above $91. According to an Axios report, the Pentagon has ordered U.S. Central Command to complete preparations for a large-scale operation against Iran, with possible targets including nuclear facilities, energy, and infrastructure. President Trump has not yet made a final decision, but U.S. and Israeli sources said the strikes could take place before Israel's October 27 election and the U.S. midterm elections on November 3. The report followed an article in The Atlantic saying the White House had asked the Pentagon to provide options for a pre-election strike. Officials warned that such a strike could sharply drive up oil prices.
Analyst: EU requires crypto exchanges to stop offering unauthorized stablecoins within three months.
According to news from Bijie, EU regulators have required all crypto exchanges to stop offering unauthorized stablecoins by January 8, 2027. Although no specific tokens were named, the US dollar-based stablecoin Tether (USDT) has not been approved under EU rules. The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) set this deadline in an opinion published on Thursday, applicable to all crypto companies licensed under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). ESMA also stated that relying on warnings or customer confirmations is not sufficient to address the concerns it has identified. In addition, Greece also published a draft on Thursday proposing a 10% tax on crypto gains exceeding 500 euros per year. The draft will be submitted to parliament in November.
Humana (HUM) surged more than 13% in after-hours U.S. trading.
CoinWorld news: Humana (HUM) rose more than 13% in after-hours U.S. trading, as the company showed improvement in a key Medicare Advantage quality rating, which will boost future revenue. According to data released Thursday by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the company's largest Medicare Advantage contract, covering more than 2 million members, has been upgraded above the threshold for bonus payments. Shares of other companies, including CVS Health and Alignment Healthcare, fell as their ratings deteriorated or dropped below the threshold for bonus payments. These quality metrics, known as "star ratings," can translate into billions of dollars in bonuses if insurance plans reach four stars or above.
AI memory boom drives Samsung profit nearly ninefold, but shares fall
CoinWorld data: Samsung Electronics expects third-quarter operating profit to reach 107.4 trillion won (about $80.2 billion), up about 783% year-on-year. Despite this, Samsung's stock price fell after the announcement, with investors questioning how long this growth can last. The profit surge was mainly driven by soaring demand for memory chips needed for artificial intelligence infrastructure. Samsung's share of the high-bandwidth memory (HBM) market is expected to rise from 20% to 34%. However, analysts have lowered Samsung's earnings expectations due to concerns over the won's appreciation and future chip pricing.

分析师：Travala联合BNB Chain与Binance Pay推出AI旅行代理
Crypto news outlet CoinWorld reports that crypto travel booking platform Travala has announced a partnership with BNB Chain and Binance Pay to launch a native AI Travel Agent. The tool is deployed on desktop and mobile web pages, allowing travelers to search for and book hotels worldwide directly through conversational AI using USDT on BNB Smart Chain (BSC), without the need to download an additional app. The underlying technology is provided by BNB Chain's Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) SDK and agent framework, while Binance Pay handles fund settlement. Users only need to complete a gas-free authorization by signing off-chain via a wallet authorization for Permit2, after which Binance Pay pays the on-chain network fee on their behalf and transfers the funds to the Travala platform to generate an on-chain voucher confirming the order. The initial phase covers hotel bookings, with flight and car rental services to be launched in subsequent phases.
