Google is also working to develop 'AI agents' to make it easier for users to use AI. Google is working with major game developers, including Supercell, to test AI's ability to interpret rules and challenges in games such as ' Clash of Clans ,' ' Hay Day ,' and ' Squad Busters .'

'Using Gemini 2.0, the AI agent can reason about the game and suggest what to do next based solely on your on-screen actions,' said Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis and CTO Korey Kavukcuoglu. 'Not only will the AI agent act as a virtual gaming companion, but it can also connect you to a wealth of gaming knowledge on the web using Google Search.'

'I want to complete the weekly quest, what should I do?' a user asks.

Gemini 2.0 responded, 'Apparently you need to collect 300 gems and defeat 10 boss monsters. It looks like you're already on the mission to collect 300 gems.'

In another example, while playing, the user is asked, 'Thinking about which character to choose? Search Reddit for 'What are the current popular characters?' and 'What are the recommended characters?''

Gemini 2.0 then explained in detail, '

Shelly is recommended as she has high knockback and self-healing abilities. In addition, Jessie and the Ice Wizard are also currently positioned as 'powerful characters.''

'In addition to exploring agent capabilities in virtual worlds, we are testing agents that can help in the real world by applying Gemini 2.0's spatial reasoning capabilities to robotics. While we're still a long way from fully realizing this, we're excited about the future possibilities for AI agents that can assist users in physical environments,' Google said.
