GoKawiilTL;DR Google’s next agentic AI could already be under internal testing at the company.
Codenamed “Remy,” the tool is described as a “24/7 personal agent.”
After spinning down work on Project Mariner efforts, Remy may be Google’s response to OpenClaw.
Right now, the question isn’t whether or not AI agents can help get work done for us on our behalf — it’s just how much we’re able to do with them. As systems reach higher and higher levels of capabilities, we’re already seeing the goalposts move, and just the other day we heard that Google was shifting development resources away from the browser-based Project Mariner and on to more OpenClaw-like systems. Now another report shines a little more light on the shape such efforts are taking.

Google is internally testing a new agentic AI system dubbed “Remy,” according to a report from Business Insider. It’s not clear if this is the same project those Project Mariner devs pivoted to, but it’s similarly described as quite like OpenClaw in its operation.

The sources sharing this information haven’t clarified, though, whether it’s meant to stay as an internal tool, helping maximize employee productivity, or if it may eventually see the light of day with a public release. Those “work” and “school” references definitely have us thinking it’s more the latter.
