Google’s vision for AI is undergoing a massive shift. Today, Google introduced Gemini 3.5 Flash as the latest in their family of models combining frontier intelligence with action. The faster and smart model delivers frontier performance for agents and coding, while excelling at complex long-horizon tasks that deliver real-world utility.This launch marks a next-generation leap, one that's built entirely around “agentic workflows.” According to Google, the company wants AI to stop behaving like a chatbot you constantly have to manage, and start acting more like an invisible digital layer that can independently complete complex tasks from start to finish.The next wave of AI at a glance

Instead of simply generating text or summarizing information, Gemini 3.5 Flash is designed to execute multi-step workflows, maintain software projects, prepare documents, coordinate “subagents” and handle longer-running tasks with far less human oversight.According to Google, the model outperforms Gemini 3.1 Pro on several coding and agentic benchmarks, including Terminal-Bench 2.1 and MCP Atlas, while also dramatically reducing response latency. That's incredibly important because AI agents often feel frustratingly slow.While tools from companies like OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta can already perform surprisingly advanced workflows, many still feel clunky when juggling multiple steps, browsing tools, or reasoning through complex tasks. Google promises that Gemini 3.5 Flash removes that tradeoff between reasoning power and responsiveness.Google Spark proactively assists with workflows
