Google enhances Gemini API Managed Agents with background tasks, remote MCP integration, and more, boosting AI development capabilities.
Google has rolled out significant updates to its Managed Agents in the Gemini API, designed to enhance developer capabilities for building production-ready AI agents. Announced on July 7, 2026, these additions include long-running background task support, remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server integration, custom function execution, and streamlined credential management. These updates build on Google’s broader push into agentic AI, following the debut of Managed Agents during Google I/O in May 2026. Managed Agents enable developers to create isolated cloud-based Linux environments that handle reasoning, code execution, and web browsing within a single API call. The Gemini Interactions API, which po

FireSat deploys 3 new satellites, advancing early wildfire detection with Google AI and Muon Space. Full operational capacity expected by 2030.
Three new FireSat satellites successfully launched on July 7, 2026, from California’s Vandenberg Space Force Base, marking a significant milestone in wildfire detection and prevention technology. The satellites expand the FireSat constellation, a collaborative project between the Earth Fire Alliance (EFA), Muon Space, and Google Research, aimed at providing real-time, high-resolution data to firefighting agencies worldwide. Backed by $69 million in grants from Google.org, the Bezos Earth Fund, and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the FireSat initiative is designed to detect wildfires as small as 5×5 meters—an unprecedented level of sensitivity. The network leverages Google AI to analyze

In June 2026, Google introduced the Open Knowledge Format (OKF), an open specification for how AI agents organise and exchange knowledge. An OKF bundle is just Markdown files, lightweight YAML metadata, and links between concepts, yet it challenges the assumption that every AI application needs embeddings and vector databases. Because the knowledge base is plain […]
