Google is building a prototype feature called Rooms for Gemini Enterprise that works like a shared workspace for teams. Instead of just having Gemini answer questions on demand, Rooms lets people and the AI collaborate in one focused environment around a specific goal. To set one up, you define what you're trying to accomplish, create a playbook that tells Gemini how to operate, and build a knowledge base. Team members can then add files, maintain shared context, and chat with each other or Gemini all in the same place. The feature hasn't been announced publicly yet, and TestingCatalog found it by digging through recent Gemini Enterprise builds where it's still marked as experimental.
Rooms look like an evolution of Projects, which Google announced at Cloud Next 2026 as workspaces where humans and AI agents work together. Projects already pull in conversations and documents from Google Workspace, OneDrive, NotebookLM, and team chats. Rooms appear to go further by adding an explicit objective, operating instructions, and a more structured knowledge layer. This shift matters because it positions Gemini less as a general assistant sitting on top of your data and more as a tool built into actual project and operational work. One obvious gap right now: there's no sign that Google Meet integration is part of the prototype, even though connecting call context to room decisions and documentation would be genuinely useful.
Google has been systematically rebuilding Gemini Enterprise as an agentic workplace platform. Long-running agents, Projects, Canvas, an Agent Gallery, enterprise connectors, and persistent memory are all pieces of that puzzle. Interface changes back this up—the Customization area is being reorganized with dedicated Agents and Memory sections, suggesting agents will get their own management area. Right now Rooms are still internal only, so the final name, launch timeline, which data sources it'll support, and whether it replaces or runs alongside Projects all remain unknown.
