What happens to your AI agent when you close your lid?

Still keeping your laptop lid cracked open between meetings—or on the walk to the kitchen—so your local terminal session doesn’t die mid-task?

Google Cloud Developer Relations Engineers Smitha Kolan and Luke Schlangen explain how running Gemini as a persistent cloud actor frees your workflows from local tabs and terminal sessions:
* *No more dead sessions:* Closing your laptop lid, sleeping your machine, or losing Wi-Fi no longer crashes active agent runs.
* *Client independent runtime:* Your agent executes in an always-on cloud environment rather than a fragile local tab or IDE window.
* Reachable from anywhere:* Check in on the same live environment from your CLI, Slack, Google Docs, or your phone.
