Google Shuts Down Project Mariner — Web-Browsing AI Agent Killed, Tech Folded Into Gemini Agent
Google terminated Project Mariner on May 4, confirmed by a shutdown notice on its landing page. First revealed at Google I/O 2024 as a screenshot-based web automation agent, Mariner never graduated from experimental status. Wired reported staff were moved off the team months ago as Google pivoted toward OpenClaw-style agents. The core technology has been absorbed into Gemini Agent, which now handles email archiving, reservation booking, and web task automation natively.
