In our dialogue with industry leaders about Google Cloud — CEOs, CTOs, and leading engineers — we consistently encounter the same fundamental question: how do we move from discussing artificial intelligence to its practical implementation that delivers measurable value, rather than becoming another costly technological initiative?
Modern companies face a series of systemic challenges. Teams are overloaded with routine operations, critical data remains siloed in disparate systems, and the development of even a basic internal AI assistant has historically required specialized experts. However, at Google Cloud Next ‘26, the landscape changed forever. The era of simple chatbots is over. Google has officially announced that Vertex AI has evolved into the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. This isn’t just a name change — it’s a fundamental shift in how we build AI, positioning Google as the “Operating System” for the agentic era.
To clarify the product’s roadmap, it is important to note that the core technology formerly known as Agentspace has undergone a strategic evolution. It is now the foundational engine of the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. Unlike closed systems, this platform is multi-model by design. While Gemini remains the flagship, the platform is open, allowing you to build, scale, and manage agents using Anthropic’s Claude, Meta’s Llama, and more via Model Garden.
Data engineering has received a massive upgrade with the introduction of the Agentic Data Cloud, featuring the Google Cloud Data Agent Kit. Data is no longer a static resource; it is an active participant in your business. This is powered by specialized agents:
Data Engineering Agent: Automates ETL processes and data cleaning.
Data Science Agent: Assists in building and deploying predictive models.
Database Observability Agent: Proactively manages database health and performance.
By integrating the Knowledge Catalog, these agents understand the business context behind the numbers, breaking down silos across Salesforce, BigQuery, and legacy systems.
Building agents is one thing; running thousands of them simultaneously requires unprecedented power. Google Cloud has set a new bar with infrastructure designed specifically for agentic workloads:
Component |
Capability |
TPU 8t and TPU 8i |
Next-generation compute designed for continuous agentic workloads. |
Virgo Network Fabric |
Connecting up to 134,000 chips for massive scalability. |
One of the biggest breakthroughs is the integration of partner-built agents directly into the Gemini Enterprise App:
Salesforce & ServiceNow: For CRM and workflow automation.
Adobe & Atlassian: For creative and project management.
Workday & Oracle: For HR and Finance intelligence.
As threats accelerate, Google redefines security with three specialized agents in Google Security Operations: Detection Agents, Response Agents, and Model Armor—a shield to prevent prompt injections. Furthermore, every agent now has a cryptographic Agent Identity, ensuring every action is auditable and secure.
The transition to the Gemini Enterprise platform marks a paradigm shift: moving from AI “assistants” to AI “colleagues”. These autonomous agents don’t just answer queries; they execute complex projects and business processes. Gemini Enterprise provides the tools not just to keep pace, but to lead the “Agentic Enterprise”.
