Google CEO Sundar Pichai opened the Google Cloud Next conference on Wednesday with a video announcing one of the company’s major new products: Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.
Google’s tool is designed for building and managing agents at scale, competing with Amazon’s Bedrock AgentCore and Microsoft Foundry.
Given the advanced state of AI for technical tasks like coding and the newness of the technology to enterprises, where security is a concern, Google’s tool is targeted at IT and technical teams.
Business users, on the other hand, are encouraged to work with Google’s Gemini Enterprise app, introduced in the fall. They can collaborate with agents created by IT or make their own for tasks such as scheduling meetings, executing trigger-based processes, and streamlining repetitive tasks, or for creating and editing files without switching apps, according to Google.
Google highlighted that these tools access its Gemini LLM and Nano Banana 2 image generator, as well as Anthropic’s Claude. The company announced support for Claude Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku, including the new Opus 4.7 that launched last week.
