The new Gemini Enterprise: one platform for agent development, orchestration, and governance

The first wave of AI changed how we find information; the next wave is changing how we get work done. Today, we’re enhancing our most powerful AI tools and bringing them together under one roof. 

Gemini Enterprise is now an end-to-end system for the agentic era, built for agents that can execute complex, multi-step work processes. It combines access to frontier AI models, an intuitive UI, a secure development framework, and the ability to successfully deploy agents at scale. 

At Google Cloud Next, we’re launching an expanded Gemini Enterprise portfolio that includes several key components: 

1. Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform is our new developer platform and evolution of Vertex AI. It brings together our full suite of models, development, and tuning services, with new features for businesses to build, scale, govern, and optimize agents that can work autonomously to execute complex business workflows. Learn more here.

2. Gemini Enterprise app lets teams discover, create, share, and run AI agents in a single, secure environment. The Gemini Enterprise app is built on the Agent Platform, meaning all governance, security, and identity capabilities come standard, and it integrates with your enterprise data – including data in third-party systems–through connectors.  

3. An open partner ecosystem to discover and deploy a wide range of third-party agents from leaders like Oracle, Salesforce, and ServiceNow – all within a secure and governed environment.

As organizations start building and managing thousands of agents, they need new ways to provide oversight and minimize sprawl. Gemini Enterprise enables IT departments to manage agent permissions and activities securely. It provides the same level of oversight and auditability found in essential business applications like payroll or quarterly financial reporting.

Gemini Enterprise’s unified approach provides multiple advantages across an organization: 

• For developers: Agent Platform is the foundation for the agentic enterprise built on our leading infrastructure and deeply integrated with our data and security capabilities. It’s where technical teams can build innovative agents that transform your products and services, alongside agents that scale your internal operations. With tools like low-code Agent Studio, support for Agent Development Kit (ADK), and protocols like A2A and MCP, Agent Platform is the key to building, scaling and optimizing agents across the entire organization. 

• For IT teams: We provide a single control plane for governance in Agent Platform, so every employee can use and share agents with full IT visibility. Both no-code and pro-code agents are managed through a consistent model for identity, security, and auditing – preventing AI sprawl without slowing down innovation. 

• For knowledge workers: Gemini Enterprise app is the front door for AI for every employee in your organization. Knowledge workers can build their own agents with our no-code Agent Designer or leverage a wide range of partner-built agents from Google Cloud Marketplace. And these agents can be easily shared across the organization with full governance and compliance controls built-in. Inbox in Gemini Enterprise provides a central location to manage and monitor agents, including long-running agents. 

Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform: securely orchestrating the agentic enterprise

At the heart of the Gemini Enterprise experience is our new Agent Platform. It’s the central place where developers can build, scale, govern, and optimize fleets of agents. Today, we're introducing new capabilities across four key areas:

• Build: An enhanced Agent Development Kit (ADK) helps you unlock more powerful reasoning by organizing agents in a network of sub-agents. With ADK’s new graph-based framework, you can orchestrate complex processes with new ecosystem integrations and support for MCP.

• Scale: With our improved Agent Runtime, your agents can be both fast and persistent, and with agent-to-agent orchestration, they can seamlessly delegate tasks to one another. The launch of Memory Bank and Memory Profiles also ensure agents operate with long-term contextual memory, allowing them to recall user preferences and past history across different sessions.

• Govern: Our secure-by-design architecture gives IT teams centralized control over their entire agent lifecycle. Agent Identity assigns every agent a unique cryptographic ID for complete traceability and auditing, while Agent Gateway provides air traffic control to ensure interactions between agents and data is secure. Model Armor then protects against activities like prompt injection, tool poisoning, and sensitive data leakage.

• Optimize: To move beyond trial-and-error, the new Agent Simulation  tool allows you to stress-test your agents against real-world scenarios before they ship. Agent Observability also helps ensure agents function exactly as intended, providing a real-time view into safety and performance.   

Any agent built on Agent Platform can then be instantly surfaced in the Gemini Enterprise app for your employees to access. By building on a foundation where security and identity are included by default, you can stop worrying about managing risk and start focusing on managing agent-led business outcomes.

The Gemini Enterprise app: your hub for everyday work

In the Gemini Enterprise app, teams can discover, create, share, collaborate, and run agents in a single environment. With data governance and compliance built in, it gives your teams a safe place to leverage agents grounded with your business data. It also provides a simple interface for users to engage, and democratizes the power of agent creation, orchestration, and scaling to every individual in the organization. 

New capabilities available in the Gemini Enterprise app include the ability to: 

• Innovate with no-code agents: Using the newly-integrated Agent Designer, anyone can create agents to automate complex, multi-system processes with simple, natural language. This includes schedule or trigger-based agents, including those triggered by another business application, even via a partner connector.

• Centralize agent oversight: Inbox in Gemini Enterprise provides a unified hub for managing agents at scale, including long-running agents executing complex workflows. Users can monitor active agents, adjust configurations, and receive real-time status alerts directly through email and chat, ensuring automated processes stay on track.

• Establish persistent team memory: Moving beyond individual chats, Projects creates a shared workspace for teams and agents. It centralizes the context and history of a given topic, ensuring that critical project intelligence remains a permanent company asset even as team members or roles change. 

• Collaborate in a dynamic workspace: Canvas provides teams with an interactive editor to co-create and edit in Google Docs and Slides. We’ve also added Microsoft 365 interoperability, allowing you to export the Docs and Slides you create within Canvas into common Microsoft Office formats.

The agent economy: amplified by our partner ecosystem

No organization can build every agent they need from scratch. The agentic enterprise thrives on an open, interoperable ecosystem. That's why we are helping to make it easier than ever to discover and deploy specialized agents from our partners. 

Benefits include: 

• Activating third-party agents from within the Gemini Enterprise app: We are now bringing the full catalog of partner-built agents from Google Cloud Marketplace directly into the Agent Gallery. You no longer need to leave your workflow to find and deploy powerful third-party agents. The app provides a secure request-and-approval gateway that connects employee needs to IT-validated solutions.

• A growing library of trusted solutions: Agent Gallery features an expansive collection of validated agents from SaaS leaders and innovative startups. For example, you can use specialized agents from partners like Adobe, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Workday–directly within the Gemini Enterprise app.

• Deploy with confidence: Every partner agent in the gallery has been validated by Google Cloud to meet our requirements for security and interoperability. This allows you to benefit from a world of innovation, while maintaining the centralized governance and control your business demands.
