Google’s Gemini enterprise stack

Google Cloud this week launched Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, a new platform for building, deploying, governing, and optimizing artificial intelligence agents for business use. (cloud.google.com) Google says the platform is “the evolution of Vertex AI,” combining model access, model-building, and agent-building with new controls for integration, DevOps, orchestration, and security. (cloud.google.com) In Google’s new packaging, Gemini Enterprise now has two pieces: the Gemini Enterprise app for employees and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform for developers and information technology teams. (cloud.google.com 1) (cloud.google.com 2) An AI agent is software that can take a goal, use tools and data, and complete multi-step work with limited human prompting. Google is pitching this stack as the system for companies that want those agents to run inside real business workflows. (cloud.google.com) (docs.cloud.google.com) The developer layer includes Agent Development Kit, an open-source framework Google says can build, debug, and deploy single-agent and multi-agent systems at enterprise scale. (docs.cloud.google.com) Google is also pushing open interoperability through its Agent2Agent, or A2A, protocol, which is meant to let agents communicate across different platforms and models. Version 0.3 of that protocol was announced as a more stable interface for developers. (cloud.google.com) Inside the Gemini Enterprise app, Google says customers can discover and govern partner-built agents through an Agent Gallery fed by the Google Cloud Marketplace. Google named partners including Accenture, Adobe, Atlassian, Deloitte, Oracle, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Workday. (cloud.google.com) ServiceNow used the launch window to deepen its Google Cloud tie-up. Its newsroom said on April 22 that the two companies are uniting AI agents for “autonomous enterprise operations,” extending a partnership they expanded in January 2025. (newsroom.servicenow.com 1) (newsroom.servicenow.com 2) Deloitte is building around the stack too. Google said Deloitte is forming a dedicated Google Cloud Agentic Transformation practice and will roll out Gemini Enterprise to more than 100,000 of its own teams. (cloud.google.com) (deloitte.com) Google is also putting money behind the ecosystem. The company said it is creating a $750 million partner fund for agentic development across consulting firms, software vendors, and channel partners. (cloud.google.com) The bet is that companies want one place to build agents, connect them to enterprise data, and control how they are used. Google’s documentation says the platform supports more than 200 foundation models and tools ranging from low-code Agent Studio to code-based notebook development. (docs.cloud.google.com) That also sets up the real fight in enterprise AI: whether buyers want open, portable agents or a tightly integrated stack that spans models, tools, governance, and distribution. Google is arguing it can offer both through open-source tooling and protocols wrapped inside its own cloud platform. (docs.cloud.google.com) (cloud.google.com) The immediate next step is adoption. Google has renamed the pieces, lined up the partners, and given enterprises a single storefront for agents; now it has to prove those agents can move from demos into production work.
