Google expands Gemini Enterprise agents to India, Singapore, ANZ and Israel
- Google Cloud said on April 22 it launched Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, a new developer stack for building and governing AI agents, and positioned it as the successor to Vertex AI. - The platform folds in Vertex AI’s model and agent tools, adds security, orchestration and DevOps features, and gives access to more than 200 models for enterprise deployments. - The rollout matters because Google is recasting enterprise AI around agents, not chatbots, and tying them to centralized governance and app access.

Google Cloud launched Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform on April 22 and said it is the new home for building, scaling, governing and optimizing enterprise AI agents. (cloud.google.com) Google described the product as an evolution of Vertex AI, folding model selection, model building and agent-building tools into a single platform with added orchestration, DevOps and security controls. (cloud.google.com 1) (cloud.google.com 2) The company paired that launch with a broader repositioning of Gemini Enterprise as an end-to-end system for the “agentic era,” combining the developer platform with a workplace app where employees can discover, run and manage agents. (cloud.google.com 1) (cloud.google.com 2) In Google’s framing, the shift is from isolated chat tools to software that can carry out multi-step work across business systems, with centralized identity, governance and audit controls. (cloud.google.com 1) (cloud.google.com 2) The new platform is aimed at technical teams. Google’s documentation says it supports low-code building in Agent Studio, code-based development in notebooks, and an open-source Agent Development Kit for multi-agent systems. (docs.cloud.google.com) (docs.cloud.google.com) Google also said the platform can work with more than 200 foundation models, including Gemini models and selected third-party models, while the Gemini Enterprise app can govern Google-built, partner-built and internally built agents in one place. (cloud.google.com) (cloud.google.com) The regional posts cited in the prompt appear to be local Google Cloud marketing around this global launch, not separate product debuts with different technical terms or launch dates. The primary announcement came from Google Cloud Next ’26 on April 22. (cloud.google.com) (cloud.google.com) Google used customer and partner examples to show the sales pitch. FairPrice Group in Singapore was cited as using Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform in its “Store of Tomorrow” program, and partners including Adobe, Atlassian, Salesforce, ServiceNow and Workday were listed in the surrounding Gemini Enterprise rollout. (cloud.google.com) (cloud.google.com) The immediate takeaway is that Google has stopped treating Vertex AI as the main enterprise AI brand for agents. It is now selling Gemini Enterprise as the front door, with Agent Platform underneath it. (cloud.google.com) (cloud.google.com)
