Google Cloud launches Gemini Enterprise for AI agents
Google Cloud unveils Gemini Enterprise, an AI agent platform for business
Google Cloud has introduced Gemini Enterprise, a platform designed to bring generative and agentic AI directly to enterprise employees through a single chat-driven interface.
The system is powered by Google’s Gemini models and lets staff analyze information, search company data, and orchestrate specialized agents to automate work across departments. Organizations can connect data from Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, SAP and other systems, with centralized controls to govern, secure, and audit every agent.
What’s in the platform
- Agent workspace and orchestration: Employees can spin up and coordinate agents to handle tasks such as research, summarization, and data insights.
- Data connectors and governance: Built-in integrations link major business apps, while a governance framework provides visibility, policy enforcement, and audit trails from one console.
- Low‑code builder: A visual tool enables the creation of customer engagement agents and deployment across phone, web, mobile, email, and chat. Google says the conversational voices are natural‑sounding.
- New and upcoming capabilities: A preview Data Science Agent automates data ingestion, and preview conversational agents allow users to interact directly with Gemini Enterprise. Google is also adding multimodal agents in Workspace, including Google Vids, which can turn presentations and documents into videos. Real‑time speech translation is slated for Google Voice business customers.
Industry context and differentiation
Analysts say Gemini Enterprise positions Google against Microsoft’s Copilot and OpenAI’s enterprise offerings, while emphasizing a broader, security‑first platform approach. Forrester’s Mike Gualtieri noted that Google bundles multiple tools with an added security layer and is leaning into interoperability through two protocols: A2A (agent‑to‑agent communication) and AP2 (Agent Payments Protocol), intended to let agents communicate and make payments on a user’s behalf. Google is demonstrating how these protocols work with partners such as ServiceNow and Workday.
Gartner’s Ed Anderson said the platform consolidates decisions enterprises face—model choice, data integration, agent deployment, and management—into a cohesive stack, while simplifying the user experience. He highlighted the breadth of agents available (first‑party, third‑party, proprietary, and enterprise‑specific) and access to Gemini LLMs grounded in both internet and corporate data.
Omdia analyst Mike Leone pointed to Google’s prebuilt connectors as a way to help teams build trusted agents faster, and praised the governance layer for delivering the auditability and transparency many organizations seek before wider rollout. He added that the low‑code approach helps everyday business users adopt agentic AI without deep technical skills.
Partners and ecosystem
Google says users can tap into an ecosystem of more than 100,000 partners. Early agent integrations include:
- Box: Box AI Agent to answer questions, summarize complex documents, and extract data from files in Box.
- Salesforce: Integrations that connect Slack with Gemini Enterprise to give agents access to conversations and workflows.
- Manhattan Associates: A Solution Navigator agent that answers questions about the company’s supply chain products and policies.
Google is also expanding relationships with systems integrators, including Deloitte, KPMG, and PwC. Virgin Voyages is adopting Gemini Enterprise to embed generative AI features across its software platforms, with new agents built on the service.
Pricing and availability
Gemini Enterprise is available wherever Google Cloud products are sold, offered in Standard and tiers starting at $30 per user per month. A new Code Assist Agent is included alongside the Data Science Agent preview.
For smaller teams, Google introduced Gemini Business at $21 per user per month, aimed at SMBs, startups, and individual departments. It requires no IT setup—anyone with an email address can get started—and comes with a 30‑day free trial.
To accelerate adoption, Google launched “Gemini Enterprise Agent Ready,” a consulting initiative intended to help one million developers build enterprise‑grade AI agents.
The bottom line
Gemini Enterprise consolidates AI search, data integration, and agent orchestration into one governed platform. With deep connectors, governance controls, and a growing partner network, Google is pitching a simpler on‑ramp to agentic AI for both technical teams and everyday users—while directly challenging rival enterprise AI stacks.
