Google named a Leader in the 2026 IDC MarketScape for Agentic AI Platforms

• Google was named a Leader in the inaugural IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Agentic AI Platforms 2026 Vendor Assessment.
• The recognition is attributed to Gemini's connected foundation, which addresses enterprise challenges in agent deployment, quality, integration, security, and governance.
• Gemini provides access to over 200 models through Model Garden, including Gemini 4 Argon and the latest Anthropic models, while supporting open standards like MCP and A2A.
• The platform features built-in governance with dedicated agent identities, isolated sandboxes, and Agent Gateway policy enforcement at no additional cost.

Platform Capabilities

• Agents operate within existing workflows in Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and team chats, maintaining persistent memory and enterprise permissions across desktop and mobile.
• Developers can use no-code and low-code builders or code-first workflows via the Agent Development Kit (ADK) and Antigravity.
• Proven workflows can be packaged into shared skills and published to a central Agent Registry for reuse across the organization.

Cost and Security Controls

• Auto mode dynamically matches tasks to the right model, defaulting to Gemini Flash and escalating to frontier reasoning models only when complexity requires it.
• Administrators can set spending limits by project, department, or agent in the billing console to pause new requests when budget thresholds are reached.
• Every agent action is recorded in an audit trail tied to the agent's distinct identity and the user's identity, with data leakage blocked by Agent Gateway.
