Google Unveils Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform to Power Next-Generation Agents

The Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform is a new unified platform succeeding the existing Vertex AI, covering the entire process of agent build, scale, govern, optimize in one place. Google stated that going forward, all Vertex AI services and roadmap items will be offered only through this platform.

The platform provides access to more than 200 models through Model Garden, supporting Gemini 3.1 Pro, Gemini 3.1 Flash Image, Lyria 3, and Gemma 4, as well as Anthropic's Claude Opus/Sonnet/Haiku. Developers can choose between the low-code-focused Agent Studio and the code-focused ADK (Agent Development Kit) environments to build agents, and can speed up development using AI-powered coding features and templates.

Key features are as follows.

• Build: ADK's graph-based sub-agent structure, security-enhanced Workspaces, multimodal streaming support
• Connect: Native Ecosystem Integrations for connecting internal data and tools, batch and event-driven agents leveraging BigQuery and Pub/Sub
• Scale: Agent Runtime supporting sub-second cold starts, long-running agents that operate over multiple days, Agent Sandbox for code execution and browser automation
• Govern/Optimize: Agent Identity, Agent Registry, Agent Gateway, and Agent Simulation, Agent Evaluation, Agent Observability

Google also highlighted real-world adoption effects through case studies from Burns & McDonnell, Color, Comcast, Geotab, Gurunavi, L'Oréal, Payhawk, PayPal, and others. For example, the key focus areas presented were long-term memory, multi-agent workflows, and more reliably automating tasks such as insurance, healthcare, customer support, and payments.
