Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform: A New Era of Enterprise AI Agents
Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform is a new solution from Google and an evolution of Vertex AI Platform. A complete platform for building, scaling, managing, and optimizing AI agents in production environments. We explain what's changing and what it means for your business.
In the early days of generative AI, building reliable business tools required a huge amount of engineering. Vertex AI solved much of that complexity. But the situation has changed: we now manage agents that communicate with multiple systems — often without the necessary layers of security and governance.
Google has taken the next step. Google Cloud Next '26 was launched on the market within the framework of Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform: A comprehensive platform for building, scaling, managing, and optimizing AI agents so they perform as reliably as your team members.
Most important for your business: Vertex AI isn't going away - it's evolving. All the model selection, creation, and training capabilities you've used so far are now integrated Agent Platform environment, plus new features in agent identity, DevOps, orchestration, and security. If you already use Vertex AI platform, the transition is a natural one.
Google Cloud Premier Partner ArgentoCloud is ready to help you get the most out of this platform from day one. Below we explain what it includes, what's changing, and how it can transform your workflows.
Agent Platform: Four Pillars
The Agent Platform organizes the entire agent lifecycle around four pillars, covering everything from creation to optimization in a production environment.
Creating agents
There is a new option Agent Studio (visual, low-code) or advanced Agent Development Kit (ADK) (code-first). Both allow you to go from idea to production readiness in just a few hours, thanks to artificial intelligence-based programming assistance.
Agent scaling
New Agent Runtime enables cold starts lasting less than a second and autonomous operation of agents for days, preserving state Memory Bank function to ensure long-term and lasting context.
Agent management
Each agent can use Agent Identity unique cryptographic identity, centralized registry entry using Agent Registry, and traffic management using Agent Gateway. Enterprise-grade security by design.
Agent optimization
Simulate realistic conversations before launch, monitor work in a production environment with full traces of the agent's reasoning, and let Agent Optimizer feature to automatically suggest improvements.
Access to over 200 models in the Model Garden catalog
The Agent Platform provides premium access to the broadest model catalog on the market, including Google's latest proprietary models and third-party models.
Gemini 3.1 Pro
Google's most advanced model for complex reasoning and multimodal tasks.
Gemini 3.1 Flash Image
Native image generation and processing with optimized speed.
Gemma 4
Google's open source model for on-premises and edge deployments.
Lyria 3
Google's new model for generating high-quality audio and music.
Claude ( Anthropic )
Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku are available on the platform as third-party models.
+200 models
Complete flexibility in choosing the best model for each use case.
The most important technical innovations
What the Agent Platform changes
🔄 Vertex AI → Agent Platform
All Vertex AI services and development roadmap are now offered exclusively through the Agent Platform environment. This is not a standalone product, but a natural progression.
🧠 Memory Bank
Agents create and maintain long-term memories from conversations. Thanks to Memory Profiles, they can recall details with high accuracy and low latency.
🔐 Agent Identity
Each agent receives a unique cryptographic ID. Every action is audited and associated with authorization rules defined by your team.
⚡ Updated Agent Runtime
Sub-second cold starts, multi-day workflows, inter-agent orchestration using deterministic and generative patterns.
🛡️ Agent Gateway
Centralized traffic management between agents and tools in any environment, with integrated Model Armor protection against prompt injection and data leaks.
🔬 Agent Optimizer
Automatically analyzes failures in a production environment, groups them based on patterns, and recommends advanced instructions to correct agent behavior.
How global companies use it
Here are some companies that are already transforming their operations with the Agent Platform solution:
They use ADK to transform decades of project data into actionable information in real time. Agents combine deterministic business rules with probabilistic reasoning.
Built using their ADK and Agent Runtime service, Color Assistant automates breast cancer screening: checks eligibility, connects patients with medical professionals, and books appointments at scale.
They rebuilt their Xfinity Assistant solution using the ADK and multi-agent architecture, and moved from simple scripts to generative chat-based support that resolves the issue on the first interaction.
They built their Beauty Tech Agentic Platform on Google Cloud Platform. They use ADK to autonomously orchestrate these agents, which are connected to their data sources via MCP.
What does this mean for your business?
Agent Platform changes the paradigm: the focus is no longer on managing individual AI tasks, but delegating comprehensive business results for agents with identity, memory, and enterprise-level management.
If you already use Vertex AI platform
The transition is natural. Everything that used to work will continue to work, and now it is possible to use new management (Agent Identity, Registry, Gateway) and scaling layers (Memory Bank, updated Runtime) without migrating anything.
If you haven't started with artificial intelligence yet
The Agent Platform is the best possible starting point. You can start with the Agent Studio environment (visual, code-free) and move up to the ADK when you need more control. The pre-trained models in the Agent Garden catalog allow you to get started right away with tasks such as invoice processing, financial analysis, or code modernization.
If you are concerned about security and management
It is the first agent platform to treat security as a core pillar, not an add-on. Agent Identity, Model Armor, Agent Anomaly Detection, and integration with the Security Command Center solution provide the level of control that European enterprises need to comply with GDPR and the EU AI Act.
Do you want to implement the Agent Platform solution in your company?
As Google Cloud Premier Partner, we help you design, build, and deploy AI agents from day one with Agent Platform. Identity management, governance, and scale are included.
Talk to our teamFrequently asked questions
No. Vertex AI will continue to evolve and be fully integrated into Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. All existing model selection, training, and agent creation capabilities are still available, but new features have been added in the areas of management, identity, and scalability. There is no need to migrate anything - it is a natural evolution.
Agent Identity assigns a unique cryptographic identifier to each agent. Each agent action is logged and associated with authorization rules. This is critical for both compliance ( GDPR , EU AI Act) and full traceability of each agent's actions within an organization.
Not necessarily. Agent Studio provides a visual, low-code interface for building agents without writing code. If you need more customization, you can export your logic to the ADK (Agent Development Kit) and continue working in a full code-based environment. There are solutions for users of all technical levels.
With over 200 models available in the Model Garden catalog, including Gemini 3.1 Pro , Gemini 3.1 Flash Image, Gemma 4, Lyria 3, and third-party models like Anthropicu Claude , you can choose the best model for any task without switching platforms.
Yes. The Agent Platform includes security by design, including solutions such as Agent Identity, Agent Gateway with Model Armor protection (protection against prompt injection), Agent Anomaly Detection, and integration with the Security Command Center solution. In addition, Google Cloud ensures data retention in the EU, meets GDPR requirements, and facilitates compliance with the Estonian Information Security Standard (E-ITS).
As Google Cloud Premier Partner, we help you design your agent architecture, choose the right models, implement governance and security layers, and train your team to operate independently. We provide support throughout the process—from proof of concept to production deployment.
