Google Cloud launches Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform as unified agent hub

Full analysis

At Google Cloud Next '26, Google announced the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform — a comprehensive platform to build, scale, govern, and optimize AI agents. Critically, all Vertex AI services and future roadmap evolutions will be delivered exclusively through this Agent Platform rather than as standalone services, making it the single hub for Google Cloud's agent development story. The platform introduces capabilities including Agent Designer (no-code, trigger-based agent builder), long-running agents, an Inbox for monitoring agent activity, Projects (agent memory scoped to team data), Skills (shortcuts for repetitive tasks), and an Agent Gallery with third-party integrations from Adobe, Atlassian, ServiceNow, and others.
