Google LLC today announced Gemini Enterprise, an all-in-one platform bringing together the company’s cutting-edge models, chatbot and artificial intelligence agents into one centralized platform.

Google Cloud Chief Executive Thomas Kurian said AI has become such a powerful technology that modern businesses are adopting it to transform work and connect to customers. However, many companies suffer from fragmented, piecemeal tooling that must be stitched together.

“The first wave of AI, while promising, has been stuck in silos, unable to orchestrate complex work across an entire organization,” Kurian explained. “True transformation requires a comprehensive platform that connects to your context, your workflows and your people.”

The newly announced platform presents as a chat interface that acts as a “single front door” for all AI interactions in the workplace. From that interface, employees can access everything from advanced AI models and a no-code workbench for building and orchestrating intelligent agents to the full breadth of company knowledge.

Google said that AI chats and agents running on Gemini Enterprise will securely connect to all data sources enterprise users access every day. These sources include Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 and business applications from companies such as Salesforce Inc. and SAP SE.

Using Gemini Enterprise, users will get access to powerful, automated intelligent agents capable of understanding and creating text, images, videos and speech, built right into Workspace apps.

With Google Vids, users can transform any type of information from text, slides or presentations, into engaging videos including an AI-generated script with voiceover. Within Google Meet, users can access real-time speech translation that captures the natural tone expression that makes conversations feel real and present.

Google said it’s offering more than 1,500 AI agents out of the box, capable of accessing an ecosystem of more than 100,000 partners through the new AI agent finder. If a suitable agent doesn’t exist or a user wants to combine agents, Gemini Enterprise also integrates the capabilities of Agentspace, the company’s comprehensive platform for building, managing and deploying AI agents.

Using the no-code builder, users can create workflows where AI agents perform specialized tasks and hand off information to others. This allows users to build teams of artificial workers that automate processes and collaborate on complex projects.

For example, a user might build an agent workflow for marketing campaigns that can take a simple English prompt such as, “Look up the current market trends for Halloween and determine which products will sell best in the upcoming seasonal holiday.” The agent can look at market information from third-parties, produce a report on what costumes and products historically led, then generate marketing materials using images, video and audio for a marketing campaign.

The same agent workflow can generate emails to coworkers including the market report, mockups for campaign materials and more in order to bring them on to collaborate about refining the campaign before the team signs off.

“We’ve taken a lot of the complexity that people have to do to wire all this stuff together and simplified it in the product,” Kurian said.

Industry analysts say the launch could mark a broader shift toward unified AI ecosystems across the enterprise market.

“AI adoption is complicated. The complexity of dealing with all the moving parts, especially across multi-vendor solutions, increases the AI risk profile,” said Ed Anderson, research vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner Inc. “Unified AI systems that account for security, governance, data protection and management across the AI stack, including the development and use of AI agents, help reduce risk and make AI more accessible to enterprises.”

Connecting agents and partners

Under the hood, Gemini Enterprise is powered by an industry open standard called the Agent2Agent Protocol, which along with the Model Context Protocol, allows agents to communicate and link together. These technologies allow agents to communicate securely and coordinate complex tasks, ingest data from first- and third-party systems, and execute the tasks using Google’s built-in and partner tools.

“Our goal is to make Gemini Enterprise the central destination for customers to access the agents they use daily, including those from leading technology and [software-as-a-service] providers,” Kurian said.

Partners announcing Gemini Enterprise-compatible agents include Box Inc., with an agent capable of extracting, summarizing and building on information from documents and files; Salesforce Inc., integrating agents into Slack to enhance AI-powered productivity; ServiceNow Inc., providing agents that detect, investigate and recommend fixes for issues in customer cloud deployments; and S&P Global Inc., offering a data retrieval agent to analyze earnings calls, perform market research and retrieve financial metrics.

These agents will be visible to users through a curated discovery experience as validated agents, including a new “Google Cloud Ready – Gemini Enterprise” designation to mark those that meet the company’s highest standards. Agents from partners can be purchased through the Google Cloud Marketplace or directly from partners and deployed immediately.

Gemini Enterprise will be available in Standard and Plus editions with annual plans starting at $30 per seat per month. Gemini Business annual plans start at $21, with the business edition rolling out today and a 30-day free trial available for customers.
