The New Front Door: Deploying Enterprise AI Agents on Google Cloud

Enterprise AI just moved from chatbots to agent systems, and Google rebuilt its entire stack around it. This session traces that shift end-to-end on Google Cloud. We'll start with the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform — the rebrand and evolution of Vertex AI — where you build, orchestrate, and govern agents, with the A2A protocol now the default way agents talk to each other. (15 min) Then we'll move up to the Gemini Enterprise app and Workspace Studio's no-code builder, where line-of-business teams deploy those agents into real workflows. You'll leave understanding why the model is now priced per agent, not per token — and what that means for how your organization adopts AI. (15 min)
