When we gathered at Google Cloud Next a year ago, we talked about how generative AI was beginning to change the way we work. This week in Vegas, we showcased how AI is not only transforming work, it’s running at scale.
We’ve officially entered the agentic era. AI is becoming an active partner — an agent that can actually do the work for you safely and autonomously. At Next ‘26, we shared everything you need to build your own helpful, intelligent agents and use them to grow your business. Here are the highlights.
1. The new Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform is here.
For the technical teams building the future, we’re introducing the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. It’s a complete, end-to-end workspace to build, govern and scale your AI agents with the world’s best models at your fingertips.
We’re providing direct access to Gemini 3.1 Pro, our most capable model yet for handling complex workflows, alongside Gemini 3.1 Flash Image (also known as Nano Banana 2) for creating stunning visual assets, and Lyria 3 for professional-grade audio. We’re also expanding our commitment to open choice by adding Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.7.
You don’t have to be a machine-learning PhD to use these models or build an agent. Agent Studio, our low-code interface, lets developers and business users alike build and test agents using natural language.
