Google is moving from app-first clicks to agent-first workflows that operate across devices and enterprise systems.
Google’s plan is an AI overlay where you state a goal and agents handle the apps underneath, powered by Project Astra and Gemini across Android 17, Search, and Workspace overview. On the cloud side, the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (a reimagined Vertex AI) packages agent building, governance, and scaling, with a graph-based kit for complex workflows and an A2A protocol so agents can delegate across vendors Cloud Next wrap. Conceptually, this is the jump from brittle scripts to agentic automation that plans, acts, and adapts across enterprise APIs primer. Security has to keep pace: Google’s scan shows a 32% rise in malicious prompt injections on the open web, aimed at hijacking agents mid-task threat brief.
Workflows move from user-driven app hops to goal-driven agents, changing integration, auth, and observability patterns.
Enterprise data and APIs become the control plane; governance and injection defenses must be first-class.
-
terminal
Build a small agent that plans and executes a cross-app task (e.g., calendar + maps + email) using Gemini Live/Agent tooling; measure latency, failure modes, and auditability.
-
terminal
Red-team the agent with indirect prompt injections from fetched web/content; verify guardrails, content trust, and egress controls.
Legacy codebase integration strategies...
- 01.
Wrap legacy services with clear, least-privilege actions and idempotent endpoints so agents can orchestrate safely.
- 02.
Insert a policy and logging gateway between agents and internal APIs; capture full traces for rollback and compliance.
Fresh architecture paradigms...
- 01.
Design workflows as graphs of reversible steps with compensations; make state explicit and auditable.
- 02.
Model data access via scoped capabilities tied to tasks, not users; plan for cross-device context handoffs.
