Recently, Google Cloud made significant updates to its Vertex AI Agent Building Platform, aiming to provide enterprises with a more efficient way to build, scale, and manage AI agents. Developers can now use the new Agent Development Toolkit API to quickly create and deploy AI agents. At the same time, Google also launched a managed Vertex AI Agent Engine, helping enterprises scale agent capabilities in production environments, and enhancing agent management with new features such as local agent identities and security measures.

Additionally, Google's AI Pattern Search service has officially launched on Chrome browsers for iOS and Android devices. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple plans to pay Google approximately $1 billion annually to use Google's Gemini 1.2 trillion parameter foundation model, fully upgrading its Siri AI assistant system.

Industry analyst Bradley Shimmin stated that the updates to Vertex AI demonstrate Google's determination to maintain its leadership in the web interface market and AI software sector. The Gemini model series directly competes with generative AI systems from OpenAI and Anthropic, rapidly positioning itself among the leading model manufacturers in the United States.

To remain competitive among AI providers, Google continues to invest in AI development tools. Shimmin pointed out that Google realizes the need to build a developer ecosystem to achieve success. Previously scattered tools are gradually forming a high-visibility toolchain, attracting widespread attention from the developer community.

The launch of new tools includes building capabilities that allow developers to create more powerful agents by using Google's adaptive plugin framework or pre-built plugins. For example, the newly introduced self-healing feature enables agents to identify issues and retry when tool calls fail. In addition, the update added support for multiple programming languages, allowing developers to create Agent Development Kit (ADK) agents in languages such as Python and Java.

Google also provides a range of observability tools to help users track agent performance, identify, and resolve production issues. Developers can now use an evaluation layer to simulate agent performance, ensuring effective management of agents after scaling. Users can assign their own identities to agents, perform privilege access control, and establish policies and resource boundaries to meet compliance and governance requirements.

Key Points:

✅ Google launches new tools to help enterprises efficiently build and manage AI agents.  

🔧 Developers can leverage self-healing features and multi-language support to enhance agent performance.
