Smarter Agent Tools in Vertex AI

Google made it easier to build and manage AI agents on Vertex AI. With the new Agent Development Kit, teams can launch powerful agents with just a few lines of code. The Vertex AI Agent Engine offers a secure way to run these agents, no matter which framework you use. 

​

A new Agent2Agent Protocol lets agents work together – even across different systems – and it already has support from more than 50 partners. The Agent Garden helps teams get started faster with pre-built templates, and agents can now use real-time location data from Google Maps.

​

You can automate tasks across different systems, get faster development cycles, and build AI agents that respond to real-world context – like location, availability, or user input – without starting from scratch.

Pre-Built Agents for Common Workflows

​

To speed things up, Google introduced ready-made agents for popular use cases. These include:

​

• Data agents for reporting and analysis

• Security agents to help with incident triage

• Code assistants to support development teams

• Industry-specific agents for food ordering, support, ticketing, and more
   

This means you don’t need to build everything yourself. These out-of-the-box agents help you get immediate value by automating routine tasks, improving service speed, and reducing manual effort.

Google Agentspace: AI for Everyone

​

Agentspace is a new platform that brings AI agents to every employee – not just IT teams. It includes:

​

• An Agents Gallery with ready-to-use tools

• A no-code Agent Designer to build your own agents using simple prompts

• A partner marketplace for industry-specific solutions

• Chrome integration, so agents can be used directly in the browser
   

Even non-technical staff can automate their workflows, answer customer questions faster, or generate content—without writing code. It brings AI to the people who need it most, in the tools they already use.

Why It Matters

These updates help businesses automate faster, improve service quality, and save time across departments. Whether you’re looking to streamline IT operations, support customers more effectively, or build smart tools for your team—AI agents are now easier to adopt than ever.
