Google says it was named a Leader in IDC's inaugural MarketScape for agentic AI platforms, arguing that the hard part of enterprise agents is deployment rather than raw model intelligence. The report scores suppliers on short-term capabilities and on how well their strategies match customer requirements over three to five years, and Google is cited for bridging quality, integration, security and governance. Google describes Gemini as connecting the surfaces where employees already work, including Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, where agents carry the same memory, skills and enterprise permissions across desktop and mobile. Through Model Garden, teams can reach more than 200 models, among them Google DeepMind's Gemini 4 Argon, Anthropic's latest models on day one, and third-party and open models. By default Gemini uses an Auto mode that starts with a fast model such as Gemini Flash and moves to a frontier reasoning model only when complexity demands it, while administrators can cap spending by project, department or agent. Google says governance comes at no extra cost, with each agent given its own authenticated identity, an audit trail linking agent actions to the user behind them, sandboxed execution and an Agent Gateway that applies corporate policies.
