AI Agent Essentials on Google Cloud
From AI assistants to enterprise AI agents
An in-person, instructor-led workshop at Google’s Boston office for leaders who want to build, manage, and scale AI agents that know their business, follow their rules, and keep their data secure.
Move from chatting with AI to running an AI-enabled team
AI is evolving from a tool that answers questions into a digital workforce that helps teams execute tasks, automate processes, and improve productivity.
This workshop is a practical guide for managers who want to stop being the person stuck doing repetitive work and start overseeing a capable digital team on Google Cloud. You’ll see how Gemini Enterprise handles day-to-day assistant work, and how the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform supports specialized agents that follow your business rules.
We focus on identifying the work worth automating, writing clear playbooks that AI can follow, and putting the right human checks in place, all while keeping your business data private and secure.
