We’ve seen a sharp rise in demand from enterprises that want to use AI agents to automate complex tasks, personalize customer experiences, and increase operational efficiency. Today, we’re announcing a Google Cloud AI agent ecosystem program to help partners build and co-innovate AI agents with technical and go-to-market resources from Google Cloud. We’re also launching AI Agent Space, a new category in our Google Cloud Marketplace for customers to easily find and deploy partner-built AI agents. 

Through this program, we’ll provide product support, marketing amplification, and co-selling opportunities to help our services and ISV partners bring these solutions to market faster, reach more customers, and grow their AI agent businesses. Our goal is to provide customers with a rich ecosystem of solutions that sit on top of our world-class infrastructure and offer the choice and optionality needed to tailor AI for their businesses and maximize value from AI investments.

New resources for partners building AI Agents

To increase the development and adoption of AI agents, we’re focusing on supporting partners in three key areas:

• Accelerated agent development: We'll provide partners with direct access to Google Cloud's product and engineering teams for guidance and optimization of their AI agents. Partners will also receive early access to our latest AI technologies, technical enablement and best practices, and dedicated support for bringing their solutions to market quickly via Google Cloud Marketplace.
• Go-to-market success: New go-to-market programs and co-selling opportunities specifically designed for AI agent solutions will help partners more effectively promote their offerings and drive adoption across a wider range of customers.
• Increased customer visibility: We will highlight the innovative work of our partners through targeted marketing resources, blogs, and dedicated events, which will increase visibility of partner-built AI agents and help them stand out in our growing AI ecosystem.

Offerings from services partners

We’ve seen significant momentum from services partners who have used Google Cloud’s technology to help customers successfully build and deploy AI agents. Through this program, our services partners will make their AI agents available to even more customers, including on AI Agent Space in the future. Here are some of their innovative agent solutions:
