Google maps the future of AI agents: Five lessons for businesses

Google's groundbreaking white paper reveals how AI agents leverage advanced reasoning, real-time data access, and autonomous decision-making to revolutionize enterprise operations and competitive advantage.

For enterprises, this means agents could take on tasks like troubleshooting a supply chain issue or analyzing financial data with a level of autonomy that reduces the need for constant human oversight. For example, an agent tasked with planning a business trip could use an API extension to check flight schedules, a data store to retrieve travel policies, and a mapping tool to find nearby hotels. Functions, for instance, allow developers to offload certain tasks to client-side systems, giving businesses more control over how agents access sensitive data or perform specific operations.
