Google Cloud has launched Gemini Enterprise and Business, subscription-based AI agents targeting enterprises of all sizes. Priced at $30/$21 per user monthly, these subscriptions enable businesses to create custom AI agents integrating with platforms like Box and Salesforce, and leverage pre-built Google agents. Model Armor, a built-in security feature, addresses data privacy concerns. Google aims to automate entire processes, differentiating from OpenAI’s plugin approach. Analysts emphasize security and continuous model upgrades (Gemini 3.0) as critical for wider adoption.

Anthropic is aggressively expanding its global enterprise AI footprint, driven by surging international demand for its Claude models.
