Google launches Agentic Data Cloud to support enterprise AI agents

As the tech giant expands its AI toolkit, it’s also working to address interoperability gaps hindering the technology’s functionality.

Dive Brief: 

• Google is handing tech leaders new tools to support adoption of AI agents, including the introduction of Agentic Data Cloud at Google Cloud Next ‘26. The AI-native architecture aims to turn legacy enterprise data platforms into reasoning engines, according to a Wednesday announcement. 
• The Agentic Data Cloud powers a universal business context engine for AI agents and a cross-cloud lakehouse to connect an organization’s data estate and eliminate silos, the announcement said.
• The new cloud product targets boundaries between data platforms and AI agent functionality, according to Dion Hinchcliffe, VP and practice lead, CIO and technology buyers, at The Futurum Group. “For CIOs, this can be compelling because it directly addresses multicloud data sprawl and governance gaps,” he said in an email to CIO Dive.
