Key announcements include Workspace Studio (no-code agent builder for Gmail, Docs, Sheets, etc.), ADK v1.0 stable releases in Python, Go, Java, and TypeScript, Project Mariner (web-browsing agent scoring 83.5% on WebVoyager), managed MCP servers across Google Cloud services, and the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol now at v1.2 in production at 150 organizations under Linux Foundation governance. The Model Garden hosts 200+ models including Anthropic Claude and Llama. CEO Thomas Kurian's pitch centers on Google being the only company owning the full stack from Ironwood TPUs to Gemini models to Workspace's 3 billion users, contrasting with competitors who 'hand you the pieces, not the platform.' Real-world deployments cited include Danfoss automating 80% of order processing decisions and Suzano cutting SQL query time by 95%. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
