2. Vertex AI offers video, image, speech and music generation models.
Alongside the preview launch of the text-to-music model Lyria, we announced major updates to our existing tools. Veo 2 is getting advanced editing features (inpainting, outpainting and interpolation) and camera controls. Chirp 3 is adding Instant Custom Voice creation from just 10 seconds of audio and improved multi-speaker transcription. And Imagen 3 is seeing higher-quality generation and improved editing capabilities like object removal.
These advancements, coupled with enterprise safety features like SynthID watermarking and copyright indemnity, give businesses like L’Oreal, Kraft Heinz, and Goodby Silverstein & Partners tools to streamline creative workflows, reduce production time and produce content across diverse formats.
3. Companies are making smarter specialized agents using Google AI.
AI agents are becoming increasingly specialized and delivering significant return on investment for companies. Customer agents power solutions for Lowe’s and Wendy’s; data agents accelerate work at Wayfair and AES; coding agents boost developer productivity internally at Google; and security agents help monitor threats for firms like Dunn & Bradstreet.
We also announced updates to Google Agentspace, used by KPMG and Wells Fargo, including Chrome integration and a no-code Agent Assembler, aiming to provide every employee with accessible AI tools.
4. We introduced a protocol for AI agents to communicate.
In collaboration with over 50 industry partners, we introduced the Agent2Agent Protocol. This first-of-its-kind open standard enables AI agents built by different vendors or on different frameworks to securely communicate, exchange information and coordinate actions across various enterprise platforms.
In combination with the new Agent Development Kit (ADK) and the new Agent Garden, which provides samples and connectors, Google is making it easier for developers to build agents.
