Google named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: AI Platforms

Google Cloud announced its recognition as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: AI Platforms, Q3 2026, citing its unified platform, Gemini Enterprise, as a key driver of this achievement. The report highlights Google’s highest score in the Strategy category, reflecting its approach to integrating AI research, open platforms, and enterprise-focused tools. The recognition underscores the practical value of a single platform for building and deploying AI agents across organizations.

Gemini Enterprise serves as a central platform for AI adoption, connecting business users, developers, and IT leaders through shared context. It enables technical teams to build and deploy production-grade agents securely and cost-effectively, while business teams can use low-code and no-code tools to design agent behaviors. The platform supports over 200 native and third-party models, along with pre-built templates, accelerating the transition from prototype to deployment.

The platform is designed to handle multi-modal inputs, including text, code, audio, image, and video, within a single workflow. By integrating this capability with enterprise data, engineering teams can create contextual business experiences. Enterprise-grade governance, security, and observability features are built in by default, including guardrails, continuous evaluation, and real-time tracking for costs, latency, and token usage.

Gemini Enterprise also includes Knowledge Catalog, which aggregates metadata to improve agent accuracy through zero-copy federation. The platform aims to provide an open, scalable foundation for AI development, supporting organizations as agentic systems reshape enterprise software.
