🛠 Phase 1: Core Frameworks & Environment

The first step is choosing your build environment. Whether you want a managed platform or a local setup, start here.

• Managed Setup: Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform API Setup – The essential mission control for all Google Cloud agent projects.
• The Low-Code Path:Agent Builder Guide – Best for rapid development using managed orchestration, grounding, and enterprise data stores.
• Developer SDK:Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform SDK for Python – The client library required for writing custom agent logic and handling tool calls.
• Agent Starter Pack

• You can get access to Google Cloud in two ways:

  1. Sign up for a no-cost trial at cloud.google.com/free
  2. Use an existing Google Cloud account and request $100 in credits: https://forms.gle/xfv9vQzfRfNCCVbG7 (approved within 1–5 business days, while supplies last)

May 21st Update: Due to high demand, all remaining additional credits are now limited and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

🔗 Phase 2: Action Mechanisms & Data Connectivity

Agents need to "do" things and "know" things. Use these resources to give your agent agency over data and tools.

• Agent Builder Extensions: Building & Managing Extensions – Use pre-built Google extensions or connect your managed agent to any external API.

• Agent Builder Data Stores: Agent Search and Agent Conversation Overview – Use this unified platform to index your PDFs, websites, or BigQuery tables and give your managed agent a "source of truth."

🧰 Phase 3: Partner Integration & Infrastructure

Click each link below for Partner-specific information and resources:

• Arize
• Elastic
• Fivetran
• GitLab
• MongoDB
• Dynatrace

🧠 Phase 4: Reasoning, State, & Logic Hosting

Complex missions require memory and a place for your code to live.

• Managed Orchestration: Agent Runtime – A runtime for deploying Python-based agents (LangChain/LlamaIndex) built with Agent Builder or the SDK.
• State & Secrets: Secret Manager – Securely store and retrieve API keys for your partner integrations.

🚀 Phase 5: Deployment & Safety

• Agent Deployment: Agent Builder Deployment – Learn how to make your managed agent accessible via a web interface or API.
• Custom Backend Hosting: Cloud Run Quickstart – The go-to for hosting your own agent backends or custom-built tool servers.
• Safety & Guardrails:Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform Safety Settings – Configure filters to ensure your agent remains helpful and follows your defined constraints.
